CHAPTER 12 SOFTWARE SETTINGS
12.1 The Program Set-up window
The Set-up window allows you to change the way the software works for you. If you alter any
of the parameters on this page, the programming software will remember the changes you
have made and they become the default settings. The next time you run the Haltech program,
the settings will be as you left them.
To access the Program Set-up window press Alt – S to open the Set-up menu then scroll to the
Program Set-up menu item and press enter. This opens the Program Set-up window.
12.1.1 The Display
The Haltech programming software has been written to suit a graphical CGA, VGA or EGA
monitor. In most cases, the programming software will detect what sort of display you have
and select the appropriate mode.
You can also choose to operate in colour or monochrome. Since many laptop computers are
not in colour, the monochrome setting should provide better contrast to read the screen.
12.1.2 Com Port
The programming software can communicate with the Haltech ECU through either COM 1 or
COM 2. Select the com port you are using here.
12.2 Data Display Settings
To access the Data page Set-up window press Alt – O to open the Options menu then scroll to
the Data page Set-up menu item and press enter. This opens the Program Set-up window.
The data page window will allow you to select the data which you wish to view in the data
windows at the base of the maps and in the engine data page. This is particularly useful when
using the CGA video mode as the size of the map is reduced to allow all the engine data to be
viewed. By reducing the number of data parameters the size of the map is increased letting
small changes in bars more visible.
