TABELLAR MODE
This is a particular form of visualization, it needs the use of drivers.The drivers are software
upgrades of ECM2001.These have got all the informations that the software must know to
effect a good modify on the Ecu. Practically the addresses and the sizes of the maps, the areas
where effect the calculations fo r checksum and the other informations are into the drivers.The
search of these informations isn't competence of the users but ECM2001.
The user must simply increase or diminish the values of injection, ignition, turbo pressure,
rpm-limiter all this that ECM2001 visualizes.
The driver finds the map and encloses it in a table according to rpm and load.The place where
two values meet give a data that the Pc will use to effect all the calculations for correct work
on your engine. If you know rpm and loadyou c an find the Exact point to modify.
Connecting the emulator you will see the trace in real time and you will modify it, turning your
attention to the motor during this operation. For some Ecu, with the driver, we give you an
other file, it is called .MIX, i nside it it's possible effect modify resolving some protection data
problems.It's important remeber that the drivers are on our web and you always can download
them. You must pay only annual subscription.

INSTALLATION
ECM2001 works only when the hardware key is connected to PC parallel port.

Download the NEW USER installation files from our home page (www.alientech.to) clicking on
UPGRADE DOWNLOAD button

• insert username and password as you can see at page 4

• download the right file for your operating system
• run the file

At first start of software, ECM2001 will create a file (KEY.COD) into the folder C:\ECM2001. It’s
necessary to send this file by e -mail to service@alientech.to . In a short time you will receive
another file (KEY.CFG) that you must save into C:\ECM2001 folder. Now ECM2001 is able to
work.

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS RPM LIMITER

With this utility it is possible to modify the point of RPM limiter.

USER LOGO
The ECM2001 main window can contains a user logo. It is sufficient to copy your logo file in The check box called "Abilita limitatore" works only where is possible to effect o ne manual
.BMP or .JPG format into C:\ECM2001 folder. The name of the logo file must be LOGO.BMP or modification of the value of limitation. After you have written a new value of limitation or after
LOGO.JPG. you have selected the check box "Abilita limitatore", is necessary to click the button "Modify".
If you click on button ESC is possible to send to the emulator, and consequently to the Ecu,
the value of the limitation, modified or original.
GRAPHIC EDITOR
The pression of the key SHIFT, allow to stop the cursor in a position. When the SHIFT key is
pressed the cursor is independent from mouse mouvements. This function is useful for to
select a byte on the graph and to use the mouse for clicking other buttons in the screen.

COLOURS DEFINITION

Whit this utility it is possible to change default colours.

DRIVERS INFORMATIONS
THE MAPS
With drivers, that need of particular attention, you’ll receive from data bank a text file and an
image. These informations are used in a window that is opens when is used the relating driver. What's contain an eprom? An eprom containts a file and its dimesion is related to istalled

What the maps are? They are ensemble of data that we transform in tables to semplify the
work. ECM2001 with drivers extracts all the data of the maps, divide the values of RPM and
load maps transforms hex in decimal and show you a table more intuitive.

