MoTeC MDD - Manual (Page 3)

MoTeC Introduction 1
Introduction
The MoTeC MDD is a small satellite display for use with the MoTeC Advanced
Dash Logger (ADL) or a MoTeC ECU.
The MDD is small enough to mount on the vehicle steering wheel or it may be
mounted in a more conventional position.
When used with an ADL it is normally used with a “Blind” ADL (an ADL with no
display).
The MDD receives data from the ADL or M800 via CAN (Controller Area
Network). It can also receive data from an M4, M48 or M8 ECU via a serial
link.
Display
The display is a dot matrix backlit graphics LCD which allows the MDD to
support a number of different display layouts to suit varied applications and
make best use of the limited display area.
Backlight Brightness
The LCD backlight brightness may be remotely adjusted when the MDD is
used with an ADL. See the ADL Operation section for further details.
The brightness is not adjustable when used with an ECU.
Contrast
The display contrast is adjusted at manufacture and does not normally need to
be changed.
Mounting
The MDD should be mounted using double sided adhesive tape or a rear
panel fitted with mounting holes may be used.
