MoTeC M84 - Manual (Page 14)

12 Software MoTeC
The main software required is the ECU Manager software, if Data Analysis is
required then the i2 software should also be installed.
The software can be downloaded from the MoTeC website at
www.motec.com.au . It is available on the MoTeC Resource CD.
MoTeC is continually updating the software and newer versions may be
downloaded from the website at no charge.
To install the software after downloading from the web, double click on the
downloaded file and follow the instructions.
Note that a separate folder (directory) is automatically created for each
version of the software. Old versions are kept so that they may be used if
necessary.
• Do not change the MoTeC directory structure or move the software to a
different directory, otherwise the software will not operate correctly.
Starting the Software
To start the MoTeC Software double click the appropriate icon on the desktop
or select the appropriate program from the Start menu. For example: Start /
Programs / MoTeC / M84 / ECU Manager 1.0
ECU Manager Software
The ECU Manager software is covered in more detail later in this manual.
Data Logging
Data Logging allows the ECU operational data to be recorded in a memory
chip inside the ECU. The data may then be extracted for analysis on a PC.
Data logging is extremely useful for checking mixture readings, sensor
readings, diagnostics errors and other operating information.
The items to be logged and the logging rates must be setup using the MoTeC
ECU Manager software. This is done in the Data Logging Setup screens.
The ECU will remember the logged data even if the ECU power is turned off.
• If the logging memory becomes full, the oldest data is overwritten so that
the most recent data is always available.
