Haltech E6A - Manual (Page 30)

This is called a Qwerty keyboard. Some countries use an alternative, which is called and
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 :
e6a¬
to run the programming software (not the installation software), you need to instead type :
e6a/a¬
The /A tells the programme you have an Azerty keyboard. The programme will adjust
accordingly.
2.2.6 Acknowledging the Risks
Once the program begins running a title page should appear briefly and then a warning screen
will be displayed. Read the warning and only proceed if you are prepared to accept the risks
involved in tuning your own engine. Faulty tuning can be dangerous and/or can damage your
engine.
2.3 The Online and Offline Modes
On the E6A 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 fuel 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. (See 9.1)
