Default PassionFord Only Deal. IAW Monitors for £159.99 all in...

I am very pleased to announce that due to a special deal with Nikola at RP LABS we are now able to sell their Fantastic IAW monitor at a discounted price for 2 weeks only.

The IAW Monitor is a very powerful serial DataStream tool.
It can read, interpret, log and even scope all the data available through the factory provided diagnostic interface on ALL Weber Marelli IAW L8 & P8 series Ecu’s that are equipped with software allowing DataStream output (Such as Pectel amongst others)

In most Ford Cosworth ECU’s, you will be using a Pectel or similar derivative of the serial data communications protocol, *

The parameters that you can read, datalog and scope are individually adjustable as is the sampling rate it can be recoded and displayed at. Available data logging time depends only upon the amount of free hard disk space available.

The data read can be shown in either a numerical display, a scope display, both, or as an "analog" dash type display.

Key Benefits:

    Here are a few screenshots to wet your appetite.**

    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...icp-rp-013.png

    The screen above shows what options are available to be monitored via your serial output and also shows an example of some outputs being "Scoped" in real time to find signal glitches. (Wiring etc)


    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...icp-rp-014.png

    The screen above shows the error functions built into the ecu serial system and how you can interrogate them yourself.
    Any errors show up in RED.


    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...-015ASmall.jpg

    The screen above is used to configure all the options and colours of your loggers and dashboard display... bringing me too..


    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/06...cp-rp-017A.png

    The Dashboard. Self explanatory really, similar to screen one but all displayed as analogue dials.

    Please note:
    A few of the options shown will not work under Pectel serial communications, but all the important ones do such as:

      Any additional features apparent in the screenshots are to be disregarded as they are not available to normal Weber L8 & P8 owners using the Pectel or similar data output. These extra features are present as this software is also used with RP labs own mappable ecu. (Details coming soon)

      The software itself just requires a PC running windows and a 9pin serial port for the connector. A special cable is also required to make the interface RS232 compatible. This cable connects directly between the serial port and ECU diagnostic connector, once connected, you can monitor, scope and datalog away to your hearts content.


      Pricing:
      IAW Monitor Full for Pectel DataStream £159.99 inc vat. WITH THE SERIAL LEAD




      There is a Professional version too, this is £50 more.
      On top of all the above features, the "Professional" version supports alteration of fuelling and spark advance anywhere in the map LIVE whilst you drive. Just like the original Pectel monitor high end versions with "Swingers". This is arguably only of use to Pro's as the alteration is NOT permanent but it allows the tuner to make note of the EPROM addresses he saw gains and then re-burn an EPROM with the new data changes. As an added advantage, the monitor can, at the press of a button, store data address, rpm and boost levels present at the time you saw fit to modify the map, allowing you to read this back when the time comes to modify the EPROM data.


      *
      Please be aware that normal Weber software does NOT provide this output as standard and the P8 needs an internal modification to allow the output from teh software to work. Check with your tuner to see if it will work with their chips.

      So just to clarify as i am not so hot on these things.

      Basically you just install the software onto your laptop connect the lead to
      the ecu and off ya go ??

      Where does the lead actaully attach to ? on the ecu or a fault code reader lead ?

      Ta..

      from what I know:

      XP is fully supported, but not sure on the others

      PCMCIA will always work - the usb converters rarely work

      basically, yes

      a lead connects a serial port on your laptop (or via PCMCIA adapter card if it doesn't have one built in) to the standard 5 pin (only 3 pins present) diagnostic connector in the engine loom close to the ecu

      Such a clever product, and how cool would it be if it could be made into a monitor that was permanently installed in the car, without the need of a lap top (just an idea for Nikola!) .

      you could easily make it run on a very basic 'carputer' that would fit in the space where the amplifier used to be and have an lcd screen remotely

      such a carputer could also be used to play music, video, satnav etc i was planning on doing that before i broke my cossie and sold it. all this good stuff makes me want to have another one

      Monitor software will work on Win 98, 2000, ME, XP, 2003 and Vista.

      Installing on Vista, however, requires some computer skills, visit my faq: http://rplab.co.yu/faq.htm

      Any other questions, gentlemen?

      Cheers,
      Nikola

      No, there are 2 mate, and the one your ALS etc connects to is circular

      Fiecos Dan no, as it has a different data protocol. neither does it need to - S8 software has a similar thing built in (although i don't think it's as elegant)

      Stu, will this work on all cossie ECU's or just the L8.

      Not really up on this sort of stuff so treat me as a dumbass with the reply lol.

      I look after a low mileage, standard 3dr, so was thinking of fault finding use on this

      No problem John each to their own.
      It will work on any ecu that outputs the correct datastream, so:

      L1 = No.

      L6 = No.

      L600 = Yes, if your tuners software outputs the serial data.

      L8 = Yes, if your tuners software outputs the serial data.

      P8 = Yes, if your tuners software outputs the serial data.

      P8 from MSD = Yes, Also has a far better output with more info available such as lambda correction and knock levels.

      Our P8 stream also has the ability to activate your fuel pump, injectors, idle and boost valves seperately, and fire coil banks off, all for testing purposes.
