MXG
MXG also has 8 different alarm LEDs that
you can configure in order to turn them on
or off depending on the value of the analog
or digital inputs, ECU values, expansion
values, GPS information or math channels.
You can associate an alarm LED, a message
and a digital output with every event.
The steps to manage the data coming from
the ECU are the following:
1. Determine which hardware connection
is available for your ECU.
2. Read the documentation about your ECU
at www.aim-sportline.com and identify the
name of the proper software driver to be
specified.
3. Using Race Studio 3, configure MXG
setting that software driver with the menu
shown here down, that appears when you
create a new configuration.
The ECU to be selected has to be declared.
When using the configuration software
RaceStudio3, you create a new
configuration of your MXG.
The steps are explained in section 10.1.
5. ECU connection
MXG can acquire data from the ECU of your
vehicle.
The list of the ECU protocols available is
published on our site:
http://www.aim-sportline.com/eng/dow-
nload/ecu-connections.htm
This list includes approximately 700
different protocols and is constantly
updated with new protocols and upgrades
published every week.
When possible, documents explaining how
to configure your ECU to ensure
compatibility between the data flow
transmitted are available, too.
From the hardware point of view, MXG is
compatible with all currently available
connections: CAN, RS232 or line K.
value at which to turn it on and the colour.
You can also define different RPM values
per every gear number.
You can configure them in order to turn them
off when the condition disappears, when you
push a pushbutton, when the test is finished
or when the data are downloaded after the
test.
Please, read section 10.1.4 in order to see how
to manage gear flashes and alarm LEDs.
