2.2.5 Azerty Keyboards


Most countries use a keyboard where the first six letter keys across the top row are :

θωερτψ


This is called a Qwerty keyboard. Some countries use an alternative, which is called an
Azerty keyboard, where the Q and W keys are swapped with the A and Z keys respectively. If
you have an Azerty keyboard, you need to run the software slightly differently. When you
would normally type :

ΙΓ5←


to run the programming software (not the installation software), you need to type:

ΙΓ5/α←


The /A tells the program you have an Azerty keyboard. The program will adjust accordingly.

2.3 The Online and Offline Modes


On the IG5 system title page, the software asks whether to operate in ONLINE or OFFLINE
mode. The Offline mode is very useful to familiarise yourself with the Haltech software, but
should not be used to make lasting adjustments to the ignition maps unless there is a special
reason for doing so. If you wish to experiment and familiarise yourself with the software
press N for Offline mode, but if the ECU is installed and power is available then we suggest
the Online mode be selected. Press Y to select online mode.

2.4 Using the System Online


In the Online mode there is a two-way flow of information between the ECU and the
programming computer. The communication cable must be installed and power must be
available to the ECU before the system can communicate. The Online mode will be used
most frequently. While using the system Online, you can view engine information directly
and make adjustments. Any changes or modifications made on the computer are
instantaneous and will be immediately recorded in the ECU. When the programming cable is
removed and the ignition switched off, the ECU will retain all of its memory. The maps do
not need to be saved, but keeping a copy on disk is always good practice and is recommended.

Note: If power is removed or the communication cable is disconnected or

interfered with, the following message will be displayed on the computer

screen.
