FAQ
In this FAQ you will find answers to key questions about the XORAYA N8000 data sink – from typical application scenarios and technical features to how it compares to other solutions.
For which applications is the N8000 typically used?
The XORAYA N8000 serves as a central data sink in distributed logger systems and bundles data streams from several data loggers and probes. This enables the synchronous acquisition and storage of large amounts of data from different sources.
The N8000 shows its strengths particularly in applications with high data volumes – for example in ADAS systems and in the field of autonomous driving.
Typical applications in the automotive sector:
- Central data logging in complex vehicle systems (e.g. ADAS, autonomous driving)
- Vehicle development and functional validation
- Test drives and testing
Further areas of application:
- Robotics and autonomous systems
- Mechanical engineering and industrial plants (central data acquisition)
- Aerospace (distributed measurement systems)
- Research and development (acquisition of extensive measurement data)
Which devices is the N8000 compatible with?
The XORAYA N8000 data sink uses removable storage units (XORAYA RSU) for data storage and is designed for setting up centralized logging architectures. The data sink can be combined with probes and data loggers from the XORAYA ecosystem, enabling scalable, distributed measurement systems.
What is the difference between an N8000 and the N16000?
The N8000 records data at up to 8 Gbit/s. The N16000 is the next evolutionary stage of the XORAYA N series and now supports a data rate of up to 15 Gbit/s.
What requirements and standards does the device meet?
The XORAYA N8000 data sink was developed for use in automotive test environments and fulfills typical requirements for measurement and data recording systems in vehicle networks. The XORAYA N8000 data sink supports common automotive technologies, diagnostic standards and time synchronization procedures.
Which bus systems and interfaces does the N8000 data sink support?
Several hardware variants are available for the XORAYA N8000. Each variant combines different numbers and types of supported bus systems and interfaces.
The data sink supports the following interfaces:
- Automotive Ethernet (100BASE-T1)

These hardware configurations enable the parallel recording of several vehicle networks with a single automotive data logger.
Other bus systems such as CAN, CAN-FD, LIN or FlexRay can be recorded via connected data loggers and probes.
What software solutions can be used to operate and analyze the N8000?
The N8000 currently runs on firmware version 5, meaning that full configuration and control are possible via the WebGUI. No additional hardware or software is required to retrieve data, as the N8000 features a file system; it can be accessed directly over the network like any other network device.
In addition, the XORAYA Suite and the XORAYA SDK (Software Development Kit) are also supported.
What advantages does the modular architecture of the XORAYA N8000 offer?
The XORAYA N8000 data sink is based on a modular hardware and software architecture that enables flexible adaptations for specific development and test projects. This allows the system to be seamlessly integrated into existing vehicle and test environments.
