+12V source for the controller to operate. If you are NOT connecting this controller to an Accel DFI Gen 7+ Engine Management system, it is recommended to install a 30-amp fuse on this line for short circuit protection. Note that on some models, this input must remain powered until data is read from the integrated internal data logger or else the stored data will be lost.
Page 16
Note: All input and output drivers are active low. For example, in order to trigger data logging, the input wire (AuxIn1, Pin 7, Color: Green with Yellow trace) will be activated by switching the input wire to a ground source. Similarly, any output wire should be connected to the ground trigger of a relay for proper operation.
PCB-Mounted DIP Switch Chart and Function List There is a Dipswitch mounted on the circuit board of the Engine Analyzer that can be used to quickly configure the sensor for customized operation. The Dipswitch is located at the back of the circuit board, and can be easily accessed by removing the rear endplate of the enclosure.

DATAMAP SOFTWARE VERSION 1.0.3 OR HIGHER IS REQUIRED TO SELECT OXYGEN SENSOR TYPE(S).
The Engine Analyzer Integrated Data Logger The Engine Analyzer has an integrated Data Logging System that can store information gathered internally through the Engine Analyzer controller as well as information from external devices that may be connected to it – like an ACCEL/DFI Generation 7+ ECM.
Engine Analyzer Monitoring The DataMap software’s main screen provides a monitoring and control interface to your Engine Analyzer. Air:Fuel Ratio, Engine Speed, Vehicle Speed, Ignition Voltage, and several other parameters are easily read from the real-time readouts. The following is a quick description of the way data values are displayed on the screen. Stripchart: This is an electrical simulation of a paper stripchart recorder commonly used for data analysis.
Page 21
Input/Output Status Indicators: The current state of each input and output line on the Engine Analyzer is represented by a virtual LED on the bottom of the screen. The LED is lit RED when I/O line is active, and shown as black when the I/O state is not active. Data Logger Status: The number of stored logging sessions, and total number of data samples are shown in the center of the screen.
Data Logger Operation The Data Logger can be used to record internal data generated by the Engine Analyzer and the optional data inputs built into it. Basic logger operation will allow you to record the following 4 or 5 internal channels: Engine Analyzer Air-to-Fuel Ratio(s) –...
Page 23
looped recording mode can be enabled which will continuously store the last several minutes of data inside the logger. The length of recording time depends on the sample rate selected. When recording Generation 7+ ECM data, the logger will continuously retain over 20 minutes of recorded data. When data is stored in the Engine Analyzer, the main screen of the DataMap software will show a Number of Runs of at least 1, and the actual number of data samples contained in the logger memory.
Data Logger and Single Channel I/O Configuration The DataMap software Configuration Screen is used to configure the internal Data Logger and all associated external input/output functions within the Single Channel Engine Analyzer models. Press the CTRL + C keys, or select File->Configure Data Logger to see the Single Channel Configuration screen.
Page 25
data logging will occur anytime the Data Logging Input (Auxiliary Input #1) is connected to an electrical ground source. Logging will stop when the input is disconnected from the electrical ground source. Logger Data Source If your Engine Analyzer is connected to an ACCEL/DFI Generation 7+ ECM, and you want to record internal data values from within the ECM, set this switch to RECORD GEN 7+ ECM DATA.
Page 26
A:F Data Source When recording Generation 7+ ECM data, this switch controls the source of the Air to Fuel Ratio data channel. Setting this switch to the GEN 7+ ECM position will cause the Data Logger to record the air to fuel ratio from your Generation 7+ ECM. Setting this switch to the INTERNAL MEASURED A:F RATIO position will cause the Data Logger to record it’s own internal air to fuel ratio.
