Customising the Software
12.1 The Setup Page
The Setup window allows you to change the way the software works for you. If you alter any
of the parameters on this page, the programming software will remember the changes you have
made and they become the default settings. The next time you run the Haltech programme, the
settings will be as you left them.
The Setup Window is accessed from the Setup menu by pressing
¦s ¦s
. Or by pressing
§p §p
. Then follow the keystroke instructions outlined at the base of the windows to make
your settings.
The Data Setup window is accessed through the Options Menu by pressing
¦o ¦o
. Then
selecting
d d
. the data page window will allow you to select the data which you wish to view at
the base of the maps. This is particularly useful when using the CGA video mode as the size of
the map is reduced to allow all the engine data to be viewed. By reducing the number of data
parameters the size of the map is increased letting small changes in bars more visible.
12.1.1 The Display
The Haltech programming software has been written to suit a graphical CGA, VGA or EGA
monitor. In most cases, the programming software will detect what sort of display you have an
select the appropriate mode.
You can also choose to operate in colour or monochrome. Since many laptop computers are
not in colour, the monochrome setting should provide better contrast to read the screen.
12.1.3 Com Port
The programming software can talk to the Haltech ECU through either COM1 or COM2.
Select the com port you are using here.
