MoTeC Introduction 1
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a MoTeC ADL Dash / Logger and/or EDL Enclosed
Data Logger
ADL
The MoTeC ADL Dash / Logger is a combined LCD dash unit and high
performance data logger.
EDL
The EDL is a model of the ADL that is manufactured without a display screen.
Aside from this, it functions in the same way, using the same software as the
ADL. In the remainder of this manual when reference is made to the ADL, it
also refers to the EDL – except when referring to the display.
This Manual Covers:
• Overview of the ADL/EDLs capabilities
• Installation
• Overview of the MoTeC Dash Manager software
Software Information
For detailed information on using the various software programs refer to the
online help supplied with the program.
Other Manuals
Separate Manuals are available for:
• MoTeC Lap Beacon / BR2
• Interpreter Data Analysis Software
Sensor Details
Drawings are available for all MoTeC sensors. The drawings detail all
mounting and wiring requirements for each sensor.
Page 4
2 Overview
Overview
Display
The ADL display is a high contrast, high temperature, custom made LCD
display.
The display contains a Bar Graph, three Numeric Displays, a Centre Numeric
Display and a Bottom Alpha / Numeric Display.
Bar Graph
The 70 segment bar graph has a user definable range and is typically used as
a tacho, however it can be used to display any other value. When used as a
tacho it may be configured for up to 19,000 RPM.
A fully programmable shift point can be displayed, which can also be gear
dependent.
Page 5
MoTeC Overview 3
The operation of the bar graph can be different for each of the display modes
(Race Practice and Warmup), this allows a lower range to be used in Warmup
mode.
Numeric Displays
The three numeric displays (Left, Right and Top Right) can be programmed to
display any value, which may be different for each of the display modes
(Race Practice and Warmup).
Note that each of the three numeric displays has a different number of digits
and are therefore suited to displaying different values. Fox example the Top
Right display can only show values up to a maximum of 199 and is therefore
not suitable for displaying Lap Times, but is suitable for displaying many other
values such as Lap Number of Fuel Remaining, Engine Temperature etc.
The numeric displays can show any channel value plus up to two override
values, which are shown each time their value is updated, this is useful for
values that are updated periodically, for example Lap Time. The override
values are shown for a programmable period of time, for example a numeric
display could normally show the Running Lap Time (which is continuously
updating) then be overwritten by the Lap Time for 10 seconds each time the
Lap Time is updated.
Enunciators for some of the common display values are provided above the
numeric displays, eg. ET (Engine Temperature), OP (Oil Pressure).
Page 6
4 Overview
Centre Numeric Display
The Centre Numeric display is incorporated to show the current gear but may
be used for other purposes.
Bottom Display
The 13 digit alpha numeric display can display up to 20 lines of information
that can be scrolled up or down using the external buttons. Each of the 20
lines can display up to 3 channel values at a time.
The values shown may be different for each of the three display modes.
Additionally the bottom display can show up to four override values, similar to
the numeric displays.
The bottom display will also show any active alarm messages, which will
override all other values until the alarm is cleared.
Display Modes
The display has three main modes of operation, Race, Practice and Warm
Up.
Page 7
MoTeC Overview 5
Warm Up
The warm up display is used to display important engine sensor readings
during engine warm up, eg, RPM, Battery Voltage, Engine Temperature, Oil
Pressure, Oil Temperature & Fuel Pressure.
The bottom display may be used display many other values that may need
checking during warm up.
Practice
The practice display is used to display basic information, plus information to
help the driver improve lap times, eg. Lap Time, Lap / Gain Loss, Maximum
Straight Speed, Minimum Corner Speed or Corner Exit Speed.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
Page 8
6 Overview
Race
The race display is normally used to display minimal information, eg RPM,
Lap Time, Fuel Remaining or Laps Remaining.
The bottom display may be used to display additional information as needed.
Display Formatting
Units
The display units can be changed to suit the driver, for example the driver
may prefer to see the engine temperature in Fahrenheit rather Celsius. This is
independent of the units used for other purposes.
Decimal Places
The number of decimal places can be reduced for display purposes, for
example the engine temperature is measured to 0.1 °C but is better displayed
with no decimal places. This is normally done automatically.
Alarms
When an alarm is activated a message is shown on the bottom line of the
display, a warning light can also be activated which is recommended to draw
the drivers attention to the display.
The message displayed can be defined and can also include the current
sensor reading or the sensor reading when the alarm was triggered.
Page 9
MoTeC Overview 7
The alarms remain active until they are acknowledged, either by a driver
activated switch or automatically after a defined period of time.
The warning alarm limits are fully programmable and may include up to 6
comparisons to ensure that the alarms are only activated at the correct time.
For example, an engine temperature alarm may activate at 95 °C if the
ground speed has been above 50 km/h for 30 seconds. The speed
comparison avoids the alarm showing during a pit stop due to heat soak.
Additionally another comparison could be set at a higher temperature to cover
all other situations.
The comparison values can be automatically incremented or (decremented)
when an alarm occurs. For example the engine temperature alarm may be set
at 95°C with and increment of 5°C, so that the second time the alarm
activates it activates at 100°C. A limit may be set on the number of times the
comparison value is allowed to increment, also it may return to its original
value after a period of time, in case the alarm condition was temporary.
The alarms can also be dependent on the current display mode (Race,
Practice or Warmup)
Data Logging
Data logging allows the sensor readings (or any calculated value) to be stored
in the ADL for later analysis on a Personal Computer.
Logging Memory
The ADL comes with 8 Mbytes of logging memory. Various options determine
how much of the memory can be used and whether Fastest Lap Logging and
Burst Logging are enabled.
See the Options Summary in the Appendices for details.
