SAVES AND TRANSFERS
Changes made to the Circle Track LS Ignition Controller via MSDView are in real time. You can create
and save numerous different files to your PC and load them back into the unit for different applications.
The following will go through a general description of the software for the Circle Track LS Ignition
Controller.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES AND SETTINGS
These are basic settings that should be configured the first time the unit is used, but it is not required.
A basic setup can be performed on the bench with just the USB cable connected to the device. No
external power is required.
Maximum Rev Limiter: This is the maximum RPM that the engine can reach before the Rev limiter
becomes active.
Coil Type: This selects the dwell or charge time of the coils. Choose “AUTO” if unsure.
Auto – The controller will automatically match the coil dwell to the crankshaft reluctor wheel used.
LS1 – This sets the dwell time of the LS1/6 coils.
LS2/3/7 – This sets the dwell time of the LS2/3/7 coils.
Truck – This sets the dwell time of the early truck coils.
TIMING
Under this tab, you will find the timing plot used to control the spark output. The ignition spark
timing is a function of the Engine Speed. The user can modify the plot points, add additional points
or remove unnecessary points.
REGULATED
Under this tab, you will find the settings that can be regulated by sanctioning bodies. When a particular
setting is predetermined by a sanctioning body, the appropriate setting should be checked in the
REGULATED tab. These settings should also match the predetermined values as prescribed by the
sanctioning body. This feature allows the use of the Test Tool to verify compliance.
When the Test Tool is connected via the Diagnostic Connector it will read the regulated parameters
from the unit and compare them to the specified values. A match in of all the REGULATED parameters
indicates compliance, while a mismatch indicates noncompliance. Normally, it is the responsibility of
the racer to enter the REGULATED parameters in accordance with sanctioning body rules.
