Overview
ADL2 New Features
The ADL2 replaces the original ADL and includes the following new features.
USB Communications
This allows the ADL to be connected directly to the PCs USB port rather than
requiring the MoTeC CAN Cable which connects to the PCs printer port.
The USB cable may be used for all communications to the ADL.
USB provides much faster logging downloads than the CAN Cable
(approximately 8 times faster)
If desired a MoTeC CAN Cable may be used instead of a USB cable but this
will result in slower communications and requires a PC with a printer port.
16M Log Memory
The ADL2 comes with 16Mbytes of memory with 8Mbytes enabled as
standard.
More Inputs as Standard
30 I/O is standard (50 I/O Optional). See Appendix B: Options Summary for
details.
Higher Resolution Inputs
Eight of the Analog voltage inputs (AV1 to 4 & AV 11 to 14) have higher
resolution which is particularly useful for measuring suspension position.
Note that these inputs have a reduced voltage range of 0 to 5.5V (previously
0 to 15V)
Dual Expanders
The ADL2 supports two E888 or E816 expanders allowing significant
expansion of the number of inputs and outputs.
