The pictures below show the various programing screens available in the MC software.
Unfortunately SOC % calculations were not added to the system until integretion with the PCM and BPCM in later units.

Magne Charge - LPI programing
The following images
represent the various
user controlled
charge programing
capabilities of the
early (pre 1997) GM
Magne Charge units.
Programing is
embedded in the
car-side controller
unit and can be
modified via a WIN98
or earlier PC with
EV.00.e software. An
external MAX232
serial adapter and
appropriate DB & DE9
cabling is required.
Interestingly, GM
setup the units to only
accept
reprogramming when
the paddle is inserted
and the unit is
operating.
Reprogramming then
takes affect after the
paddle is removed
and reinserted.
Consequently, if you
are reprogramming
an old unit from a
completely different
configuration, it may
be difficult to keep
your unit running long
enough to accept the
new configuration
before shutting down.
