20 Installation MoTeC Installation This section provides information on how to install the Display Logger in the vehicle and connect it to other devices. It will also provide information on how to install the software. Mounting and Wiring The Display Logger has three threaded mounting posts. For further details see Mounting Dimensions.
MoTeC • • • • • Installation 21 Some sensor connectors may not be available with 22# terminals, in which case doubling the wire over gives the equivalent of an 18# wire. This is suitable for many of the common sensor terminals. Use the correct crimping tool for all contacts to ensure a reliable connection. Power the Display Logger via a separate switch and a 5 ampere fuse, to ensure the PC can communicate with the Display Logger without the need to power the rest of the vehicle.
22 Installation MoTeC o Signal conditioned three-wire pressure sensors o Thermocouple amplifiers o Accelerometers These inputs can also be used to measure two-wire variable resistance sensors if an external pull-up resistor is connected from the input to the 5 V sensor supply. Additionally, on/off switch signals may be connected, which may also require an external pull-up resistor.
MoTeC Installation 23 Speed Inputs Speed Inputs are identical to 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 changes 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.
24 Installation MoTeC Communications Communications are used to send and receive data from one device to another. There are two communication protocols: RS232 and CAN. Generally older devices use RS232 and newer devices use CAN. CAN (Controller Area Network) Communications This protocol enables communication between all devices connected to the same bus. The CAN bus allows for communicating at high speeds.
MoTeC Installation 25 Connecting Devices Examples Device Connect via Remarks Sensors Inputs: The appropriate input type depends on the sensor type MoTeC supplies datasheets with wiring details for all sensors via the website External Buttons for: Inputs: - Display mode Digital or Speed inputs - Display next line (and optional previous line) - Alarm acknowledge - Lap number reset Wire between Display Logger input and Display Logger 0 V.
26 Installation MoTeC Software Installation This section provides information on Dash Manager software, and i2 Data Analysis software. It will also explain how to connect the Display Logger to the PC.
MoTeC Installation 27 Updating C125 Dash Manager Software Software updates are available free of charge, giving access to the latest features. Download the latest software version from the website and follow the software installation instructions to update to the new version. To update the associated firmware in the device, select Upgrade Dash Version from the Online menu. See Configuration Versions and Updating.
28 Installation MoTeC If the Device is 'discovered' without the anti-virus software, you can turn it back on and put in appropriate exceptions to allow the Display Logger Manager to communicate with the device. Only one connection can be active at a time. To switch to a different Display Logger, click Make Active.
MoTeC Configuration 29 Configuration All aspects of the Display Logger 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. The configuration is stored in a file on the PC. When starting Dash Manager software, the menu items related to changing the configuration are unavailable.

MoTeC Configuration These general purpose 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 named appropriately.
32 Configuration MoTeC Channel Properties Each channel has defined properties, some of which may be modified by the user. Predefining these properties makes the channels easy to use throughout the rest of the software. • Properties that may be modified by the user o Name The channel names (and abbreviations) may be changed if necessary.
MoTeC Configuration 33 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.
34 Configuration MoTeC 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: The words may be typed out of order so that ‘Engine Oil Temp’ 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.

