 3   Software installation 

 
The software does not need any installation, it can be run from a program folder which contains the 
main initialisation file, the executable file and – if used – the device driver for the Peak System 
PCAN interface. 
The software can be down loaded from our web site – 

www.obr.uk.com

. 

 

 3.1   Software installation from web-download 

It is possible to download the PCM2 support tab from our web site. Go to 

www.obr.uk.com

 and 

select the Support tab. 
 
When you have downloaded the PCM2 software, open the folder where you saved the file and 
double click on the installation file. This file is called SETUP PCM2 vX_YZ.EXE where X_YZ refers 
to the software release version. 
 

 3.2   PC Software and Firmware Releases 

Each new release of PCM2 firmware requires an updated, specific PC tool release. 
Any new release of the PC tool is backwards compatible, meaning that it will support earlier PCM2 
firmware releases.  
Please note, that new features visible in the new tool will not functioning if used in conjunction with 
old firmware versions. 
It is strongly recommended always to use the latest software releases and always make sure you 
use tool and firmware having the same release version number. 
 

 3.3   Connection to system 

Communication between the PC tool and a PCM2 is established via any of the available 4 CAN 
ports, using a USB CAN interface. Connection is automatic; no user commands are required. 
 
Support for three different versions of interfaces are provided with the system: 

-  Blue CANUSB interface from Lawicel.  
-  PCAN USB CAN interfaces from Peak Systems. 
-  EFI Technology USB-CAN interface (EFP02 or EFT20) 

 
If you use the Peak System PCAN interface, it is essential that the file PCANBASIC.DLL is located 
in the same PCM2 folder as the programme files. 
Separate installation of interface drivers is required. 
 
Access to the system may be limited due to the assigned user rights, please see section 4.5 and 
section 7. 
 
If you disconnect from the system, communication will be re-established when you plug the cable 
in again. 
 

 3.4   Wiring Harness 

 
OBR can supply complete, custom made wiring harnesses for bespoke installations. 
Our harnesses are manufactured by specialists, using only the best suitable materials for use in 
the harsh environment of a modern racing or rally car.
