Install DenEdit
The installation file for the DenEdit software is on the storage device provided with the detonation controller.
To install the program, proceed as follows:
Set up the Virtual Communication Port
Explosion hazard! The USB interface may only be used in a non-explosive atmosphere. There is a risk of sparking. |
The computer communicates logically with the DetCon via the communication port (COM), but physically via USB. For this reason, it may be necessary with some operating systems to install the virtual communication port (VCP) and assign it to the USB port.
You automatically receive the command to install the driver if
It is recommended first to download the driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm and unpack it. As an alternative, you can install the driver offline according to your requirements.
Set the Device Name
When the program is first started, the window Unit names opens.
Assign the Communication Port
In order to establish communication between the computer and the detonation controller, you first have to set the communication port to be assigned to the USB interface.
Proceed as follows:
Establish a Connection to the Device and Load the Parameter File
The parameter file of the respective engine has to be loaded to the device prior to start-up. The storage device supplied with the device contains files for engines which have already been calibrated. If there is no parameter file for the desired engine, a calibration has to be performed. This can only be carried out by MOTORTECH service personnel.
Check parameter files During the DetCon installation, it is necessary to check the settings in the parameter files. The knocking of the engine should also be checked in order to fine-tune the DenEdit settings. Especially the settings in the tab Outputs options have to be adjusted to on site specifications. |
Calibration for diesel and pilot injection engines For diesel and pilot injection engines, calibration has to be performed by MOTORTECH service personnel. |
Proceed as follows:
Name of the parameter file The file name of the parameter file indicates the engine associated with the file. The file extension indicates the DetCon device type for which the file has to be used. For example:
