-OBDII

Thank you for purchasing the Dynojet Data Link Module-OBDII (DJDLM-OBDII). The
DJDLM-OBDII allows data, such as spark advance, throttle position, head
temperature, inlet air temperature, and numerous other parameters to be transmitted
from the vehicle’s OBDII compatible Powertrain Control Module (PCM) via the
vehicle’s data port. The WinPEP 7 software lets you easily view, save, and compare this
data using just a few mouse clicks.

The DJDLM-OBDII is great for PCM tuning and maintaining consistency while dyno
testing. No need to guess if the vehicle is too hot, or perhaps if the PCM is retarding
timing. You can even show this information right along side your dyno results using
the WinPEP 7 software.

Dynojet Research is known for its ultra consistent and repeatable line of chassis
dynos, and now with the DJDLM-OBDII you can gather data directly from the vehicle
being tested to achieve even greater consistency. This innovation is just another
example of the professional results you gain using Dynojet products.

ONFIGURING THE MAKERUN SCREEN

The gauges displayed on the MakeRun screen are completely configurable. Editing a
gauge allows live data from the DJDLM-OBDII to be displayed on the MakeRun
screen. Any data from the DJDLM-OBDII will always be recorded when you sample a
run. Dynojet recommends displaying live gauges on the MakeRun screen to help
verify data is streaming from the DJDLM-OBDII to WinPEP 7.

For more detailed information on gauges, refer to the WinPEP 7 User Guide.

1Click the Edit Mode button . You cannot edit gauges unless you are in Edit

Mode.

The gauge toolbar will appear.

2 Choose the style of gauge you would like.
3 Click and drag, holding the mouse button down as you do so, on the MakeRun

screen until the dotted box is the desired size. Release the mouse and the gauge
will appear.

4 Edit the gauge properties.

4a Right click on the gauge and choose Gauge Properties.

The Gauge Property Editor dialog box will appear.

4b Select a Data Channel from the drop down list.

Each type of gauge has a slightly different dialog box, but most share the same
properties. Most channels available are standard channels, but the channels that
are listed with an asterisk are from peripheral devices (Expansion Systems).

The Prefix *C_ indicates data channels that are available from the DJDLM-OBDII.
Other expansion systems have an asterisk (*) in front of the channel name. Data
channels without an asterisk (*) in front of their names are information from your
dyno.

Data Channel determines which channel the gauge is linked to (such as the
DJDLM-OBDII). The data channels that you selected when you configured your
DJDLM-OBDII are the ones that are available. If you do not see a data channel that
you think should be shown, make sure that it is a supported channel that you
enabled when configuring your device as shown on page 11. Some types of
gauges automatically place the name of the Data Channel selected on the gauge.
Digital gauges do not display the name and will require you to add a label.

Note: You must be connected to the dyno electronics for the list of channels to be
available.

IEWING THE RESULTS

Data streaming from the PCM during the dyno run is available to be graphed right
along side all of the standard channels such as HP, Trq, AFR, and rpm. This feature will
be instrumental to assist you with troubleshooting, tuning, and maintaining
consistency during dyno testing.

Note: Rpm cannot be graphed on the horizontal axis due to the sampling rate
from the vehicle sensors. WinPEP provides graphing of rpm on the vertical axis.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

There are four basic configurations for the Dynojet Data Link Module-OBDII (DJDLM­OBDII). Each DJDLM-OBDII ships with the ability to be configured using any of the
four methods described below. Dynojet recommends the DJDLM-OBDII be set up as a
client on your wireless network. If this is not possible, it is recommended to use a
direct connection to your dynamometer PC with a category 5 crossover cable.

Stand Alone Wireless—directly connects to your PC via your PC’s wireless card. This
is the factory default and requires no special configuration. Refer to “Configuring the
DJDLM-OBDII as a Stand Alone Wireless Device” on page A-5 for more information.

