5.Select a spare CAN channel.
6.Select 'DASH2PRO' from the Mode drop-down menu.
7.Set the CAN ID to match the CAN ID the dash uses. This ID and the three following it must not be used by any other device on the bus (eg if you select ID 1000, then the stream will use 1000, 1001, 1002 and 1003). Note the default Link configuration for the Race Technology Dash2Pro uses CAN ID 1000. This can be changed in the display configurations if required.
8.The Transmit Rate for this stream is fixed to 20Hz and is not adjustable.
9.Click Apply and then OK.
10.Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.

Customising the Dash2Pro
As both the Link G4X ECU and Dash2Pro have fully customisable CAN configurations it is possible to transmit almost any parameter to the display, likewise it is also possible to receive information from the display. Configuring additional CAN parameters requires an advanced understanding of the CAN bus. Additional CAN parameters can be sent along side the data stream in this section by selecting another CAN channel in the ECU, choosing a new CAN ID, selecting what to transmit (by making a CAN stream or selecting an existing one). At the display end it is necessary to configure the matching CAN ID to be received and decoded. Refer to the CAN section of this help for configuring the ECU. Refer to Race Technology documentation for help configuring the display.

KMS EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature)
Setting up the Link ECU:
1.Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup).
2.Select the CAN module to be used.
3.Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.
4.Configure the Bit Rate to 1 Mbit/s
5.Select a spare CAN channel.
6.Select 'Receive KMS EGT CAN' from the Mode drop-down menu.
7.Set the CAN ID to 49.
8.Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN ID as the KMS EGT CAN channel.
9.Click Apply and then OK.
10.Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.
Setting up the KMS EGT:
1.Refer to manufacturers instructions.
The KMS EGT is capable of transmitting data from four EGT sensors. Data will come through to the Link G4X ECU as CAN TC Cyl 1 to 4. CAN TC Channels can be used as table axis and are also able to be logged.
KMS UEGO (Univeral Exhaust Gas Oxygen)
Setting up the Link ECU:
1.Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup).
2.Select the CAN module to be used.
3.Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.
4.Configure the Bit Rate to 1 Mbit/s
5.Select a spare CAN channel.
6.Select 'Receive KMS UEGO CAN' from the Mode drop-down menu.
7.Set the CAN ID to 32.
8.Make sure no other CAN channels are configured on the same CAN ID as the KMS UEGO CAN channel.
9.Click Apply and then OK.
10. Set Lambda 1 Input to "Link CAN"
11.Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.
Setting up the KMS UEGO:
1.Refer to manufacturers instructions.
The KMS UEGO data will come through to the Link G4X ECU as Lambda 1, make sure you have set Lambda 1 to "Link CAN".
Link CAN Lambda modules allow up to eight wideband oxygen sensors to be measured, displayed and logged. A separate module is required for each oxygen sensor. The modules must be told which sensor they are connected to (eg cyl 1, cyl 2 etc...) so that they can be identified on the CAN bus. All Link CAN-Lambda modules are shipped pre-configured for a single installation. If only one sensor is being used the module requires no configuration.
Setting up the Link CAN-Lambda modules where multiple modules are used:
1.Remove all Link CAN Lambda modules from the bus except the first one (cylinder 1, bank 1 etc...). It is recommended to power all devices on the CAN bus down when connecting and disconnecting devices.
2.Note that Link CAN-Lambda modules are set to 1 MBit/s bit rate by default. All devices on the bus must be running the same bit rate.
3.Program the module for the appropriate location. Refer to Link CAN Lambda instruction manual or CAN Devices for programming instructions.
4.Add the next module to the bus, repeat steps 2 and 3 until all modules are programmed.
Setting up the Link ECU:
1.Open the CAN Setup window (PCLink > ECU Controls > CAN Setup).
2.Select the CAN module to be used.
3.Set the Mode to 'User Defined'.
4.Configure the Bit Rate to the bit rate the Link CAN-Lambda modules are set to (1 Mbit/s by default).
5.Select a spare CAN channel.
6.Select 'Link CAN-Lambda' mode from the Mode drop-down menu.
7.Set CAN ID to 950.
8.The Rate also does not need to be set as is pre-configured.
9.Click Apply and then OK.
10.Make sure a Store (F4) is performed.
Note: If exhaust pressure compensation is required, an appropriate pressure sensor must be installed in the exhaust, connected to the ECU and correctly calibrated as Exhaust Pressure. If not using exhaust pressure compensation, ensure that Exhaust Pressure reads zero at all times.
Note: Link CAN-Lambda modules can be configured to be received by Link ECUs or any other CAN capable after market ECUs using a custom CAN configuration. Full information on the Link CAN-Lambda communication format is given in the Link CAN-Lambda instruction manual.
CAN IDs used by Link CAN-Lambda modules
When the ECU is configured to use the 'Link CAN-Lambda' CAN Channel mode, the following CAN IDs are allocated and can not be used for anything else.
·950 (0x3B6) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 0 (ie the first or only module on the bus)
·951 (0x3B7) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 1
·952 (0x3B8) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 2
·953 (0x3B9) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 3
·954 (0x3BA) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 4
·955 (0x3BB) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 5
·956 (0x3BC) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 6
·957 (0x3BD) - Receive from CAN Lambda module Id 7
·958 (0x3BE) - Transmit to all CAN Lambda modules.
·Note, CAN IDs 100 (0x64), 101 (0x65) and 959 (0x3BF) to 966 (0x3C6) are used during module programming so must be left unused on the bus.

An example of the Lambda 1 and two receive packets can be Found in the CAN folder in the PCLink install location.
"Link CAN Lambda 1 Receive.lcs" needs to be setup to receive on ID 950 and "Link CAN Lambda 2 Receive.lcs" needs to be setup to receive on ID 951.
The CAN Lambda devices will turn on after a set time if they do not receive a CAN package telling them the engine speed but if you want to turn them on immediately you can use the "Link CAN Lambda Transmit false speed.lcs" stream with an ID of 958 which will transmit an engine speed of 1000rpm telling the CAN Lambdas to turn on.
Note: When using these custom streams the built in "Link CAN Lambda" stream must be turned off.
Packets that CAN-Lambda receives:
Receive ID: 958 + Index; Index = [0-7]
Wideband is enabled for engine speed > 400 rpm and disabled for engine speed < 10 rpm
If no speed packet received then Wideband is enabled after 2 seconds.

The standard MoTeC CAN ID is 1520.
2.Refer to MoTeC instructions for installing this file into the dash.
All parameters are sent as 16 bit unsigned numbers, with low byte first. Some parameters must be multiplied or offset (constant value added) to get the correct calibrated value. Refer to the Generic Dash table below for more specific information.
The limits flags are sent through as a bit field, a table of the values is shown in the Generic Dash section.
Link G4X ECUs can receive data from MoTeC E888 devices. Note that E888 outputs can not be controlled. To configure the ECU to receive from an E888:

Setting up the Toucan Dash:
The Toucan Dash is able to have multiple calibrations that can be changed live, each calibration can have each CAN DI channel set to be on or off. The calibrations are also able to have custom labels entered, this makes it easier to choose which CAN DIs are currently active. By activating the ECUs CAN DI channels (through the Toucan) many different tune options can be activated including fuel, ignition, and boost tables. See the manufacturers instructions for details on configuring this.
Note: The Toucan dash does not use all the data that is sent through on the ECUs Generic Dash stream.
