Connecting to an Autronic DB-9 to 3.5mm plug cable

The cable supplied by Autronic to connect their device to a PC serial port for configuration and logging (DB-9 to

3.5mm jack cable) can be used to connect to the DashDAQ by wiring the Drew Technologies DashDAQ cable to a male DB-9 connector. The connections for wiring to a male DB-9 connector are shown in the following table.

Driver and License Installation

A MMC/SD memory card is required to install the Autronic SM4 driver and license file. The installation is performed using the following steps:

• Place a MMC/SD card into a PC

• Create a folder called “transfer” on the MMC/SD card

• Copy the AutronicSM4.so and AutronicSM4.dtl files supplied by Drewtech to the transfer directory on the

MMC/SD card

• Power up the DashDAQ and place the MMC/SD card into the card slot once it has booted up.

• Get to the DashDAQ “Main Menu” and touch “Setup”

• Touch one of the arrows on the upper scroll bar until “Install from SD Card” is displayed

• Touch “Driver” from the list and touch the “Install” button.

• “AutronicSM4.so” should be shown in the dialog box. Touch “AutronicSM4.so” and then touch “OK”. A popup box should appear indicating the file was successfully installed. Touch “OK”.

• Touch “License” from the list and touch the “Install” button.

• “AutronicSM4.dtl” should be shown in the dialog box. Touch “AutronicSM4.dtl” and then touch “OK”. A popup box should appear indicating the file was successfully installed. Touch “OK”.

• Press one of the arrows on the upper scroll bar until “Installed Devices” is seen.

• If AutronicSM4 is not shown as one of the devices, touch on an unused device entry and touch “Change” and then touch “Driver” in the new window.

• Touch one of the arrows on the top scroll bar until “Other” is displayed. “Autronic SM4 (licensed)” should appear in the list. Touch “Autronic SM4 (licensed)” and then touch “Save”.

• If the serial port name that the Autronic ECU has been connected to is not shown next to the “Port” button

(RS232-1 or RS232-2), touch the “Port” button until the correct port is displayed.

• Touch “Save” and then “Save” again.

Driver and license installation is complete.
