52 ECU Manager Software MoTeC
Matching Versions
The version of ECU Manager and the version of the firmware in the ECU
must match in order to be able to communicate with each other.
To communicate with an ECU that has older firmware in it, either the matching
ECU Manager software must be used or the ECU firmware must be upgraded
to match the version of ECU Manager on the PC.
Upgrading the ECU
To upgrade the ECU firmware select Upgrade ECU Version from the
Utilities menu. This will send the new firmware to the ECU and automatically
convert the calibration data in the ECU to ensure it is compatible with the new
firmware.
Calibration File Versions
The calibration files that are stored on the PC must also match the version of
software being used.
To ensure that older version calibration files are not rendered useless, the
older version calibration files may be converted in order to be used with the
new version of the software. To convert older files select Convert from the
File menu.
Minor Version Updates
Minor version updates do not require the calibration data to be converted but
still require the firmware to be sent to the ECU by selecting Upgrade ECU
Version from the Utilities menu.
Minor updates usually contain bug fixes or minor enhancements.
A minor update is one where the number before the decimal point and
immediately after do not change, for example 1.00A, 1.00C, 1.01A are all
minor updates of version 1.0.
Software Version Release Notes
The changes between the various software versions may be viewed by
selecting Release Notes from the Help menu.
