MXS 1.2 STRADA
CHAPTER 5
Using AiM Race Studio 3 software you can configure MXS 1.2 Strada, manage its tracks data-
base as well as check other device functions through Race Studio 3 device window.
Here you can set all the channels related to sensors directly connected to the device.
RPM channel is by default enabled: since the direct RPM connection is used when the vehicle
does not have an ECU, the software automatically disables it in case you select an ECU protocol.
In Chapter 9 you may find some information about the hardware RPM signal connection.
To set a channel just click on its line and the related panel shows up.
