General

After installation your software should look like this starting it.

The MonM197 v1.2 splits the ECU settings into 2 distinct areas:
Config (pink)– section to set the bike model, the setting of the sensor and the dashboard installed
on the bike.
Map (yellow)– Any parameters that could be considered as an Engine tuning settings.

If your system has been pre-designed or you have been given some base settings to work with, you can load
them now using the LOAD buttons at the bottom of this page.

Save / Load / Transmit

Any changes that are made to software parameters must be saved and then transmitted (uploaded) to the
ECU for them to take affect.

Save - Use the Save button on the tool bar to save any changes you have
made, you will be given the choice to save either the Configuration or the Map
file, if you have made changes to both of these zones you will need to make
the Save file to both the configuration file (*.ecd) and the Map file (*.emd)

Your choice of file name is completely free.

You will also notice that the file names shown above the button bar will change
to match your naming choice. These are the file names in use on your PC,
NOT the ones currently loaded in the ECU.

Load - Use the Load button to choose a previously stored Configuration or Map file. After pressing you are
again given the choice to load either the Config or Map as shown above.

Transmit – To transmit (upload) a file from your PC to the ECU you must first establish a link by pressing the
Open button, if the link is established correctly the TX and RX button will become active as shown here.

To send either a Configuration or a Map to the ECU press the TX button, the following
window will open.

By pressing the Configuration button you will send the complete

Configuration file to the ECU, this takes approx 5-6 seconds and will be
followed by this confirmation.

By pressing Mapping 1 or Mapping 2 you can send your complete map

into either Map position 1 or Map position 2. In this way you can have 2 completely
different maps that are instantly switch able by the rider/driver with start button.

By default the Map 1 is used when the switch input is open circuit.

pressing the Open button to active the RX button.

When the Rx button is pressed you can choose to download the Configuration, Map 1
or Map 2. make the selection using this window.

Whenever you download a file from the ECU, it is taken in as a single complete file
containing all of the parameters within that zone. (zone being either
the Config or the map). If the process is completed without error you
will see this message.

You should also note that the file name showing above the button
bar would now represent the name of the file taken from the ECU.

Configuration - General – Injection battery offset

This table is of significant importance for the system to calculate the injection time. At different battery
voltage levels the injector will take a specific time is „Ms‟ (milli seconds) to go from fully closed when the
signal is received to fully open. The lower the voltage the longer this will take, but there is course fuel being
injected during this phase.

You are free to choose your own „break point‟ within the top row and differing offset values for the upper and
lower injector bank. Note: This data is sometimes referred to as injector „dead time‟

These additive corrections are referred to as Std and Aux for standard bank and auxiliary bank (double
injection).

Configuration - General – Dwell

This table controls the duration of the ignition coil „trigger‟ pulse as a function of battery voltage in Ms (milli
seconds). You are free to choose your own „breakpoints‟ within the top row.

Configuration - General – Pick up

This table contains the correction to spark advance at differing RPM values (applied to all cylinders) to
correct for errors resulting from the signal delay from the crank pick up.

You can linearise the different linear sensor such gas, water temperature, air temperature, oil temperature,
two narrow band and barometric pressure.

Throttle – To calibrate the throttle sensor, first choose the values for the break points. Use the Monitor page
to note the minimum and maximum value for the throttle inputs and enter these values at the 2 ringed
positions. Now press Interpolate and the software will automatically re-distribute the A/D values equally
between these 2 extremes.

In all cases you are free to enter your own values for the breakpoints and the A/D representation.

Maps / Edit / Cranking corrections

This is the starting enrichment map KJCrank with the temperature at the left side and the number of crank
rotations on the upper row. Within the table are the gains to be applied to the map during the start procedure.

To help understand this, choose a typical temperature at the left side (example +30°c) for the first 5 rotations
of the engine the base fuel map will be multiplied by 2.01, from 5-10 rotations this will drop to 1.82 and
onwards until the far right hand column is reached. The map will then work from this final cell downwards as
the engine warms up and normal running temperature is reached.

Maps / Mapping overview

This page gives you 2 options for mapping.

Manual tuning where the operator uses the „sliders‟ or numeric fields at the bottom of the page to
define the values of spark advance and fuel at each cell.
Auto tune – In this mode a fixed AFR value is used a target and the ECU will automatically adjust the
fuel for you. You also have the opportunity to use Auto Tune both on the dyno and on the road.

