2.2.5 Azerty Keyboards
Most countries use a keyboard where the first six letter keys across the top row are :
qwerty
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:
E6K¬
to run the programming software (not the installation software), you need to instead type :
E6K/a¬
The /A tells the program you have an Azerty keyboard. The program will adjust accordingly.
2.3 The ONLINE and OFFLINE Modes
On the E6K 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 cannot be used to make lasting adjustments to the fuel maps except by modifying maps
then saving those maps and re-loading them to the ECU in the on-line mode. Also lasting
changes to the main, fuel and identification pages cannot be made in the OFFLINE mode. Do
not attempt to make lasting changes to the ECU 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)
Note: If power is removed or the communication cable is disconnected or
interfered with, the following message will be displayed on the computer
screen.
