Microtech lt16c off RX8 Piggy back switched to stand alone

Hey Boys and girls me again.

So dumped the standard PCM due to the many upgrades required to run my setup and opted to get a Microtech LT16C off my mate as he upgraded.

Back story the LT16 was setup to run on a standard 13b rx8 as a piggy back to the PCM, ran and worked for the application 100%.

New application is to run it as a stand alone ECU running only ignition and fuel ive wired it all up and during testing found i have a negitive on my signal wire to the igniter box,
me running standard RX8 coils have a 3 wire coil = Ignition positive , Ground and a positive stitching or signal required .. coils have been bench tested and work fine this way.

My question:
is there a way to change the ECU signal from NEG to POS via the handheld or PC in the tuning / setup screens ? - i see its required to be setup that way on the Microtech wiring diagram ( attached image )
Alternativly i could purchase two wire coil i just need to be certian on my train of though here.

What coils was it running before?

can't use the X4 box with smart coils...

X4 box uses 2 wire dumb coils as the X4 is the ignitor

Some things like trigger type are hard coded at Microtech... but if it was running stock coils and trigger before if will run now

Cheers mate,

Awesome that's the exact info i was looking for should have asked here ages ago instead of spending the last week on google ,
MicroTech boys weren't that helpful either basically said they dont know how the ECU was setup due to not purchasing through them and stopped answering my mails ...
My mate did a bit to his RX8 and he upgraded his coils to assist with better spark, asked him this morning his running the Bosch HEC-715 so ill hit up some local dealers and see if i can get my hands on some.
