DIGITAL TRIGGERING SYSTEM

Flexibility – Programmable Trigger Levels: The DTS gives greater flexibility allowing the exact trigger levels to be set
to suit the trigger sensor system. This ensures maximum compatibility with the trigger sensors.
Improved Noise Rejection – Programmable Filter Characteristics: Programmable filter characteristics allow the noise
filter characteristics to be adjusted to suit the sensor system which gives improved noise rejection. This ensures the
integrity of the trigger signals even in the most noisy environments.
Advanced Diagnostics: The DTS continuously monitors the quality of the trigger sensor signals and will give a warning
if the quality of the signal is poor allowing trigger system problems to be rectified before they cause an operational
problem.
Accuracy: Precision timing accuracy due to true zero crossing detection for magnetic trigger sensors.

DIAGNOSTICS MONITORING SYSTEM

The diagnostics monitoring system monitors all aspects of the ECU operation, including:
Advanced diagnostics on the Digital Trigger System.
Open Circuit and Short circuit detection on the Injector, Ignition and Auxiliary Outputs.
Sensor fault detection on the sensor inputs.
This system helps to identify many of the wiring and sensor faults that may occur during operation allowing
problems to be fixed quickly, particularly when combined with the ECU’s powerful data logging system.

INDIVIDUAL CURRENT SETTING OF INJECTORS

The current drive characteristics of each injector output is individually programmable. This allows
different types of injectors to be used in Hi/Lo injector applications.
