  • Electronic throttle outputs. Can be used for other functions if not using electronic throttle.
• Each auxiliary output can be used for a variety of different functions.
• Virtual auxiliary channels which can be used to consider up to three conditions and then switch to be active. The state of the virtual auxiliary channel can then be used to control outputs or other ECU functions.
• Timer functions which can be used to add a time condition to the control of an output or other ECU function.
• Unused auxiliary fuel and ignition channels can be used for the control of other ECU outputs.
• Auxiliary output channels are able to be set to a general purpose output function where up to three conditions can be used to control the output.

• Auxiliary output channels are able to be set to drive either low (ground) or high (+v).

Digital Inputs

• For receiving input signals which are either off or on.
• Two types of digital input channel:
  • ON/OFF type signals that do not switch back and forth rapidly. Examples include a brake switch, an air conditioning request, and a transmission neutral/park switch.
  • Frequency type signals, these are ON/OFF type signals that switch rapidly. Examples include wheel speed signals, variable valve timing cam position signals, and ethanol sensor signals. Frequency type digital input channels are also capable of receiving normal (slower) ON/OFF type signals.
• Each digital input channels has an optional pull-up resistor. This allows the digital channel to receive signals that switch to ground or to +v.

Analog Inputs

• For receiving input signals that vary in resistance or voltage.
• Analog temperature channels that are used for receiving a signal that varies in resistance with temperature. Examples include engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature, and fuel temperature signals. These channels have a selectable internal pull-up resistor that can be used for piggy-back type installations.
• Analog volt channels that are used for receiving a signal that varies in voltage from 0 to 5 volts. Examples include throttle position, manifold pressure, and oil pressure signals. These channels can also be used with temperature sensors but require an external pullup resistor to be installed.
• Calibration tables to support sensors for which a defined calibration does not already exist. This allows the tuner to enter data and get the sensor working quickly.
• Fault settings function that assists in identifying when a sensor or sensor wiring has an open circuit or short circuit occur. Each analog channel has its normal lower and upper voltage levels defined by the tuner, when the ECU measures a voltage outside this range it will use a substitute value entered by the tuner. This allows the engine to continue running until a repair can be done.

Trigger Inputs

• For receiving information on engine position.
• Support for crankshaft and camshaft position sensors
• Optical, hall, or reluctor type position sensors are able to be used.
• Over 80 pre-defined trigger modes for many common engines from around the world.
• Three configurable trigger patterns that can be used for unsupported engine types.
• Four filter levels to remove interference and noise from the trigger signals.
• Trigger arming threshold table where the minimum signal voltage can be defined so that low voltage noise on the trigger signal will be ignored.
• Calibration function that assists the user to set the base timing of the engine.

Motorsport

• Anti-lag - for reducing turbo lag when stepping off and back onto the throttle. Switched or always on arming system. Lockout conditions based upon engine speed and throttle position. Switchable dual anti-lag tables available for different scenarios. Optional cyclic idle mode.
• Launch control - four modes for obtaining the best off the line performance in different scenarios:
  • Single Launch RPM - for launch control based on a switch condition, normally clutch switch. Uses a single launch engine speed for more simple setup. Does not require a vehicle speed input.
  • 2D Launch RPM table - for launch control based on vehicle speed. The ECU adjusts launch engine speed based on the current non-driven wheel speed.
  • 3D Launch RPM table - the ECU selects the launch engine speed from a 3D table with configurable axis options. This allows the tuner to add an extra dimension of control to the launch engine speed.
  • Latched Launch RPM - for use in rolling start races.
• Gear shift control - to allow for quick gear changes.
  • Options for starting gear shift control include digital input (clutch switch), gear lever force (sequential gearbox), gear lever force (H pattern gearbox), or gear barrel position sensor.
  • Options for ending gear shift control include time, digital input, or gear barrel position.
  • Different settings for type of gear shift: driven up shift, driven down shift, overrun up shift, and overrun down shift.
  • Gear lever force calibration for calibration of strain lever output (volts to newtons).
  • Support for throttle blipping by throttle blip solenoid or by electronic throttle.
  • Lockout conditions for engine speed, throttle position, and driven wheel speed.
• Traction Control - controlled tyre slip to improve vehicle safety and driveability.
  • Lockout conditions for engine speed, throttle position, and non-driven wheel speed.
  • The tuner is able to specify the amount of tyre slip allowed per gear before traction control activates. Once activated the traction control system will control engine torque to maintain the slip specified.
  • A second switchable traction control table which can be used for different road or track conditions.

Idle Speed Control

• Supports idle speed control by idle solenoid, idle stepper motor, or electronic throttle.
• Idle speed control has two modes available:
  • Open loop mode in which the ECU sets the position of the the idle control device for a given engine coolant temperature.
  • Closed loop mode in which the actual idle speed is compared to the target idle speed and the ECU then adjusts the idle control device to correct for the difference between the two.
• Able to adjust idle when additional load from engine fans, power steering, or air-conditioning use is detected.
• A start-up step table in which the tuner can specify an extra amount of opening by the idle control device during engine starting to help the engine start easier.

Electronic Throttle Control

• Support for electronic throttle bodies and foot position sensors.
• Uses a 3D electronic throttle target table with configurable axis in which the desired percentage of throttle opening is specified by the tuner.
• Capable of having a throttle position that does not match the foot position. Useful for helping maintain traction.
• Up to three switchable electronic throttle target tables for different driving conditions. Useful for switching to a more aggressive or gentle throttle response.
• Multiple safety condition checks that are continuously carried out to monitor the electronic throttle system for faults. Upon a fault being detected the system restricts the engine speed.
