What is OBD2 data logger?
OBD2 Data Loggers: An OBD logger can be used to record OBD2 timeseries data to an SD card in “standalone mode” (i.e. no PC or app required). The data can be extracted via USB or an extractable SD card for later analysis. The CANedge1 is an example of a CAN bus data logger that can be used as an OBD2 data logger.
What is data logging in a car?
Data logging is the ability to view all major parameters that relate to engine operation. Some of these parameters are engine rpm, coolant/air temperature, engine load (psi), air/fuel, injector duty cycle, throttle position, vehicle speed, etc.
What does OBD2 report?
OBD-II provides access to data from the engine control unit (ECU) and offers a valuable source of information when troubleshooting problems inside a vehicle. The SAE J1979 standard defines a method for requesting various diagnostic data and a list of standard parameters that might be available from the ECU.

What is OBD2 and how does it work?
The OBD2 protocol (SAE J1979) specifies a range of standardized vehicle data that you can log from your car. Note, however, that each car differs in what OBD2 data is supported – and in particular older cars often support fewer parameters.
How do I log OBD2 data to an SD card?
The CANedge lets you easily log OBD2 data to an 8-32 GB SD card. Simply specify what OBD2 PIDs you wish to request, then connect it to your car via an OBD2 adapter to start logging. Process the data via free software/APIs and our OBD2 DBC. To get started recording OBD2 data, it is helpful to understand the basics of the raw OBD2 message structure.
How to retrieve data from OBD codes?
Retrievable data. Get a diagnostic tool, such as an OBD2 code reader, get a diagnostic tool to retrieve the data stored in the scanner’s memory that you can use later. We hope this blog post has helped you understand the power of OBD codes.
