CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1
General Information
Thunder Heart SMART LINK III software gives you complete control of your
ignition system. The software enables the user to fine-tune the front and rear
spark curves to squeeze every ounce of horsepower from your high
performance V-twin engine. Rev limits and other parameters are also
adjustable using the software.
Note: Not all software features presented in this manual will be available in all
software and ignition products!
1.2
System Requirements
The SMART LINK III software is designed to run on personal computers
using Microsoft® Windows 98SE™ or later operating systems. Connection to
an RS232 serial port via a Thunder Heart Performance ASM2100C interface
cable is required when editing the module settings.
Note: If your computer is not equipped with a serial port, you will need to purchase
a USB-to-RS232 adapter from your local electronics retailer, such as
RadioShack®
Note: Some computers equipped with a serial port may have difficulty connecting
to the ignition module. If you are experiencing such difficulty, and your
computer is equipped with a USB port, use a USB-to-RS232 adapter and
connect to the ignition module via the USB port.