Figure A-1: Stand Alone Wireless Configuration

Wireless Client—connects through your wireless network as a node on the wireless

network. Refer to “Configuring the DJDLM-OBDII as a Wireless Client” on page A-6 for
more information.

Figure A-2: Wireless Client Configuration

Category 5 Crossover Cable—directly connects to your PC with a category 5

crossover cable. This is the fastest data transfer option available. No configuration is
needed to the DJDLM-OBDII when using the crossover cable; just plug and play. Refer
to “Configuring the DJDLM-OBDII with a Category 5 Crossover Cable” on page A-8 for
more information.

This section describes the four ways to configure the DJDLM-OBDII. Changes made
do not take effect until you save them and reset the DJDLM-OBDII. Dynojet
recommends documenting any changes you make; this will make it easier to undo
incorrect modifications should the DJDLM-OBDII not function properly. Tracking
your changes allows for faster technical support of the DJDLM-OBDII.

ONFIGURING THE

The stand alone wireless device is the factory default. This is a direct wireless
connection from your dynamometer PC and the DJDLM-OBDII; no configuration is
necessary.

If the DJDLM-OBDII does not make a direct wireless connection, click Load Factory
Default Settings as shown in Figure A-7. This will load all defaults and allow for AD
Hoc Wireless communication with your dynamometer PC.

1 Open your PC’s wireless connection manager (usually windows manages

wireless).

If you are not sure how to manage your wireless networks, contact Dynojet

Technical Support or a local IT professional.

2 Scan for available networks. You should see a DLM or OBDII in your list.
3 Select DLM or OBDII from the list. The connection will be completed.

Your wireless network must be running a maximum security of WEP with a 64 bit
encryption. The wireless network can be open or shared, but "WEP security" is the
highest security level available using the 64 bit encryption that the DJDLM-OBDII is
currently configured to understand. If you cannot provide this level of security, or do
not feel safe enough with this level of security, another method of configuring the
DJDLM-OBDII must be used.

1 In the Boot Options window, scroll down to Wireless Network Card.
2Select Client then Server from the Network Type drop down menu.

3 In the ESSID text box, type the wireless network name used in your business. The

ESSID are case sensitive, be sure to match the case of your existing networks

SSID.

4Select Auto from the Mode drop down menu. You can statically define the Mode,

however it is not necessary in most installations.

5 In the Key text box, type your wireless WEP key you have previously assigned to

your wireless network. If you do not have a WEP key on your wireless network, it

is strongly recommended that you use a WEP key.

The key is a hexadecimal key using a ten digit combination of numbers (0-9) and

letters (A-F).

6 Save the changes.
7 Unplug the crossover cable from the DJDLM-OBDII and remove the cable

connecting the DJDLM-OBDII to the vehicle.
8 Wait a few seconds. Reconnect the cable.

The wireless client will negotiate with your wireless network and you can begin

using the DJDLM-OBDII with the WinPEP software.

The category 5 crossover cable ships with the DJDLM-OBDII. This is the fastest data
transfer option available. No configuration is needed to the DJDLM-OBDII when
using the crossover cable; just plug and play.

1 Power the DJDLM-OBDII on in the car.
2 Attach the crossover cable to the Ethernet port on the DJDLM-OBDII.
3 Attach the crossover cable from the DJDLM-OBDII to the dynamometer PC’s

Ethernet port.

DJDLM-OBDII

This configuration requires a standard category 5 patch cable and a network jack.

You must have a DHCP server configured on your network to run this option. If you
are not sure what a DHCP server is, contact Dynojet Technical Support or a local IT
professional.

1 In the Boot Options window, scroll down to Built-in Internet.
2Select Client then Server from the Network Type drop down menu.

Once connected to your Ethernet network, the DHCP server will assign the

DJDLM-OBDII an IP address and it will be a network member. The DJDLM-OBDII

will then be visible through the network to WinPEP.
