Explanation:
The ignition detection is the logic used to determine whether the vehicle’s engine is running. The device supports several detection methods, which can be configured in the Advanced Configurator under the Custom Ignition panel. The power supply voltage detection is used when a physical ignition wire is not connected, and the device monitors the main power supply voltage.
Guidelines:
1. In the Advanced Configurator, navigate to "Data collection" in the Engine option, set it to “Custom” and click “Customize” to open the Custom ignition window.
2. In the Custom Ignition window, select “Power supply voltage” for Parameter Selection, enter the voltage threshold value in millivolts, and then close the window.
3. From the File menu, select Generate SMS.
4. The resulting value is: setcfg 1105 32, 1106 13000, the value 1105 consists of 1 for the first profile and 105 for the custom ignition.
5. Another option is to save the modified file as a Diff and then send it via DMP; this will update only the values that have been changed.
6. The complete file can be saved if additional modifications are made, and it can also be sent via DMP.
Expected outcome: Once the command or the file is sent, the device will be able to detect the ignition as a voltage threshold through the Custom ignition IO.