Page 10
8 Overview
Power
The ADL power can be turned off at any time without losing the logged data.
The ADL uses FLASH memory which does not require an internal battery to
keep it alive.
Logging Rate
The ADL can store any value at up to 1000 times per second, which can be
individually set for each logged item.
The rate at which the values are logged is very important – the value must be
logged fast enough to record all variations in the reading. If the value is
logged too slowly then the readings can be totally meaningless. For example
suspension position normally needs to be logged at 100 times per second or
more.
Note, however, that if a value is logged faster than necessary it will not
improve the accuracy of the logged data, it will just reduce the total logging
time available. For example, the engine temperature only needs to be logged
at once per second.
Update Rate
Not all values are updated 1000 times per second, and logging them faster
than their update rate will simply waste memory.
The update rates for all input types are listed below:
Input Type Update Rate
(times per second)
Analog Voltage Inputs 1 to 4 & 11 to 14 1000
Other Analog Voltage Inputs 500
Analog Temp Inputs 500
Lambda Inputs 100
Digital Inputs & Speed Inputs 100
RS232 & CAN Communications 50 max *
* Note that the RS232 & CAN Communications update depends on how
frequently the data is sent from the device. Typically the update rate from an
M4, M48, M8 or M800 ECU is about 20 times per second using RS232, and
about 50 times per second for the M800 using CAN.
Page 11
MoTeC Overview 9
Logging Time
The maximum logging time is dependent on the logging memory size, the
number of items logged and the rate at which they are logged. The
configuration software will report the logging time, taking all these factors into
account.
Logging Types
The ADL provides three ways of logging the data: Normal Logging, Fastest
Lap Logging and Burst Logging.
Normal Logging
Normal Logging continuously logs data to memory whenever the Start
Condition is true (and the Stop Condition is false).
Logging Rates
The logging Rate may be individually set for each value between 1 to 1000
times per second.
Start and Stop Logging Conditions
To avoid logging unnecessary data, logging can be started and stopped by
user definable conditions. For example logging might start when the vehicle
exceeds 50 km/h, and stop when the engine RPM is below 500 RPM for 10
seconds. Note that the Start Condition must be true and the Stop Condition
must be false before logging will start.
Memory Filling Options
When the logging memory is full the ADL may be configured to either stop
logging, or to overwrite the oldest data, which ensures that the most recent
data is always available. This is referred to as cyclic logging.
For most applications it is recommended that cyclic logging is used.
Logging Setup Files
The logging list can be saved and loaded from a file. This allows multiple
logging setups to be used.
Page 12
10 Overview
Fastest Lap Logging
Fastest Lap logging records data for the Fastest Lap since the data was last
retrieved. Normally this is used for items that require fast logging rates, such
as suspension position. This allows the available memory is used more
efficiently.
Note that Fastest Lap Logging requires that a Lap Beacon is connected.
Fastest Lap Logging is in addition to and works concurrently with Normal
Logging.
Up to 50 values may be logged.
Logging Rates
The logging Rate may be individually set for each value between 1 to 1000
times per second.
Maximum Lap Time
Note that a maximum Lap Time must be entered which indicates to the ADL
how much memory to reserve for fastest lap logging. If there are no Lap
Times less than this value then Fastest Lap data will not be available.
Memory Occupied
The amount of memory occupied by Fastest Lap logging depends on how
many items are logged, how fast they are logged and the specified maximum
Lap Time. The effect on normal logging time is shown in the configuration
software.
Logging Setup Files
The logging list can be saved and loaded from a file. This allows multiple
logging setups to be used.
Burst Logging
Burst logging allows data to be captured at high speed without wasting large
amounts of memory.
Two independent burst logging systems are available.
Up to 20 values may be logged for each.
Page 13
MoTeC Overview 11
Logging Rates
The logging rate may be set between 100 and 1000 times per second and is
the same for all logged items.
Trigger Conditions
Burst logging is triggered when a defined condition becomes true.
Note that the normal Start and Stop Logging conditions do not affect burst
logging.
Trigger Position
Burst logging can capture data before and/or after the burst start condition
becomes true (trigger event). This is because the burst logging data is stored
continuously, overwriting the oldest data as necessary. When the trigger
event occurs, a proportion of the old data (before the trigger event) is kept
and the rest of the memory is filled with new data (after the trigger event).
Events and Memory
Up to 8 events can be captured for each of the two burst systems. Each burst
event occupies 64 kbytes of memory (1/16
The number of events may be set by the user. Note that this will affect the
amount of memory available for normal logging.
th
of a Mbyte).
Logging Time
Since each burst event is fixed at 64 kbytes of memory, the burst logging time
is dependent on how many items are logged and how fast they are logged.
The burst logging time is reported by the configuration software.
For example 8 items logged at 500 times per second will last 8.2 seconds.
Retrieving the Logged Data
A personal computer is used to unload the logged data from the ADL. The
logged data is then stored on the computer hard disk.
The logged data may be retrieved at very high speed (approximately 20
seconds per Mbyte).
After each unload the user has the option to clear the logging memory.
The unload may be interrupted part way through if necessary by
disconnecting the computer. The partial unload will contain the most recently
Page 14
12 Overview
logged data and will be stored on the computer hard disk. In this case the
ADL logging memory is not cleared and logging will continue as normal at the
end of the existing data. Next time the logged data is unloaded both the new
data and the previously partly unloaded data will be retrieved.
Track Map Sensor Requirements
In order for the logging analysis software to plot a track map the following
sensors are required and must be logged.