The page displayed is the manual mode of the mapping.

Maps / Page function overview

RPM – value of engine RPM

Throttle – Value of Throttle sensor
Manual tuning / Injection / Current – Value of cell taken from the map
Manual tuning / Injection / Corrected – Value of injection time as a result of the manual adjustments.

Manual tuning / Advance / Current – Value of cell taken from the map
Manual tuning / Advance / Corrected – Value of advance as a result of the manual adjustments.
Freeze – Applies the adjustment to the specific cell within the ECU and then automatically returns to nil
offset.
Lambda – Current value of the lambda sensor in AFR
Enabled – This LED lights when the „lambda searching phase‟ of the tuning strategy is permitted (not
considering the enable setting of single cells). The lambda searching phase is inhibited during cranking, gear
change, injection transients, engine cut-off, when the water temperature exceeds the given limits, or when
the engine speed is near the limit set in the “Parameters” page..
Cranking – LED turns from brown to red during engine start. When active mapping will be inhibited.
Over rev – LED turns from brown to red when the engine is within 150RPM of the limiter.
Cut off – LED turns from brown to red when the „cut off‟ strategy is enabled. When active mapping will be
inhibited.
Transient - LED turns from brown to red when the transient strategy is active. When active mapping will be
inhibited.
OverTime inj – LED turns from brown to red when injector are in over time
TH2O – Value of water temperature.

Injection 1 – Use the pull down to visualize the map that you plan to work with
Cylinders – This option lets you choose to apply your mapping to all cylinders equally or to specific
cylinders. Also through the different combinations you can choose how lambda probe work.

Maps / Manual mapping

Before you begin mapping it is important to make sure that you have transmitted the latest version of your
configuration and „start map‟ into map slot 1

1. Make sure that your external map switch is in position 1 (open circuit)
2. Run the engine and check that all sensor readings are correct.
3. Choose whether to map the injection on „all cylinders‟ or an individual one
4. Use the left pull down to visualise the map you plan to work in.

To begin manual mapping press the Manual button at the top of the page. The PC will now read back from
the ECU the latest version of the injection and spark map. At the top of the page you will see a series of
messages.
Synchronising mapping data
Loading injection data
Loading advance data
Manual tuning mode (you are now ready to map)
You will notice that the file name you are now working with at the bottom of the screen is prefixed by a *, this
is to indicate that the map has been taken from the ECU and not yet stored on your PC.

Adjust the engine using the dyno so that the throttle and RPM align with your chosen cell.
Correct engine state will be indicated by the RPM and TPS values changing from yellow to red
and the cell in the main window changing to grey as shown here.

Use the sliders or double click the value and use up/down arrow keys to change the fuel
injection time and the spark advance. Your changes are applied in real time to the ECU so be careful. When
you are happy with the results, press the Freeze button to apply either injection or advance changes. After
the change has been permanently written the injection correction will return to 1.000 and the advance to 0.0.

The Current and corrected windows give a real time readout of the existing ECU setting and the
new setting, after the new settings have been written, both will be the same and the cell in the main
window will be updated and showing in bold red to indicate that a change has been made

Now move onto the next cell you wish to work on. When all mapping work is done use the OFF button at top
right. All of the modified cells are showing in bold red, including the ones in other pages.

If you want to make some manual changes at this stage you will need to exit the Map tuning page and use
the Map edit page, this is easily done by pressing the Map button at the bottom of the page, the red bold
cells are still showing and you are free to make manual changes.

This file must now be saved, use the Save button, choose Mapping and remember to remove the * prefix or
you will not be allowed to save the file.

To finish the process, simply Transmit this map back to the ECU into either map 1 or map 2.

Maps / Page function overview

RPM – value of engine RPM

Throttle – Value of Throttle sensor

Lambda / Set point - Yours 3 desired targets AFR values
Lambda tolerance - +/- gate around your target AFR that is deemed to be acceptable. Once within this
boundary to further Auto tuning would occur in Auto tune mode.
Traking mode – In Auto tuning mode the engine must be latched into a cell for this amount of time before
any correction will occur. You can choose between slow, medium, fast.
Enabled – This LED lights when the „lambda searching phase‟ of the tuning strategy is permitted (not
considering the enable setting of single cells). The lambda searching phase is inhibited during cranking, gear
change, injection transients, engine cut-off, when the water temperature exceeds the given limits, or when
the engine speed is near the limit set in the “Parameters” page..
Cranking – LED turns from brown to red during engine start. When active mapping will be inhibited.
Over rev – LED turns from brown to red when the engine is within 150RPM of the limiter.

