Engine Shut Down (Sec.). When going from Running to Shut Down, this setting adjusts the length of time that
the DGC-500 stays disconnected from the ECU before starting the first pulse. The Engine Shut Down setting
range is 1 to 60 seconds.

Setting Time (Millisec.). This setting adjusts the time to gather data after connecting to the ECU during the
Pulsing state. This allows all metered values to be sent and ramp up. Metered values are sent by the ECU
at different rates as designated by the J1939 protocol. Values sent by the ECU may be low initially; the ECU
takes time to average its own data. The Setting Time setting range is 5,500 to 30,000 milliseconds.

Pulse Cycle Time (Min.). This setting adjusts the time that the DGC-500 waits to pulse the ECU again. The
Pulse Cycle Time setting range is 1 to 60 minutes.

Response Timeout (Sec.). This setting controls the time that communication is attempted with the ECU while
the DGC-500 is in the Pulsing or Connecting state. The Response Timeout setting range is 1 to 60 seconds.

PASSWORD PROTECTION

Password protection guards against unauthorized changing of DGC-500 settings. DGC-500 passwords are
case-sensitive. Three levels of password protection are available. Each level is described in the following
paragraphs.

C

Limited Access. This password level allows all DGC-500 settings to be read, but prevents any changes
to settings. The default, limited-access password is DGC.

C

Full Access. This password level allows all DGC-500 settings to be read and allows all settings except
Engine Runtime to be changed. The default, full-access password is DGC500.

C

OEM Access. This password allows all DGC-500 settings to be read and allows all settings to be
changed. It also allows the DGC-500 embedded firmware to be upgraded. The default, OEM-access

password is OEMLVL.

Changing Passwords

Passwords can be changed only after communication between the
PC and DGC-500 is established. Changes to passwords are made
through the Change Password dialog box. To access the Change
Password dialog box, click Communications on the menu bar and
click Change Password.

The content of the Change Password dialog box depends on the
password level used when accessing the dialog box. For example,
someone logged-in with a full-access password will be able to
change only the limited-access and full-access passwords—not the
OEM-access password. Figure 4-22 shows the Change Password
dialog box with all three access levels shown.

A password is changed by selecting the access level, entering the
new password, and then re-entering the new password to confirm
the entry.
