The new DL-340XB Power FC interface

The long awaited, fastest & most accurate Power FC USB interface, developed by myself (author of FC-Tweak), is now officially released for the RX7. The DL-340XB is the only modern interface box on the market which comes with its own user friendly software and voice assist, totally replacing the 20 year old data logging hardware & software. Get twice the data logging speed and much better data quality, with no software crashes, no undefined parameters, or a myriad of awkward settings. Can upload/ download PFC maps or simply select your AFR meter model from its built in list and start logging! Ready to ship!





Features:
Includes software package enabling the user to upload, download, real time data monitoring and data logging
Direct USB connection (no serial/USB converters required)
Easily connect & select any WB O2 kit model from built in list (no need to manually enter volts-to-AFR Aux conversion settings)
Monitors all PFC data channels at 4x the speed of Apexi's FC Commander Pro and 2x the speed of FC-Datalogit (tested on Win10)
Built using latest technology & highest quality components
Optically isolated - full galvanic isolation of power & data lines between laptop & PFC
Front panel LEDs show both PFC & USB status
Integrated wideband O2 analogue input noise filter
User friendly software including voice assist for safe driving while logging
Unique direct connection to PFC's built-in A/D converter for fast wideband O2 monitoring
AFR accuracy to within +-0.01AFR
Files are backward compatible with FC-Edit
Makes tuning with FC-Tweak easier than ever before

The software (both FC-Tweak and the DL-340XB interface software) get their own software updates online, so no need to visit any facebook page to get the latest versions.

Best way to contact me is at ingxborg(at)gmail.com

Version 2.0 is now online. Existing users hit the update key and enjoy!

Version 2.5 now online, features graphical log file player:



Graphical Log file player included with the DL-340XB Power FC interfaceFeatures:



· Ability to view all recorded parameter values at the time marker location

· Displays true decoded values with their respective units, in both numerical and bargraph formats

· Displays model of Wideband O2 AFR unit used for logging

· Automatic graph scaling factor makes it super easy to configure the charts.

· Backward compatible with older data logger log files so that you can still view your old files

· Watch all logged parameters, Map tracer and graphs on the same window

· Super smooth scrolling of graphs with variable manual scrolling speed

· Automatic playback mode of the log session with x1 to x10 variable playback speeds

· User defined charts – can select any of the recorded parameter to show on each graph

· User defined chart colors – can select any preferred color for the graphs

· Easy selection from predefined axis modes, can display graphs on single, dual or multiple Y-axis

Here are 2 logfiles taken from the same RX7, using the same Innovate WBO2, before (using the Datalogit box) and after (using the new DL-340XB PFC interface). The DL-340XB internal noise filter drastically reduces the WBO2 signal noise, resulting in a more accurate tune.

Can you change the filtering. Understandable you want filtered signal for closed loop or map learning but if you are trying to identify a miss you want the noise.

The noise filtering bandwidth is more than enough enough to let pass ALL the real wideband O2 sensor signals, it just stops very high frequency electrical noise (such as ignition noise) which would otherwise reduce the WBO2 signal to noise ratio. In fact it becomes much easier than ever to identify a miss or a lean instance during tip in.

A new software version v4.0 for the DL-340XB interface is now online. This makes the DL-340XB able to perform any kind of tuning work required on your ECU map. Basically, you can download, upload, manually edit, unlock maps, perform data logging, watch all or specific data channels while logging, easily select your WBO2 kit from a built in list, real time data monitoring, and playback log files in graphical mode against time.

The new version features a manual advanced file editor/viewer which can also be accessed off-line (no need to have the interface connected).


Manual editing is meant for advance users only, but it's a required function when one wants to create a starting map for a new build with aftermarket injectors or aftermarket boost sensor. Unlike older PFC editing software, PFC-Connect checks that every entry is within the PFC's internal limits and will clip any nonsensical entries to such limits. Unlike the FC-Commander, it also enables you to edit the IGL map, while protecting the split value, and you can also directly edit the split timing values.

first and most surprising thing with the DL-340 is that when you hit C to connect, its connected just like that. no waiting, no futzing with drivers, it just works.
second is that the ability to play back a run is huge.
third, i'm only 90% tuned on the Dl340, but the car drives better than when it was 90% tuned on the old datlogit box. i would imagine that this is the better 02 sensor signal quality.
and four, the o2 sensor really couldn't have been easier to wire and set up.

so its still early days, but i'm really happy with it so far.

Lots of new features in the new interface software v5.0, make the DL-340XB package the ultimate tool for RX7s.

Now includes:

New program preference options, lets you select (& mix) between SI and standard US units for speed, temperature and boost - take effect on all screens
Advanced graphic file editor, edits timing and fuel graphs directly on map.

File compare feature, showing differences between 2 files in both table and graphical format, with a 100% match indicator on the menu bar.
High precision fuel map unify function (aka basemap recalc), much more accurate than FC-Edit's recalc
Dynamic window resizing


Example: Logging real time gauges showing values in US units





Example: File compare. Shows both filenames, displays X or OK indicating whether both files are exactly the same, shows points on graph which do not match.





File compare in classical table form, showing difference between file A- file B.




Independent units selection for temp, speed and boost.





Manually edit timing maps directly on the graph, while preserving split values.





Playback boost values (chart A) in SI makes it easy to compare with the boost settings set on the FC-Commander (in kg/cm2), rather than viewing PIM values.




Playback with boost (chart A) in PSI, water temp in F, and speed in mph.


Regards,

Xavier

PFC-Connect Version 5.8, for the new DL-340XB PFC interface has now got a real time knock alert function on the data logging screen.

When 'knock alert' is enabled, high knock cells are highlighted in red, and the max knock value is printed on those particular cells. This makes the high knock cells immediately visible, and you do not have to look at all cells searching for the highest numbers!


DL-340XB data logging screen for Apexi PFC

With the alert option enabled, a voice warning is also sounded each time a high knock is detected, so you do not even have to look at the screen while road tuning.


Datalogger knock threshold can be set from the program preferences.
