20 Overview

• Note that if the ADL is connected to a MoTeC 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 MoTeC 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.