view of spark advance map at part throttle in advance degrees
The function of maps is to give to the manage software a given value due to feedback of
sensor applied to the engine. In substance, the table is made as you can see in the previous
example, by an horizontal scale, a vertical scale and, inside, a serie of numbers. On the scales
are visualized the values given by sensors applied on engine, so runnin g and load given by
opening of the throttle or pressur in the suction collector (cars equipped with pressure probe),
while numbers inside are injection time values or spark advance degrees that will be used by
software to do calculations with values of other sensors (temperature, lambda, etc.) the result
of what will be transmitted to actuator to inject the exact amount of fuel and flash the start -up
spark
You can map with two different system:
• pressure/rpm (are considered the parameters collected by the pressure probe in the
suction collector and from the running);
• throttle/rpm (are considered the parameters collected by the mass air flow sensor, by the
switch or potenziometer on the throttle volve and from the rpm).
In every case, this difference could interest only like general knowledge, in fact the way to
modify a map doesn't exchange.
Change the number of mappings presents. The system pressure/rpm has usually only two
maps , one for the spark advance, one for injection, while the system throttle/rpm has three
maps for injection, and three for start-up; in fact the switch assembled on the throttle, give
the position of the throttle in three different moments: minimum, parzialized and full load.
Related to position of the throttle the ECU activates a map and the debimeter give the load.
Over other basic maps, start -up and injection, you can find other maps. These maps are
complementaries to basic maps and contribute to the calcularion of final value on the basis of
temperatures.
ALIENTECH – Str. Torino, 93 – 13100 VERCELLI (ITALY) – +39 0161/271974 – www.alientech.to - 12
A last serie of very impo rtant maps is the one that manage the overalimentation. These maps
are present on every turbo engine, excluding very first models where the pressure was handly
managed.
Imagine to trace two straigh lines (horizontal
and vertical) son values given by sensors, the
value we find in the cross point of the two
lines is the value that the software will use to
do needed calculations to have a result to
transmit to actuators. This is for ALL maps.
In this case at 1000 rpm, and at 15% of load,
the ECU uses the number 410 to do
necessary calculations.
The active maps changes related to temperature too, you have to consider that active maps
with cold engine aren't the same used with hot engine, so we have to do all the tests with the
engine at a correct running temperature.

DRIVERS
What are drivers?
The drivers are some of ECM2001 extension. They contain all the informations the the program
must know to effect the modify on the Ecu.The maps address, dimensions, area where effect
the calculations for checks um are contain drivers. The only thing that you must do is increase
and decrease the value of the injection, ignition, turbo pressure and rpm limiter.
The driver finds the map and puts it in a table according the values of rpm and load. The point
where the two value agree give to you an important data that the microprocessor uses to
calculate important values for the engine. If you know the the values of load and rpm you
know the EXACT point where you must modify.
Connecting the emulator, you'll see the trace in real time and you'll mark the effects of the
modifications on the engine.
For some Ecu with the driver, we give you start file, tha is called .MIX. It's important know that
you can always load drivers by our web site. You must do an annual subscriptio n.

 ECM2001 configuration
Alientech has projected a simple software to allow beginner users a good work. The beginner
user can map a Ecu without particular knowledge. For every Ecu we supply you DRIVERS.
These are programs that allow ECM2001 to recognize Ecu. After this operation drivers inform
to Ecu about the work that it will do with the maps. Drivers inform about algorithm that
program must use; drivers moreover instruct to emulator the type of eprom that you want
use. Without drivers, ECM2001 can work on Ecu, with hex or graphic functions, but the
beginner users could have some problems when they will map in hex or decimal without
drivers.You can use ECM2001 without drivers only if you have experience with map.
After you have started the program, you'll see this that is the opening menu.

Marking the check box, data bank allow you to download a file called like your user code
(Cxxxx_r.zip). At this point of the operation you have to use the file like for drivers. All the
families draw will be invoice, Remember it!

In this window you can choose the files by you want work. You can use all the functions that
you find in the menu'.

ECM2001 works maintain in memory the original file and a its copy to effect modification. So
it's possible compare the original file with changed file. But it's possible load in a point of the
Ecu (the memory that is called ORIGINAL) a file and load another file on the other Ecu (it's
called MODIFIED). So we will compare, for example two different modified files. loading memo

 WORKING WITH ECM2001
In this chapiter you will see how to map an ECU in static mode (WITHOUT using the emulator)
with driver need.

Step 1

First of all you have to open the ECU, remove the eprom and open the ECU, unsolder or
remove the eprom and reading it with eprom programmer. Save the eprom in the exact
directory, this operation will help you later to find the eprom and recognize it quickly.

ECM2001 is given with some basic directories; e.g.

the directory that contains original files is named:
C:\ECM2001\ORIGINAL. Inside this directory you
could create (if there aren't yet) directories showing
the name of the vehicle producer and the model.
Infact the original file of a n Alfa Romeo 147 could be
putted in C:\ECM2001 \ORIGINAL\ALFA \147
directory.

If the directory doesn't exists, is possible to create it

with Windows GESTIONE RISORSE.