• Lateral G force
• Wheel Speed
• Lap Beacon (Note that the ‘Beacon’ Channel must be logged)
• Longitudinal G force (Optional: See Below)
A Longitudinal G force sensor should be used if the vehicle has only one
wheel speed sensor. This allows the analysis software to eliminate wheel
lockups which is essential when creating or using a track map.
Other Functions
The ADL can perform many other functions and calculations including the
following:
Functions:
• Shift Lights
• Engine Log
Calculations:
The ADL can calculate and display any of the following:
• Lap Time, Lap Speed, Running Lap Time, Split Lap Times, Lap Number,
Laps Remaining.
• Ground Speed, Drive Speed, Wheel Slip, Lap Distance, Trip Distance,
Odometer.
• Lap Time Gain / Loss continuously displays how far behind or ahead the
vehicle is compared to a reference lap.
• Current Gear.
Page 15
MoTeC Overview 13
• Minimum Corner Speed, Maximum Straight Speed and other Min/Max
values.
• Fuel Used, Fuel Usage, Fuel Remaining, Laps Remaining, Fuel Used per
Lap.
General Purpose Calculations:
The ADL also provides a number of general purpose calculations including:
• 2D and 3D Lookup Tables
• User Defined Conditions
• General Purpose Timers
• Mathematics
The user defined conditions or tables can be used to activate items such as a
Thermatic Fan or Gearbox Oil Pump.
Measurement Inputs
The ADL measurement inputs can be connected to a wide variety of sensors.
This allows the ADL to measure vehicle parameters such as: Suspension
Movement, Wheels Speeds, Steering Angle, Engine Temperature etc.
Input Types
The ADL has a number of different input types which are designed to suit the
different types of sensors.
The following inputs are available:
• 20 Voltage Inputs
• 8 Temperature Inputs
• 2 Wide Band Air Fuel Ratio Inputs (Lambda Inputs)
• 4 Switch Inputs
• 4 Digital Inputs
• 4 Wheel Speed
Page 16
14 Overview
Options
The number of inputs that can be used depends on which options are
enabled. See the Options Summary in the Appendices for details.
Internal Sensors
The ADL also includes internal sensors for Battery Voltage and ADL Internal
Temperature.
Sensors
Different types of sensors are available to suit different types of
measurements.
Sensors convert a physical measurement (e.g. Pressure) into an electrical
signal (e.g. Volts). Different types of sensors generate different types of
electrical signals. For example most temperature sensors convert the
temperature into a variable resistance signal which may be measured by the
ADL Temperature inputs, however most wheel speed sensors generate a
variable frequency signal which must be connected to either a Digital input or
a Speed input.
Calibration
Calibration is the process of converting the electrical value, e.g. Volts into a
number that represents the physical value, e.g. Temperature.
All inputs can be calibrated to suit the connected sensor.
The calibrations can be selected from a number of predefined calibrations
provided by M oTe C , or they can be entered by the user.
Analog Voltage Inputs
The 20 Analog Voltage inputs are normally used to measure the signals from
analog voltage type sensors, i.e. sensors with variable voltage outputs, such
as:
• Rotary or linear potentiometers
• Signal conditioned 3 wire pressure sensors
• Thermocouple amplifiers
• Accelerometers
These inputs can also be used to measure two wire variable resistance
sensors if an external pullup resistor is connected from the input to the 5V
Page 17
MoTeC Overview 15
sensor supply. Additionally, on/off switch signals may be connected, which
may also require an external pullup resistor.
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Measurement Methods
These inputs can be configured to use several measurement methods to suit
the various types of sensors:
• Absolute Voltage: The sensor voltage is independent of the sensor supply
voltage
• Ratiometric Voltage: The sensor voltage is proportional to the 5V sensor
supply voltage
• Variable Resistance: The sensor resistance can be entered directly.
• On/Off : The voltage for on and off can be defined
Input Voltage Range
The measurable input voltage range is 0 to 15 Volts. This allows selection
from a wide range of sensors.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Analog Temp Inputs
The 8 Analog Temp inputs are identical to the Analog Voltage inputs, except
that they contain a 1000 ohm resistor which is connected internally from the
input pin to the 5V sensor supply. This allows the Analog Temp inputs to be
used with two wire variable resistance sensors such as:
• Two wire thermistor temperature sensors
• Two wire variable resistance pressure sensors
Some voltage output sensors can also be used if they can drive the 1000 ohm
resistor without causing an error in their reading (eg M oTe C Thermocouple
Amplifier). Additionally, on/off switch signals may be connected.
Page 18
16 Overview
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Measurement Methods
These inputs use the same measurement methods as the Analog Voltage
Inputs.
Input Voltage Range
The measurable input voltage range is 0 to 15 Volts. This allows selection
from a wide range of sensors.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Wide Band Lambda Inputs
The two high accuracy, fully temperature compensated Wide Band Air Fuel
Ratio measurement inputs can be used if the Lambda Option is enabled.
These inputs connect directly to a M oTe C 4 wire Wide Band Lambda Sensor
and are accurate to 1.5% up to 1.2 Lambda under all load and temperature
conditions.
Note that this is the Bosch LSM sensor and not the 5 wire Bosch LSU.
Note that NTK Lambda sensors should be connected to an Analog Voltage
input via the appropriate amplifier.
Switch Inputs
The 4 switch inputs are generally used for the external switches required to
operate the ADL display. They can also be connected to a brake switch or
other switch.
These inputs have a 4700 ohm resistor connected internally from the input pin
to the 5V sensor supply so that a switch can be simply connected between
the input pin and 0 volts.
Options
All four inputs are available irrespective of which options are enabled.
Page 19
MoTeC Overview 17
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Digital Inputs
The 4 digital inputs are identically to the switch inputs except that they include
the following additional measurement methods:
• Frequency: The frequency of the input signal is measured
• Period: The time between successive pulses is measured
• Pulse width: The low time of the pulse is measured
• Count: Counts the number of pulses
• Beacon: For connection of a lap beacon
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix D: Input Characteristics.
Speed Inputs
The 4 Speed Inputs are identical to the Digital Inputs except that they can
also be configured to suit Variable Reluctance (Magnetic) sensors such as
some wheel speed sensors. Because the amplitude of the signal from these
sensors varies with speed of rotation, variable trigger levels are required,
which must vary with the frequency of the input signal.
The Speed Inputs can also be used with Hall Effect type wheel speed
sensors.
• Note that Inputs 1 & 2 use common trigger thresholds and a common
pullup resistor switch, as do Inputs 3 & 4, therefore the same type of
sensors need to be used on each pair of inputs.
• Note also that the Pulse Width measurement method measures the high
time of the pulse rather than the low time as measured by the Digital
Inputs.
Page 20
18 Overview
Options
Note that the number of inputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See the Options Summary in the Appendices for details.
Specifications
For full specifications see the Appendices.
Internal Sensors
The ADL includes internal sensors for battery voltage and internal
temperature.
Electrical Specifications
See the Appendices for more detail on each type of input.
Auxiliary Outputs
The ADL has 8 Auxiliary Outputs which may be used to control various
vehicle functions such as: Gear Change Lights, Warning Lights, Thermatic
Fan, Gear Box Oil Pump, etc.
Items such as Thermatic Fans or Pump Control should be setup using the
User Conditions or the general purpose Tables, there is no specific setup item
for these types of devices.
The Auxiliary Outputs switch to ground and can drive up to 0.5 Amps.
Devices that consume more than 0.5 Amps such as motors should be driven
via a relay.
They Auxiliary Outputs can be configured for switched or pulsed control.
Options
Note that the number of outputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Specifications
For full specifications see Appendix E: Auxiliary Output Characteristics.
Page 21
MoTeC Overview 19
Communications Overview
The ADL has two communications ports which are used to communicate with
other devices.
RS232 Communications Port
The RS232 communications port can be connected to an ECU or similar
device and to a Radio Telemetry device. A M oTe C telemetry kit is available
which provides high quality data transmission and flexible data display.
• Note that when connected to both an ECU via RS232 and to a Telemetry
device, the baud rates of the two devices must be the same (usually 9600
or 19200 baud).
CAN Communications Port
The CAN (Control Area Network) communications port can be connected to
other devices with a compatible CAN port. The advantage of CAN is that
many devices can be connected to the CAN bus at once, which allows all
connected devices to communicate with each other, also the CAN port
communicates at very at high speed.
Other M oTe C products that use CAN for intercommunication include the
M800, BR2, PLM and MDD.
Note that these communicate at 1Mbit/sec, so any other devices connected
on the CAN bus must also communicate at 1Mbit/sec.
The CAN communications port is also used for all PC communications,
including configuration of the ADL and unloading the logged data.
ECU Connection
The ADL can be connected to most Engine Management Systems (ECUs).
This avoids duplication of sensors and allows the ADL to display and log
many ECU parameters.
The ECU may send up to 40 values to the ADL. The update rate of these
values depends on how many values are transmitted, the communications
baud rate and if sent using CAN or RS232. For RS232 the typical update rate
is about 20 times per second and for CAN it is about 50 times per second.
Note that logging the ECU values faster than these rates is unnecessary and
will reduce the total logging time.
Page 22
20 Overview
• Note that if the ADL is connected to a M oTe C M800 ECU the M800
sensors should be calibrated in metric otherwise special scaling will be
required.
Telemetry
The ADL can transmit real time and/or end of lap telemetry data. This allows
monitoring of the current vehicle condition, position on the track, lap times,
fuel remaining, laps remaining etc.
The real time telemetry data is transmitted continuously.
The end of lap telemetry data is transmitted at a specified time after the lap
beacon is detected
• Note that if RS232 ECU communications is used then the telemetry baud
rate must be the same as the ECU communications baud rate (normally
9600 or 19200 baud)
• Note that the Telemetry option is required.
Lap Beacon
A Lap Beacon can be connected to the ADL in order to record Lap Times for
display and to provide lap reference information for the data logging analysis
software.
The M oTe C Lap Beacon consists of a Transmitter which is mounted beside
the track and a Receiver which is mounted in the vehicle.
Multiple beacon transmitters may also be used to generate split times.
For further details refer to the Lap Beacon manual.
Options
Various options allow the ADL to be configured as a simple stand-alone dash
or to be upgraded to a sophisticated data logging, display and control system.
The options can be enabled at any time by entering a password.
Note that the ADL does not require a Software Update Unit (SUU) to enable
the options, as required by the M4 (pre M4e), M48 & M8 ECUs.
Page 23
MoTeC Overview 21
See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
Software
The ADL comes with software packages for managing the ADL, analysing the
logged data and monitoring the telemetry link.
The software must be run on an IBM compatible personal computer running
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
The following software programs are provided:
Dash Manager
Dash Manager is used for configuration, testing, retrieving the logged data
and for general management of the ADL.
An overview of Dash Manager is included latter in this manual. For detailed
information use the Dash Manager help system.
Interpreter
Interpreter is used to analyse the logged data.
Data Logging analysis is covered in a separate manual.
Telemetry Monitor
The Telemetry Monitor software is used to monitor the optional Telemetry link
and allows viewing of the telemetry data in various graphical formats such as
Charts, Bar Graphs and Dial Gauges. It can also show the vehicles current
track position on a track map and compare the current vehicle data to
reference data.
Alarms can also be set to indicate when a particular value, such as Engine
Temperature exceeds a user programmable limit.
