AEM has released its CAN Dash 7”
(CD-7) and CAN Dash 7” Logging
(CD-7L) Super Bright digital dash
displays.
The CD-7 /CD-7L color digital
displays feature a super bright,
high contrast, sunlight readable
display and include an integrated
glare diffuser
and shade
hood so that
they are read-
able in even
the bright-
est daylight
conditions.
They are de-
signed to ac-
cept channels
from CAN
bus connec-
tions and do
not include analog inputs. Two
CAN bus channels are included so
that it can receive and collect data
from AEMnet enabled devices
such as the Infinity ECU, Series 2
EMS or EMS-4, and 3rd party de-
vices including PDMs, CAN sensor
modules and programmable engine
management systems. Third-party
systems will require download of
3rd party DBC CAN bus protocol
files for proper operation if they are
not included in our setup software.
Seven ultra-bright LEDs span the
top of the display housing for RPM
and shift light indication. Users can
program them to ascend in specific
increments based on RPM range,
and flash when it is time to shift.
Brightness is user programmable
on the fixed color LEDs. Two large
buttons are included on the face
of the display, allowing easy page
changing and memory resetting
even with driving gloves on. These
button functions are also duplicated
on the rear connector allowing the
user to mount remote buttons on the
steering wheel if desired. Two ad-
ditional pro-
grammable
LEDs are lo-
cated above
the toggle
buttons on
the sides of
the housing.
The dash
d i s p l ay i s
available with
(CD-7L) or
without (CD-
7) a 200MB
on board logger (about 24 hours of
logging time, up to 100 Hz/channel
logging. It will accept as many chan-
nels as available from either of the
CAN bus inputs and is tested up to
800 channels. Individual channel
log speeds are adjustable.
Racers can purchase the CD-7 or
CD-7L with our Vehicle Dynamics
Module (VDM) as a complete kit
to add GPS for vehicle speed, track
mapping and recording lap times,
split times, and displaying predic-
tive times with a live gain/loss value.
In addition to the GPS, the VDM
includes a 3-axis gyrometer for
recoding roll, pitch and yaw, and
a 3-axis accelerometer for collect-
ing longitudinal, lateral and vertical
acceleration.
