Traction Control Setup 

The  following  parameters  are  adjustable;  however 
they are factory set to the most common settings, and 
should not need to be adjusted by most users. 

(These  settings  are  only  accessible  using  the 

“Traction  Control  Panel  Software”  or  Handheld 

Programmer) 

Trigger Count: 

The unit is factory set for 4 triggers per revolution, for 
8  cylinder  operation.    The  unit can  be  configured  to 
use between 1 

 9  triggers per revolution. 

 

Starting  RPM

  is  a  user  adjustable  setting  that 

allows  the  racer  to  set  the  point  at  which  the  unit 
begins making corrections.  If the Starting RPM is set 
to  5000  RPM,  then  the  unit is  active  and  monitoring 
the engine, but not making any corrections until the 
Starting  RPM  is  reached.    Once  the Starting  RPM  is 
reached,  the  unit  will  make  corrections  as  needed  
above 2000 RPM.

 

Buffer

 is another setting that can be used to fine 

tune  the  system.    The  buffer  sets  the  number  of 
consecutive  errors  required  to  cause  a  correction.  
Buffer 0 will react to each error in acceleration.  Buffer 
1 will require at least 2 consecutive slip conditions to 
cause  a  correction.  This  is  useful  to  filter  out  small 
tire slips that may occur quickly, but have no ill effect 
on the car. 

(Default=1)

 

Sample Rate

 of the unit can also be changed by 

the  user,  however  this  should  only  be  done  after 
consulting w/ tech support.  The lower the number the 
faster  the  Sample  Rate,  which  makes  the  unit  less 
sensitive, but faster to react.  The higher the number 
the  slower  the  Sample  Rate,  which  makes  the  unit
