Rebel LT FAQs
Is the Rebel LT isolated?
Rebel LT has USB isolation that protects the device and your laptop when used in high-voltage environments.
Isolating the USB port in the device is crucial for safeguarding both the equipment and connected devices, mainly when operating in high-voltage environments. This isolation is a protective barrier, preventing potential electrical issues or surges from reaching and damaging the device or the connected laptop. Creating an isolated barrier significantly reduces the risk of voltage spikes, ground loops, or other electrical disturbances affecting the USB port. This protective measure ensures the overall integrity and longevity of the equipment, minimizing the potential for damage and malfunctions in high-voltage scenarios.
What is the current consumption of this logger (@12V)?
In operation- 250 to 350mA
Power-down mode <2mA in
Sleep mode- 80mA
How to install drivers for this logger?
Search for "Rebel Drivers" in the Windows Search bar. If not found, install from C:\Program Files (x86)\Influx Technology\DiaLog5.3.0.0\RebelDrivers
Why my logger is not getting Detected?
Ensure the Rebel Driver is installed on your computer.
My logger is not recording CAN data, what can I do to fix it?
There could be several reasons:
Ensure that you have configured the correct Baud Rate.
Make sure the physical connections are correct.
Ensure CAN Bus is terminated.
For more info, refer to our website's Troubleshooting flow chart in Dialog Help or the CAN Troubleshooting guide.
Is It possible to collect standard OBD data?
The Rebel LT data logger can fully record standard OBD-II live data. Influx Technology's Dialog software provides pre-configured options for commonly used OBD PIDs (parameter IDs), streamlining the configuration process for efficient data acquisition. For a step-by-step guide, view thiss tutorial video.
What could be the resons behind my logger not recording OBD data?
There could be several reasons:
Ensure you use the Proper Tester and Module Ident in ISO settings.
Ensure that the PID added is supported by the vehicle or not.
Disable the Send start section and Sample only valid PID option in ISO settings.
Does it support SD Cards & what is the maximum storage capacity of the Rebel LT?
The Rebel LT data loggers are equipped with SDHC card slots, offering up to 64GB capacities, enabling extended recording durations and accommodating large datasets. This flexibility allows users to tailor their data acquisition needs to various project requirements, from short-term monitoring to long-term data collection campaigns.
Which type of SD card will be purchased if my existing SD card is damaged?
Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards are highly recommended to ensure optimal performance and data integrity with Influx Technology's data loggers. Influx does not guarantee the smooth functioning of the logger with any other SD cards available.
Can I get the data from the logger SD card?
You can retrieve the data from the Rebel logger in two ways:
Using the Dialog software via USB cable from the Rebel Explorer option
Directly from the SD card by plugging it into the PC
How can I access the SD card of the Rebel LT logger?
A Flap protects the SD Card inside a Rebel LT logger. It can be opened by pressing the flap from the top and lifting it.
My logger is recording data at the wrong time; what should I do?
First, connect your Rebel LT to your computer and open DiaLog software. Click on "Set Time" from the top menu to sync your Data Logger's time with your computer's time. It's important to note that Rebel Data Loggers use rechargeable batteries for the RTC. The battery voltage may decrease if the logger is not used for several weeks. In such cases, you can plug the logger into a 12V power source and leave it for more than 12 hours to charge the battery. Once charged, you can set the time and confirm if the logger keeps time accurately. If the logger shows the wrong time, the battery might die and need replacement.
Can I reconfigure the Rebel LT by inserting a preconfigured SD-Card?
Note: Ensure to format the SD card using the Rebel LT atleast once before using.
1) Insert the SD Card into the PC
2) Open Dialog
3) Right-click on the configuration which you wish to send to the logger
4) Choose Send configuration to SD card
5) Choose the SD Card
6) Select 5.3 Version Firmware
7) Insert the card in the Logger and power ON the logger
Can I power up the instrumentation upon connection?
Ensure that the AUX Power settings are enabled in the configuration properties. Refer to the K-series Support page for how to do this here!
Where can I find the information about the LED if, LED functions written on my logger got erased?
F1. CAN 1 (MS) Bus traffic.
F2. Data Logger is configured and ready.
F3. Instrumentation/Trigger status.
F4. GPS status—flashes when acquiring data.
F5. CAN 0 (HS) Bus traffic.
Status—On—waiting, Flashing—Logging.
CN—Connect—ON—connected to StreamLog or DiaLog, Blinking—attempting to connect or active communication.
Is there a free version of the software to configure the Rebel LT?
DiaLog Configurator is a free software enabling users to configure a Rebel LT device and covers basic functionality. In comparison, the other versions of DiaLog software can be purchased depending on the user's requirements. Click to view the features of each DiaLog version here!
How does the Rebel LT recognise when it should go into the power-down mode, and how does it exit from this mode?
Rebel LT goes to power down mode after both the CAN Buses stop sending CAN messages; the device will wait for the time specified by the user while making the configuration and then goes to power down mode. The device can exit from the power down mode when it receives any CAN message on CAN 0 or CAN1.