Maps / Auto mapping

Before you begin mapping it is important to make sure that you have transmitted the latest version of your
configuration and „start map‟ into map slot 1. The ECU, the „start map‟ is the one provided by your ECU
supplier or one you believe to be closest to the one needed for this engine.

1. Make sure that your external map switch is in position 1 (open circuit)
2. Run the engine and check that all sensor readings are correct.
3. Warm up the engine until the water temperature value is within the correct zone
4. Ensure that there are no red LEDs showing
5. Enter values for your lambda and PI controls
6. Define the cells that you want the Auto tuning to take place in. You can choose between 3
different break point by a single, double or triple click in cell. Also you can choose an entire row
or column.
7. Choose whether to map the injection on „all cylinders‟ or an individual one
8. Use the left pull down to visualise the map you
plan to work in.

It is very important when Auto tuning to specify which areas

of the map this tuning should take place in. These cells can
be defined by a double click in the map cell window to
change colors, an example of this is shown here.

The end result can be saved and re-loaded at

any time using these buttons.

IMPORTANT – Auto mapping will only take place in a cell that has been activated in this way.

To begin Auto Tuning press the Auto button at the top of the page. The PC will now read back from the ECU
the latest version of the injection and spark map. At the top of the page you will see a series of messages.

Adjust the engine using the dyno so that the throttle and RPM align with your chosen cell. Correct
engine state will be indicated by the RPM and TPS values changing from yellow to red and the cell
in the main window changing to grey as shown here.

Providing that all of the following conditions have been met, the ECU will begin to adjust the injection time to
your target AFR. This will be seen in the main cell window by the text changing to red and the numbers
moving. The manual sliders are inoperable during auto tuning.

Cell must be activated for Auto Tuning

Water temperature must be within limits
No transient or start strategy active
The engine is not in „Cut off‟ or „Over rev‟ status
The engine has been locked onto the cell for at least the „Hold time‟
The current lambda value must be outside of the target tolerance.

Once the target AFR has been achieved and the cell value stops changing, move onto the next cell and
repeat
When all mapping work is done use the OFF button at top right. All of the modified cells are showing in bold
red, including the ones in other cylinder pages

Maps / Auto mapping – Road tune

Before you begin mapping it is important to make sure that you have transmitted the latest version of your
configuration and „start map‟ into map slot 1.

1. Make sure that your external map switch is in position 1 (open circuit)
2. Run the engine and check that all sensor readings are correct.
3. Warm up the engine until the water temperature value is within the correct zone

7. Choose whether to map the injection on „all cylinders‟ or an individual one
8. Use the left pull down to visualise the map you plan to work in.

It is very important when Auto tuning to specify

which areas of the map this tuning should take
place in. These cells can be defined by a double
click in the map cell window to change color, an
example of this is shown here.

This is especially important for tuning under

normal road conditions; you should also note
that tuning will not take place under transient
conditions or if the engine does not have
sufficient time at each breakpoint. You may even
decide to only activate the full throttle cells.

When using Auto tune modify you driving style so that there are no rapid changes of throttle, use of full
power is fine, just get there progressively.

The end result of your selections can be saved and re-loaded at any time using these buttons.

Fuel pump timer – value in Ms for the fuel pump to run at „power on‟
Pre-Injection delay - Amount of time after power on before the injectors open for the single pre-injection.
Drop switch delay time – Delay after the Dropswitch input is activated before the engine cut occurs, this is
to ensure that small events less than this time do not interfere with normal operation.
Engine threshold – ON/OFF - RPM boundaries to define when the engine is running and when it has
stopped. Always ensure that the Lower is less than the Upper and provide spacing between these
parameters to create a hysteresis.

Pre injection time – At ECU power on all injectors are opened for a short period of time to prime the
cylinders. The duration of this opening is defined within the Pre-injection Time table as a function of water
temperature.

Maps / Edit / Parameters / Start – Cut-off

The „cut off‟ parameters are

used for controlling spark
advance and fuelling during
engine „over-run‟.