BR2Config
This program is used to configure the BR2 beacon receiver via a CAN
connection. BR2 configuration is covered in the BR2 Manual.
Page 24
22 Overview
Field Updateable Control Software
The ADL control software (firmware) is field updatable so that new software
features can be used as they become available.
CAN Cable
The CAN Cable allows the computer to communicate with the ADL at high
speed.
The CAN Cable connects between the PC Printer Port (Parallel Port) and the
CAR cable, which is mounted in the vehicle and connects to the ADL.
Be sure that the CAN Cable is connected directly to the PC, do not use an
extension cable or switch box between the PC and the CAN Cable otherwise
incorrect operation may result.
Note that the PC parallel port must be a bidirectional type.
The CAN Cable contains electronics which is powered via the cable from the
ADL.
The CAN Cable can be extended by up to 12 meters. Note that a special 100
ohm data cable is required.

Installation
Mounting
Mounting Dimensions
Refer to the product dimensions in the Appendices.
Attachment
Use washers between the unit and the mounting panel to ensure that the unit
is mounted only at the mounting points (to avoid twisting the case). The ADL
has three threaded mounting posts, while the EDL has four mounting holes.
Do not over tighten the mounting screws (to avoid twisting the case).
Vibration isolation may be desirable if the vehicle vibrates severely.
ADL Orientation
For best contrast, the display should be viewed at approximately 20 degrees
above normal, however the ADL will give good contrast between 0 and 40
degrees. Display reflections should also be considered when determining the

Wiring
Pin Connection Details
The ADL pin connection list appears at the back of this manual.
Wire
Use 22# Tefzel wire (Mil Spec M22759/16-22) (5 amps max at 100 °C)
Note that the Tefzel wire is difficult to strip unless the correct stripping tool is
used. Be careful not to nick the wires as this may result in wire failure or poor
crimping.
Some sensor connectors may not be available with 22# terminals, in which
case doubling the wire over gives the equivalent of an 18# wire, which is
suitable for many of the common sensor terminals.
For full wire specifications see Appendix N: Wire Specifications.
Crimping
Ensure that the correct crimping tool is used for all contacts to ensure a
reliable connection.
Power
Power the ADL via a separate switch and a 5 Amp fuse. The separate switch
is recommended so that the computer can communicate with the ADL without
needing to turn the rest of the vehicle power on.
Ground
Ground the ADL to a good ground. The ground should have a direct
connection to the vehicle battery.

MoTeC Installation 25
Sensor Wiring
M oTe C can supply wiring details for all sensors.
MoTeC Supplied Wiring Loom
M oTe C can supply either partial or complete wiring looms to suit each
application.
Custom Wiring Loom
If creating a custom wiring loom the following important points should be
observed.
Connector
The ADL uses a 79 pin Auto Sport connector, see Appendix M: Connector for
full details.
To ensure that the connector is sealed plug unused holes with filler plugs. A
heat shrink boot may also be used if desired.
Crimp Tool
The correct mil spec crimping tool must be used for the ADL crimp pins. See
Appendix M: Connector for details.
• Note that the Crimp Contacts are type 22D which is needed to set the
crimp tool correctly.
CAN Bus and CAN Cable Wiring
Refer to Appendix G: CAN Wiring - Multiple Device and or Appendix H: CAN
Wiring - Single Device for details.
External Buttons
A number of external buttons are required for various functions of the ADL.
Typically these buttons are used for:
• Display Mode
Page 28
26 Installation
• Display Next Line (and optionally Previous Line)
• Alarm Acknowledge
• Lap Number Reset
• Fuel Remaining Reset
These buttons are normally wired to the ADL Switch Input pins, but may also
be wired to the Digital or Analog Inputs, if the Switch Inputs are occupied.
The buttons should be wired between an ADL input and ADL 0V pins.
Note that if wired to an Analog Voltage input an external pull-up resistor must
be connected between the input pin and the 5V sensor supply.
External Lights
All lights including the Shift Lights & Warning Lights must be wired externally.
This allows a choice of lights and allows the lights to be placed in the
optimum position.
Usually LEDs or LED arrays are used.
The lights must be wired between one of the Auxiliary Outputs and the ADL
Battery Positive.
The lights must not consume more than 0.5 Amps (6 watts at 12Volts) unless
activated via a relay.
Thermocouples
Thermocouples must be wired to the ADL via a thermocouple amplifier.
The M oTe C Thermocouple Amplifier (TCA) may be used with K Type
thermocouples and may be connected to either the Analog Voltage or Analog
Temperature inputs of the ADL.
Connecting to a MoTeC ECU
An ECU may be connected to the ADL which will make information in the
ECU available to the ADL for display or logging or any other purpose.
M oTe C M400/M600/M800/M880 ECUs may be connected via CAN or via
RS232.
Page 29
MoTeC Installation 27
The M oTe C M4, M48 & M8 ECUs must be connected via RS232.
Connection via RS232
The telemetry feature of the M oTe C ECU is used to send data to the ADL via
an RS232 connection.
See Appendix J: ECU to ADL Wiring (RS232) for wiring details.
ECU Setup
The ECU ‘Telemetry Set’ and ‘Telemetry Baud Rate’ should be selected to
suit an RS232 communications template supported by the ADL.
ADL Setup
Setup for the ADL is done in the ‘Inputs | Communications’ setup screen, on
the RS232 tab.
Select a communications template that matches the ECU type and ECU
telemetry set.
In the displayed channel list, check those channels that you wish to receive in
the ADL
Interruption of the Data
Note that the data flow to the ADL will be interrupted while a computer is
connected to the ECU and will not resume for up to 10 seconds after the
computer has been unplugged. During this period any value that comes from
the ECU, such as RPM or Engine Temperature will not be updated and will
normally be displayed as zero. On latter versions of the ECU software the 10
second delay is reduced to 1 second.
