For testing new device configurations, you can connect the device to your computer via

Please note, that the MSA-Box also requires power supply on the MSA-Box connector
of your wiring loom.

In the 'Info / Status' Box of RaceCon you will receive messages that the connection
was successful.

formation on how to set up a project, see the chapter "Setting up a new RaceCon Pro-
