Keyboard Shortcuts
02.02
| 00:00 | - PC Link lets us totally configure every aspect of the ECU but once the initial setup is done you will need to actually tune the fuel and ignition tables. |
| 00:09 | To help speed up the tuning, there are a number of keyboard shortcuts to help you navigate around. |
| 00:14 | These are really valuable and it is worth spending some time getting familiar with them, it will save you a lot of time in the long run. |
| 00:21 | I'm going to talk about the main shortcuts that you will tend to use every time you're tuning. |
| 00:26 | There is no right or wrong way to use PC Link and as you get accustomed to using the software you may find other shortcuts that you like to use. |
| 00:34 | For a full list of the shortcuts, you can click on keyboard shortcuts in the drop down help menu here. |
| 00:40 | We have already seen one of the most common shortcuts which is the F3 function key which connects or disconnects to the ECU. |
| 00:49 | You can also make use of the F4 key to store the current changes into the ECU and the F2 key to save the map to a file on your laptop. |
| 00:58 | If you press the F2 key to save your map, PC Link will initially prompt you to enter a file name. |
| 01:04 | After naming the file, continuing to press F2 will write to the same file. |
| 01:09 | Remember here that if you don't store your changes, they will be lost if you reset the ECU. |
| 01:14 | When we are tuning, one of the most common tasks is to swap between the fuel and ignition tables. |
| 01:20 | You can do this quickly by pressing F for fuel or I for ignition. |
| 01:25 | Once we have selected the table we want to adjust, we can press the space bar to jump to the active cell. |
| 01:32 | This is the cell that the ECU is currently using. |
| 01:35 | A little later on we'll look at some more keyboard shortcuts that specifically deal with how we enter numbers into the maps. |
| 01:42 | If we make changes to the map, the cells we have changed are marked blue. |
| 01:46 | This lets us keep track of which cells have been altered. |
| 01:49 | You can clear these marked cells by pressing the F9 key, they will also be cleared any time you perform a store. |