Connection via CAN
The ADL and ECU must be connected on the same CAN bus.
See Appendix G: CAN Wiring - Multiple Device for wiring details.
ECU Setup
Set the ‘CAN Data Set’ to a set supported by the ADL (normally set 1).
The ‘CAN Address’ must also be set. Normal value for ADL is 1520. This is a
decimal value that corresponds to a hexadecimal value of 0x5F0 in the ADL.
Page 30
28 Installation
ADL Setup
Setup for the ADL is done in the ‘Inputs | Communications’ setup screen, on
an unused CAN tab.
Select a communications template that matches the ECU type and ECU set.
In the displayed channel list, check those channels that you wish to receive in
the ADL.
ECU Sensor Calibrations
Metric Calibration of the sensors should be used in the ECU otherwise special
scaling is required in the ADL communications setup.
Telemetry
The ADL can transmit telemetry information via a radio link.
• Note that if RS232 ECU communications is used then the telemetry baud
rate must be the same as the ECU communications baud rate (normally
9600 or 19200 baud)
Wiring
Wiring is dependent on the particular telemetry system, please consult the
wiring details supplied with the telemetry system.
ADL Setup
Set the RS232 communications for Telemetry Only, or ECU and Telemetry.
The telemetry channels should then be configured in the separate Telemetry
Setup screen, found under the ‘Functions’ menu.

Dash Manager Software
Introduction
The following is an overview of the main concepts of the Dash Manager
software. More detailed information is available from the online help provided
with Dash Manager. Online help is accessed by clicking on the help buttons
that appear on most Dash Manager screens and by selecting Help from the
main menu.
Note that the EDL uses the same configuration software as the ADL and is
accessed and operated in the same way.
The Dash Manager software is used for:
• Editing the configuration files
• Sending configuration files to the ADL
• Retrieving the logged data from the ADL
• Testing the ADL
• Enabling ADL options
• Upgrading the ADL software version
• Changing event, venue and vehicle details
Computer Requirements
The Personal Computer (PC) must be an IBM PC compatible running
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP.
Recommended Minimum Specifications
Pentium II, 32Mb RAM, Parallel Port (for CAN Cable)
Printer Port (Parallel Port)
The CAN Cable connects to the PC parallel port.
Page 32
30 Dash Manager Software
The parallel port must be either an 8 bit bidirectional port or an ECP parallel
port. Single directional parallel ports will not work, these are found on some
older computers and some plug in cards.
Installing Dash Manager
From a CD-ROM
Place the CD-ROM into the CD drive of the pc.
A new window will appear. This can be navigated in the same way as a web
page.
If it does not appear, click on the Windows Start button and select Run. Type
‘D:\Iindex.htm’
Click on the button marked ‘Software Archive’.
Select the version of Dash Manager (or other software) that you wish to install
and click on the name.
When the dialog appears asking you to ‘Open’ or ‘Save’ the selected file,
choose ‘Open’ and then follow the setup program instructions.
From the Internet
Go to the MoTeC web site at www.motec.com.au and select Software
Updates | Current Release Software. Click on one of the Dash Manager links
to start the down load and choose to save the file to a location where it can be
easily located after downloading (such as the desktop). After downloading
double click on the file to start the installation process.
Mouse & Keyboard
The Dash Manager Software may be operated using the keyboard or a
mouse.
On many Notebook PCs the pointing device (mouse substitute) is difficult to
use and in many cases it is much easier and faster to use the keyboard. For
details on using the keyboard refer to the topic on Windows Keyboard Use
latter in this manual.
Page 33
MoTeC Dash Manager Software 31
Main Menu
The main menu is used to access all of the features of the Dash Manager
software. Click the mouse on one of the menu items or press the Alt key
together with the underlined letter, for example press Alt + F to select the File
menu.
Unavailable Menu Items
When Dash Manager is started the items related to changing the
configuration will be unavailable, this is because a configuration file has not
been selected.
Unavailable items appear grey as shown below.
Button Bar (Toolbar)
The Button Bar provides an alternative way of activating some of the
commonly used items on the main menu. To find out what each item does
hold the mouse pointer over the button of interest until a hint appears.
Page 34
32 Dash Manager Software
On line / Off line
All changes to the ADL configuration are performed ‘Off Line’, ie without the
PC communicating with the ADL. Once the configuration changes have been
made and saved to a file, they can be sent to the ADL which is an ‘On line’
process, ie the PC is communicating with the ADL.
Many other functions are also performed ‘On line’, for example, Get Logged
Data, Zero Sensors, Monitor Active channels etc.
To consolidate the Online concept, all on line activities are placed in the
‘Online’ Menu item. All other menu items perform Off Line activities.
Configuration
The configuration of the ADL determines exactly how it operates.
The strength of the ADL lies in its flexibility of configuration. All aspects of the
ADL can be configured including, which sensor is connected to which input,
the calibration of each sensor, what to display and where to display it, what to
log and how fast to log it, tacho range, warning alarms, multi stage shift lights,
etc, etc.
Configuration Files
The ADL configurations are stored in files on the PC hard disk and can be
sent to the ADL at any time.
When changing the configuration, changes are only made to the file on the
PC. The file must be sent to the ADL before the changes take affect.
Creating a New Configuration File
A new configuration file can be created by selecting File | New from the main
menu, this will create a new configuration based on one of a number of
predefined templates.
If using a M oTe C supplied wiring kit there will be a template supplied to suit
that kit. In general this template should be ready to use other than vehicle
dependent calibrations such as wheel speed. Items such as the Alarms and
Display setup should also be checked and modified if necessary to suit the
application.
