you are correct the dyna ignition uses a old school serial connection. off the top of my head I think its pin 3 data TXD goes to the tach wire pin 2 RXD goes to the voes wire and pin 5 is ground. most new computers don't use serial connections anymore that's why you need a usb to serial converter

I know... just felt like being a d**k because I can't get into the minutia of electronic tuning. I have the power vision for my tc96 and it just makes my head hurt. This is why I'm going back to the evo; to simplify.

after hours on the dyno trying to get the AFR right and then taking it out for a ride gets you close but real time monitoring is way better and when I get it dialed in ill put plugs in the bungs on my exhaust and remove it and put it on the shelf for the next build

when Im riding if I notice any ping or spark knock I look at my tach when I get home I plug it in and remove a little advance from the curve at that rpm
it took a few weeks to dial it in but now im getting max advance without detonation.
