Rev counter calibration?

[nakedninja900]

Hi All
This may be a stupid question but how do I change the scale on the rev counter in Megatune ,its on a ZXR 900 motorycle which redlines at 11000 and the scale at the moment is at 8000 max?
Also I cant find the "settings" tab according to the Megamanual but I do find very similar settings in the "advance settings" of the ignition settings. Are the tabs slightly different on the Microsquirt compared to the Megamanual?
Thanks

nn900,

8000 is not a limit, it is just the maximum on the gauge that TS shows. The controller will happily exceed that and nothing bad will happen because of the gauge. However, you can set the gauge to show whatever range you like. You edit the INI to do this. Using a text editor (like notepad.exe) find a line in the [GaugeConfigurations] section of the mainController.ini like this:

Code: Select all

   tachometer        = rpm,           "Engine Speed",       "RPM",     0,  8000,    300,   500, 5000, 6000, 0, 0

then change "8000" to 11000 or any other value you prefer. You can also change the "5000" and "6000" values too, if you want to alter the engine speeds at which the warning and danger colors are displayed on the gauge. So you might end up with something like this:

Code: Select all

   tachometer        = rpm,           "Engine Speed",       "RPM",     0, 11000,    300,   500, 10000, 10500, 0, 0

Save the file, then check that the gauge is configured how you prefer, and go and ride!

There is more info on the field values for the gauges in the INI itself.