Page 35
MoTeC Dash Manager Software 33
After a new configuration has been defined, it should be saved with a
meaningful name by selecting File | Save from the main menu, the file may
then be sent to the ADL by selecting Online | Send Configuration from the
main menu.
Alternatively a new file can be created by loading an existing configuration file
and saving it to a new file by selecting File | Save As from the main menu.
Opening an Existing File
Before an existing configuration file can be modified or sent to the ADL it must
first be opened.
To open a configuration file select File | Open from the main menu and select
the desired file.
Note that the most recently used files appear at the bottom of the File menu,
which is often the easiest way to open a recently used file.
Sending the Configuration to the ADL
The currently open configuration file can be sent to the ADL by selecting
Online | Send Configuration from the main menu.
When a configuration file is sent to the ADL any changes are automatically
saved to the file.
Retrieving the Configuration from the ADL
The configuration can be retrieved from the ADL if necessary by selecting
Online | Get Configuration from the ‘Online’ menu. However this is not
normally necessary unless the original file is not available on the PC.
Backups
Whenever a file is saved, the previous contents of the file are saved in the
‘Save Backups’ directory. The total number of files is limited to 100.
When a file is sent to the ADL the existing ADL data is retrieved and stored in
the ‘From Dash Backups’ directory, this is in case the data in the ADL needs
to be restored. The total number of files is limited to 10.
File Management
The configuration files may be Renamed, Deleted, sent to a Floppy Disk etc
by clicking the right mouse button on the desired file when the Open File
screen is displayed.
Page 36
34 Dash Manager Software
Changing the Configuration
Once an existing configuration file has been opened, or a new one created
the various parts of the configuration may be modified by choosing the
appropriate items from the main menu. The configuration setup items are
accessed from the main menu items: Inputs, Calculations and Functions.
Setup Details
For details on each of the Dash Manager setup screens click on the Help
button that is provided on each screen.
Configuration Sequence
The configuration is best setup in the following order:
1. Inputs (Input Pins & Communications)
2. Calculations (Lap Time, Fuel Prediction etc)
3. Functions (Logging, Display, Alarms, Auxiliary Outputs etc)
This simplifies the setup procedure by ensuring that the required channels are
available for the functions that use them.
• Note that channels cannot be used until they have been generated by an
input, calculation or function.
Versions and Updating
Updating
The software inside the ADL can be updated by the user at any time to take
advantage of the latest features offered by M oTe C .
To update the ADL software version select Online | Update Version from the
Dash Manager main menu.
Matching Versions
The version of software inside the ADL must match the version of the Dash
Manager software. If the versions do not match, Dash Manager will show a
warning when it attempts to communicate with the ADL.
Page 37
MoTeC Dash Manager Software 35
To check the version of Dash Manager select Help | About M oTe C Dash
Manager from the main menu.
Configuration File Version
After the ADL version has been upgraded the configuration file in the ADL
must also be updated to match the new version. The display will show a
warning until a new configuration has been sent to the ADL.
From Dash Manager version 3.0 onwards, there is an option to automatically
upgrade the configuration file in the ADL when performing an upgrade.
This eliminates the necessity to manually upgrade the file (see Converting
Older Version Files) and then sending it.
Converting Older Version Configuration Files
An older version configuration file can be converted to the latest version by
selecting the appropriate version in the ‘File of type’ entry box on the File
Open screen. When the file is opened the file is converted to the new version
format and saved with the same file name but with the new version file
extension. The old file is not changed.

Channels
Channels are used to convey information between the various systems of the
ADL. For example an input pin may feed a channel called ‘Engine
Temperature’, this channel may then be used by any other system, such as
the Display or Data Logging systems.

MoTeC Dash Manager Software 37
Channel List
M oTe C has defined an extensive list of channels. All systems within the ADL
that generate values must choose to feed one of these channels.
General Purpose Channels
Since the use of all channels can not be predetermined, a number of general
purpose channels have been included for occasions when a suitable
predefined channel is not available.
These channels may be required when measuring an uncommon value, or
when a general purpose function needs to generate a special output channel,
for example a 3D table may generate an output channel to control a valve of
some sort, in which case a general purpose channel may be used and
renamed appropriately.
Channel Usage
The ADL channel scheme allows complete flexibility in channel usage, as any
available channel can be used by any other function, i.e. any channel can be
logged, displayed, used in conditions, used in alarms, used as an input to the
user definable tables, etc.
Channel Properties
For each channel the following properties have been defined, some of which
may be modified by the user.
Properties that may be modified by the user:
• Name
• Abbreviation
• Units (eg. Celsius, Fahrenheit etc)
Fixed Details
• Measurement Type (Temperature etc)
• Resolution (eg. 0.1 °C for Engine Temperature)
• Suitable Logging rates
• Suitable Display filtering
• Minimum and Max Range
Page 40
38 Dash Manager Software
Predefining these properties makes the channels easy to use throughout the
rest of the software, for example knowing the measurement type allows the
channels to be displayed in any units suitable for that type, with automatic
conversion between the units. For example all temperature channels can be
displayed in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin.
Channel Names & Abbreviations
The channels names may be changed if necessary. However name changes
should be limited to name preferences rather than redefining the purpose of
the channel, except for the general purpose channels which may be renamed
to suit the current use.
Channel Units
The units for a channel can be selected from a predefined list, for example
the Engine Temperature channel may have units of Celsius, Fahrenheit or
Kelvin. Conversion between units is automatically handled by the software.
Note that the units are used for display purposes only. This means that the
units can be changed at any time with out affecting the calibration of the
channel.