If you prefer to have a directory created with your

own archieving method... no problem, you have to
tell to ECM2001 to which directories has to refer to.
.

add notes Step 2

Be sure to have the driver. If you don't, you could connect to Internet and download the
This command allow to user to add a note to a original or modified files. needed one. (See bbs-auto )

Step 3

One last cunning is needed to increase work speed. To set the search paths that will be used
will be useful to get quickly the original eprom driver. (See Options)

Step 4

Now let's get into map work: open the driver and later load original eprom. Is also possible to
load a modified file to do an eventual comparison.

At this time are active Injection, Spark advance, Turbo and LIMITATORI menu, where you will
find avaiable maps. In fact, every ECU has more maps, so not always all menues will be active.

Now you could map using preferred method: in real time o staticly, graphically or with tables
or in hex mode.

Now is important to define the charactristic of the axes horizontal and vertical in the map. Is
possible to choose the type of definition among:

In the boxes “Dim.” is necessary to put the dimension of the columns.

The box “Gap” incluedes the number of byte ECM2001 to have to jump between one column
and the other.

The box “Visualizza scambiati” changes the label on the axes.

Limiter type 9 G = N / K 2 bytes invert (Es. 581B = 7000) numbers.

Where: Ecu Code: 0.261.20x.xxx

G = rpm Code E prom: 1.267.35x.xxx

K = constant
We find the code into the eprom, find it is simple. You have to open the file with a whatever
N = hex number
editor, for example buffer editor of the Eprom programmer and search the numbers written
inside eprom programmer and search the number that yo u find written on the contrary.
Then put the constant in the box and the length of data that ca be with 8 or 16 bit.

SIEMENS - RENIX - BENDIX (only those on Renault)

On the cover of the Ecu there's a white label like in the image under here:

the code number that interest you are those in red. Look the example. (this is a Renault 19
16V).

A C-DELCO

Before only on Opel then on other cars. Their code is printed on the label paste on the eprom
(or better, on the sock enclosed the eprom). The code has 4 letters: BHPZ, BJUM, AYZT, etc.

WEBER - MARELLI and DIGIFANT

Here the code don't help you. It's better read the check sum.

FORD ECV

They have a codify like AC- DELCO. (KING, DEEP, BAAF, …)

SPARK CALCULATION EPROM

Only sometimes spark advance maps show you the exact number of degrees. This because the
number of eprom is used for a lot of calculat ions, the results will give to Ecu the spark advance
degrees. It's possible however find real degrees if you do these calculation formulas:
n = is the decimal number viewed in maps
BOSCH MOTRONIC
With 1 ignition coil and 1 distributor.
EPROM: the name indicates the characteristic of this electric memory used to contain programs
and data that allow the work of an electronic board as is the start-up/injection ECU. Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory is used in read only mode, that means that you can
program it, erase it and use it only reading contained data. Isn't impossible to modify the data
without reading them, modifying them and recording them in another virgin eprom (new one
or formatted, using an eprom eraser).
But the eprom family is very big and you can divide it in conventional eprom and flash eprom,
in the three different format DIL, PLCC, PSOP. The difference is the following:

(n - 26) x 0,66 Conventional have a transparent window on the rear that allows the cancellation
eprom through UV-exposure (eprom eraser)
e.g., if n = 58:
degrees = (58 - 26) x 0,66 then dregrees = 21,12 haven't any wi ndow and the cancellation is possible electronically through
Flash eprom an eprom programmer
with double ignition coil
DIL rectangular shaped eprom with pins on the most long sides.
PLCC almost square shaped eprom with pins on all sides.
(n - 33) x 0,75
rectangular eprom with pins on the most long sides. Different from DIL-
e. g., if n = 58 eprom because the pitch between the PSOP-pins is half than DIL's.
PSOP
degrees = (58 - 33) x 0.75 then degrees = 18,75 Moreover aren't welded in the board's rheophore, but are welded leaning
the pins directly on the CIRCUITO STAMPATO
DIGIFANT and MONOMOTRONIC
For DIGIFANT and MONOMOTRONIC Ecu, ECM unwinds all teh calculations before the view the
map, all this for a more simple work. Another subdivision of the eproms is done through the data holding capacity:
