20 Overview
Note that the number of outputs that are available depends on which options
are enabled. See Appendix B: Options Summary for details.
For full specifications see Appendix E: Auxiliary Output Characteristics.
Expander Outputs
Up to two E888 or E816 expanders may be connected to the ADL2. Each
expander has 8 outputs are available.
The expander outputs can perform all the same functions as the ADL2
outputs.
Expander Communications Setup
Note that the “Expander Outputs ” CAN communications template must
be selected in the Communications Setup screen before the ADL2 will
send data to the E888 or E816.
Communications Overview
The ADL2 has various communications ports which are used to communicate
with other devices.
USB Communications Port
The USB communications port is used to communicate with a PC. See
Appendix J: USB Wiring for wiring details.
RS232 Communications Port
The RS232 communications port can be connected to an ECU or similar
device and to a Radio Telemetry device. A MoTeC 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
