SAVES AND TRANSFERS
Whenever a change is made to a program, it either must be saved to your PC as part of the
file you are programming or it must be saved/transferred to the MSD. The software gives you
the choice of automatically transferring the change to the MSD or the PC.
Save to MSD: By saving the change right to the MSD, the new change is automatically put
into the Controller.
Save to PC: This saves the changes on your PC screen only. The information still must be
transferred to the MSD before it becomes active or saved to a file.
You can create numerous files with different options on our PC and download them at the
track for testing.
Note: When setting the static timing the timing must be set 4°advanced from maximum run
timing, this allows the IgnComp to automatically function to remove all timing retard caused
by pickups, ignition delays and coil rise-time delays.
Setting running ignition timing: Attach the inductive lead from the timing light to the number
one ignition wire. Set the desired timing by moving the primary pickup on it’s slotted bracket.
Now attach the inductive lead to the second cylinder (in the firing order) ignition wire and posi-
tion the secondary pickup to your desired timing. Both pickups are now phased 180° apart.