Channel Resolution
The resolution of all channels is fixed, for example the resolution of the
Engine Temperature channel is fixed at 0.1 °C.
Fixed channel resolutions ensure that the unit conversion system works
properly and that channel comparisons can be performed correctly.
Selecting Channels
There are two methods of selecting channels, either the Category Method or
the Search Method.
Category Method
This method divides all the channels into categories and sub categories, so
that the list can be narrowed down to a small list of channels. For example,
the ‘Engine Sensors / Cooling’ category shows a list of channels associated
with the cooling system of the engine.
When selecting a channel from the complete list of channels, it is usually
easiest to use the category selection method, for example when assigning a
channel to an input pin.
Page 41
MoTeC Dash Manager Software 39
To expand a category click on the + sign next to the category name.
Page 42
40 Dash Manager Software
Search Method
This method lists all channels in alphabetical order and allows a channel to be
found either by typing the first few letters of any word in the channel name, or
by scrolling through the list.
Note that the words may be typed out of order so that ‘Engine Oil
Temperature’ could be found by typing "temp eng oil" or "oil t eng" or "e o t”
This method is most useful when selecting a channel from the available
channels. For example, if ‘Engine Temperature’ has been assigned to an
input pin, it can be easily located in the Search list, since this list normally only
contains 50 to 100 items.
Conditions Overview
Conditions are used extensively throughout the software to define a true /
false condition based on comparing one or more channels to a value. Most
conditions can perform up to 6 comparisons.
Conditions are used to define features such as when to start logging, or when
to activate an alarm.
For example an Engine Oil Pressure alarm may read as: Activate the alarm
when: Engine Oil Pressure < 200 kPa for 1 second AND Engine RPM > 1500
Page 43
MoTeC Dash Manager Software 41
RPM for 2 seconds. Note that this condition could also include a test for when
the engine is greater than 500 RPM but set at a lower pressure, which would
cover the range from 500 to 1500 RPM, which might read as: Engine Oil
Pressure < 50 kPa for 1 second AND Engine RPM > 500 RPM for 5 seconds.
In the case of alarms, the condition can also contain an increment or
decrement amount, which may increase or decrease the test value by a
certain amount each time the alarm is acknowledged. The number of times
this value is incremented can also be limited.
The following shows an example of an Engine Oil Pressure alarm condition.
Checking Operation
Monitor Channels
The currently active channels can be monitored to allow checking of the
operation of all functions and measurements.
To monitor the active channels select Online | Monitor Channels from the
main menu.
Oscilloscope Screen
Any channel may also be shown on an oscilloscope style screen by pressing
the Utilities | Oscilloscope button on the Monitor Channels screen.
Simulate
The Simulate feature allows most input channels to be manually changed so
that the ADL operation can be checked under abnormal conditions, eg High
Engine Temp.
This is extremely useful for checking that the ADL is working as expected.
To activate the Simulate screen select Online | Simulate from the main menu.
Page 44
42 Dash Manager Software
Tests
A number of tests are provided to check the operation of the ADL, such as the
Display Test.
To run one of the tests select the appropriate test from the Online menu.
Sensor Zeroing
Some sensors require regular zeroing, for example Steering Angle,
Suspension Position, Ride Heights, G Force Sensors & Throttle Position.
Dash Manager provides a screen to allow easy zeroing of all these sensors.
To zero the sensors select Online | Zero Sensors form the main menu.
Details Editor
The Details Editor allows details about the Event, Venue, & Vehicle to be
entered.
This data is attached to the logged data file for latter reference.
Some of this data is also attached to the configuration to determine the
operation of some functions, for example, the Track Length is used to
determine Lap Speed, if used.

Appendix F: CAN Bus Specification
CAN Bus
Data Rate: 1Mbit/sec
Terminating impedance and data cable impedance: 100 ohms: dictated by the
PC communications cable (CAN cable)
Maximum length: 16 m including the CAN Cable.
Page 63
MoTeC Appendices 61
Appendix G: CAN Wiring - Multiple Device
The CAN bus should consist of a twisted pair trunk with 100R (0.25Watt)
terminating resistors at each end of the trunk.
The preferred cable for the trunk is 100R Data Cable but twisted 22# Tefzel is
usually OK.
The maximum length of the bus is 16m (50ft) including the MoTeC CAN
Cable (PC to CAN Bus Communications Cable)
CAN Devices (such as MoTeC ADL, BR2 etc) may be connected to the trunk
with up to 500mm (20in) of twisted wire.
The connector for the CAN Communications Cable may also be connected to
the trunk with up to 500mm (20in) of twisted wire and should be within
500mm of one end of the trunk. If desired two CAN Cable connectors may be
used so that the MoTeC CAN Cable may be connected to either side of the
vehicle. Both connectors must be within 500mm of each end of the trunk.

Appendix H: CAN Wiring - Single Device
When a single device is connected to the CAN bus then the wiring scheme
shown below may be used to provide a connection point for the M oTe C CAN
cable.
If the wiring length is less than 2m (7ft) then the terminating resistor is
recommended but not essential.
If other devices are connected to the CAN bus a special wiring scheme is
required, see Appendix G: CAN Wiring - Multiple Device.

Appendix J: ECU to ADL Wiring (RS232)
The following details the methods for connecting the various M oTe C ECUs to
the ADL via RS232. In all cases this is done using the serial data stream
generated by the Telemetry function of each ECU.
In the case of the M800, M880 and M4e the ADL may be directly wired to the
ECU because these ECU’s use RS232 interface levels. On the M48, M4 (pre
M4e) and the M8 a Computer Interface Module (CIM) or a PCI cable is
required to convert the signals to RS232.
