RED LED
The LED indicates that the module is communicating with MSD View.
Without a connection to a PC or Laptop the LED will be "Off".
PROGRAMMING
There are three tabs in MSD View used to manipulate the Boost Retard Module:
• Settings
• MapTiming
• DataAcquisition
The Boost Retard Module operates off
Relative Pressure (Boost/Vacuum). The
Module measures absolute pressure and
then calculates the Relative Pressure. The
barometric pressure is calibrated when the
ignition is turned to the “ON” position for
approximately six seconds with no major
pressure fluctuations and no engine RPM.
Changes made to the settings in the MSD View software
are live. This means that setting changes do NOT have to
be transferred in to unit.
The Boost Retard Module can display pressure in either
KPa or PSI. The display of these units can be changed
by clicking on “View”=>”Units” and checking off “Metric
(KPa)” or “English (PSI)” (Figure 1)
SETTINGS
The Settings tab allows for changes to the Over-boost
Shutdown/Over-boost Hysteresis and the Pressure Switch
on Above/Pressure Switch Hysteresis (Figure 2).
