MoTeC provides solutions to connect the device to the PC's parallel (printer) port or USB port. For most devices the USB port is preferable, however some older devices have to be connected to the PC's parallel (printer) port, see below for details.
Communication hardware and device wiring to connect MoTeC products with a CAN port to the PC.

Connecting to the PC: USB Port
The MoTeC UTC adapts the USB to CAN and includes a USB-A to USB-B extension cable
Software Requirements for UTC Compatibility
M400, M600, M800, M880 - V2.30S or later
PDM16, PDM32, PDM15, PDM30 - V1.0 or later
BR2 - V1.0.6.2 (this software ships with all data logging manager software)
- DBW4 - V1.03 or later
- SDC, SDC2, SDC3 - V1.21 or later
MDC - V1.22 or later
- MDC2 - V2.0 or later
- LTC - V1.0 or later
- ADL - V3.20P or later
Note: RTC is not compatible with MoTeC's UTC. Connect to the PC's parallel port instead. If the PC does not have a parallel port MoTeC can configure this device for you.
Connecting to the PC: Parallel (Printer) Port
Use MoTeC's CAN Cable providing parallel connector to CAN connector wiring.
Note: PDM16, PDM32, PDM15, PDM30 and LTC are not compatible with MoTeC's CAN Cable. Connect to the PC's USB port instead.