36 Configuration MoTeC Updating C125 Dash Manager Software on how to update to a new software version to make the latest communication templates available. Calculations The Display Logger has special and user definable general purpose calculations available. They are set up from the Calculations menu.
MoTeC Configuration 37 Functions Data Logging (optional) Data logging allows sensor readings and calculated values to be stored in the Display Logger's memory for later analysis using the i2 Data Analysis software.
38 Configuration MoTeC Logging Setup Files The logging list can be saved and loaded from a file. This allows multiple logging setups to be used. Logging Rate The logging rate sets how often each channel is logged and can be set individually for each channel. The rate at which the values are logged must be fast enough to record all variations in the reading. If the value is logged too slowly, the readings can be totally meaningless.
MoTeC Configuration 39 The anti-alias filter is implemented by averaging the channel values between logging events. For example, if a channel has an update rate of 1000 Hz and it is logged at 100 Hz then the preceding 10 samples will be averaged each time it is logged. The anti-alias filter is normally turned on by default when a channel is added to the logging list, but may be turned off if required. For normal purposes it is recommended that the anti-alias filter is left turned on.
40 Configuration MoTeC Track Map For the i2 Data Analysis software to plot a track map, either a GPS should be connected or a number of separate sensors that will provide the required information. Track Map using GPS Ensure GPS Latitude and GPS Longitude are logged.
MoTeC Configuration 41 Display The C125 display is a high contrast, high brightness colour LCD display. The displayed channels and labels are configured on a display style that can be chosen from a list of predefined styles. Alternatively, a custom display may be created using the separately purchased Display Creator software. See Display Creator DBC file setup. To configure the display 1. On the Functions menu, click Display 2. Select the tab for the required mode (RACE, PRACTICE, WARMUP). 3.
42 Configuration MoTeC Display Modes (Pages) The display has three display modes; the default names are RACE, PRACTICE and WARMUP. The mode is changed by pressing the button assigned to this function. The mode names can be changed to suit your individual needs; this is done by double-clicking on the Page Label field. RACE Page The Race display is normally used to display minimal information, e.g. RPM, Lap Time, Fuel Remaining or Laps Remaining.
MoTeC Configuration Dial or Bar Graph (depending on style chosen) Example dial Example sweep bar Example linear bar The dial or bar graph has a user definable range and is typically used as a tacho, however it can be used to display any other value. A fully programmable shift point can be displayed, which can also be gear dependent.
44 Configuration MoTeC Top Displays The three numeric displays shown above can be programmed to display any channel value. The numeric displays can show any channel value plus up to two override values. Override values display each time their value is updated. This is useful for values that are updated periodically. The override values are shown for a programmable period of time.
MoTeC Configuration Centre Display The centre display is normally used to display the current gear but can be used for other purposes.
46 Configuration MoTeC At the bottom, up to 20 lines can be accommodated, with each line containing up to 3 channel values at a time. The label above each value can be changed to suit the channel assigned. The 20 lines can be scrolled up or down using external buttons. Similar to the top numeric displays, the bottom display can show up to four override values. Four Line Style Where the four line style is chosen, it shows four lines of values at a time, with up to three values per line.
MoTeC Configuration 47 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.
48 Configuration MoTeC Display Creator Settings tab This tab is used to define page display behaviour. Note: The channels selected on this tab must also be included in the Display Creator Channels list for them to be included in the DBC file for import to Display Creator. Number of Pages Specifies the number of pages defined in the applicable Display Creator configuration.
MoTeC Operation 49 Operation When operating the C125, any of the activities of the Online menu of the Display Logger Manager software can be performed. This requires the PC to communicate to the Display Logger. Note: All other menu items perform offline activities. Retrieving the Logged Data • On the Online menu, click Get Logged Data A PC is used to unload the logged data from the Display Logger. The logged data is then stored on the computer's hard disk.
50 Operation MoTeC Checking Operation Monitor Channels The currently active channels can be monitored to check the operation of all functions and measurements. • On the Online menu, click Monitor Channels • To show any channel on an oscilloscope style screen, click Utilities and then Oscilloscope Simulate The Simulate feature allows most input channels to be manually changed so that the Display Logger operation can be checked under abnormal conditions, e.g. High Engine Temp.
MoTeC Operation 51 Configuration files can be updated by choosing the option to automatically update the configuration file while updating the software (firmware). It can also be done manually by upgrading the configuration file and sending it to the Display Logger: • On the File menu, click Open • In the Files of type box select the new version file extension. The file will be converted to the new version format and saved with the same file name but with the new version file extension.

68 Appendices MoTeC CAN Bus Wiring Requirements • The CAN bus should consist of a twisted pair trunk with 100R (0.25 watt) terminating resistors at each end. o If the CAN bus is less than 2 metres (7 ft) long, a single termination resistor may be used. • The preferred cable for the trunk is 100R data cable. • The maximum length of the bus is 16 metres (50 ft) • CAN devices (such as MoTeC Display Loggers, ECUs etc.) may be connected to the trunk with up to 500 mm (20 in) of twisted wire.
MoTeC Appendices 69 C125 Display Logger to ECU wiring (RS232) The following details the methods for connecting the Data Logger to various MoTeC ECUs 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 Data Logger may be directly wired to the ECU because these ECUs use RS232 interface levels.
