Agilent/Keysight AP1200A

The Keysight AP1200A is a multi-protocol vehicle network interface for simultaneous data logging and analysis of automotive communication buses. It integrates DoIP Ethernet, 8 channels of CAN FD, and 4 channels of LIN with hardware time-stamping across all protocols. A fully isolated high-speed USB connection ensures safe PC communication while protecting host equipment.

The device logs data to removable microSD storage with battery-backed real-time clock accuracy. ECU and gateway simulation, open APIs, and scripting engine support enable real-time messaging control via Keysight Vehicle Spy software.
