Some help from someone with an LT10s hooked up
I don't have my LT10s hooked up right now, so I'm wondering if someone can check a setting for me. Under the Setup screen, is there an option to change "Output" from Negative to Positive?
I'm trying to figure out if it can be changed from falling edge (stock igniters' signal) to rising edge to directly drive some MSD CDI's.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: here's the manual http://www.microtechefi.com/software/ltmanual.pdf
Page 25, or Screen 31, they describe "SparkTrig /TDCref" as Sets the MT ECU to fire the spark plugs on either the positive (rising) edge or the negative (falling) edge of
the output signal; default is positive. Set this screen to read Output Trig= +POS for positive triggering, or
Output Trig = -NEG for negative triggering. The Output Trig feature has been factory preset to suit your
application, and should not be adjusted unless otherwise specified.
NOTE: on NISSAN set-ups the TDCref screen replaces this screen. The TDCref screen is factory preset to
suit the application, and should not be altered.
So this would have me believe you can set it as either way? I'm only asking because I don't recall seeing this in my LT8 setup screen, and I was under the impression you had to use some kind of igniters in between the Microtech and the CDI in order to turn the falling edge to a rising edge signal (which I don't really want to do)