To enable this strategy the

engine must have a higher
RPM than the Threshold – Speed and lower throttle value than the Threshold – Throttle.
Throttle variation – limit to disable special strategy in fuction of throttle variation
Throttle var. Filter Depth – number of sample to calculate throttle variation
Special Exit Duration Count – number of revolutions to get the maximum out of the special strategy

When the strategy is active the correction settings for Advance as an „additive‟ and Injection time as a Gain
are applied to the map for each cylinder. Note that a gain of 0 to the injection time will cut the fuel
completely.

When the strategy de-activates you can specify an exit time to return to normal map settings.

Shift light [rpm]: thresholds to enable dashboard led for rpm out of
range.

Engine speed limits [rpm] – user [rpm]: you can change the limiter
bike for injection and ignition.

Set points idling parameters about

minimum valve control.
Water/oil T – idling rpm: depending on the temperature, the minimum can
be set to two different values.
Delta idling – action threshold of the strategy of minimum.
Ramp idling – time necessary to eliminate the gap between delta and
minimum.
Idling Start – valve position at ECU power on
Min farf – opening throttle threshold above witch disables the control of the
minimum.

Min Speed – Minimum RPM for the gear shift sequence to activate.
Delay – Delay in Ms for the strategy to activate following either a signal
from the Load cell, the Switch input or the Shift threshold from the
potentiometer.
Time out – The maximum time for the gear change process to complete in
Ms.
Hold Off – To eliminate the possibility of a „double switch‟ the time „de-
bounce‟ disables the strategy from re-occurring for „x‟ Ms starting from the
end of the previous occurrence.
Advance – Spark advance value to be applied during gear change, this value replaces the main map.
K- Injection – Correction factor applied to the main Injection map for the duration of the gear change.

These parameters are used to calibrate the front and rear wheels speeds.
Enter the rolling circumference in mm and the number of trigger teeth for one
wheel revolution.

Maps / Edit / Parameters / Page 2 / Advance Transient settings 1.

The transition of the advance is given by the following parameters:

Time base (ms). – gives the time which is updated the calculation of
transient.
Filter depth – number of samples which filter the input.
Noise threshold – Threshold for the noise variations in the input signal.
The following parameters are split to separate the calculation in function of
the throttle input ( + , - )
Clipping – maximum (+) and minimum (-) value in degree of advance are allowed for final results of a
transitional strategy.

Maps / Edit / Parameters / Page 2 / Advance Transient settings 2.

To enable differing
transient values at
different throttle values, 8
breakpoints for may be
defined in the upper row.

Within these throttle

boundaries the rate of
change of throttle is
monitored as per previous settings and a positive Gain is applied to suit your needs. This output is known as
the Throttle Advance transient and will be a value either Positive or Negative depending whether the
throttle was opening or closing. For all of the Positive transient states the upper set of values will be applied.

Decay (deg/ms) – Maximum transient decay (decreases for positive values) allowed in a single time interval
(as defined by the Time Base). This applies starting from the time the transients begins to decrease until it
returns to 0. The effect is to limit the speed of the transient‟s decay (return to normal)

Similar settings are applied when the throttle is reducing.

The injection time transient can be further modified by applying Gains as a function of different RPMs
DJDInTrpm as shown in this table below.

The KA+ is used to modify positive (increasing) throttle transients and the KA- is used to modify negative
(reducing) throttle transients.

Maps / Edit / Parameters / Page 2 / Injection Transient settings 1

The Injection transient is defined by a series of parameters.

Time base Ms. – Time period over which the input change is considered.
Filter depth –Number of samples over which the filter is calculated.
Noise threshold – Value in throttle deg / mBar variation within which the
transients are not considered. This is used to eliminate small fluctuations in
throttle / Air pressure stability.
The choice of mBar or Throttle is defined with the Configuration page as
detailed in section 1.17
Clipping – Maximum (+) and Minimum (-) value in mSec injector duration
that are permitted as a result of the transient strategy.

Password

The password is a means of protecting your maps and configurations from other subsequent users of the
ECU.
When the protection is active it is not possible to transmit or receive either the configuration or mapping data
between ECU and PC, map-tuning is also inhibited.

All internally calculated values related to engine control for ignition

and injection plus some others are hidden, and the protection state
of the ECU is signalled by the text colour in the Open/Close push-
button (red = protected; green = unprotected; black = not
connected).
Pressing the PWD button opens the Protection dialog-box. You can enter a password at any time, even
when the connection between ECU and monitor is not active. After typing the password press the Log in
