2.3 The ONLINE and OFFLINE Modes
On the F10 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 M ain Set-up 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.
RECONNECT HALTECH
If this message appears check all connections and ensure that the communications cable is not
being interfered with. Also be sure that the Haltech F10 unit is receiving power. (i.e.. ignition
switch is turned "on".)
2.5 The Main Menu
When you select ONLINE or OFFLINE mode the Haltech M AIN M ENU bar appears. This
menu bar allows access to submenus giving access to maps, file storage/retrieval, engine data
and options.
