done, no output will be activated.

FuelTech ECUs leave the factory without maps or adjustments, so you
need to create the injection maps, ignition and the inputs and outputs
settings before running the engine.
The FuelTech Default is an automatic calculation of the basic injection
and ignition maps for your engine based on the information provided
in the “Engine Settings”. Performing this automatic adjustment every
injection and ignition maps, including temperature compensation, etc.
will be filled based on your engine characteristics.
The information provided must be correct and consistent, maximum
RPM and boost values should be according to the engine capacity and
the injectors should be properly sized to the estimated engine power.
The use of an instrument, such as oxygen sensor (wideband
recommended) and/or an analyzer of exhaust gases, to make the
analysis of the air/fuel mixture is extremely important.
Caution, especially in the start-up, is needed, since it is an initial tune
that will meet most engines, there are no guarantees for any situation.
Be extreme cautious when tuning your engine, never requires high
loads before it a good tune.
Start tuning with a rich map and a conservative timing, because starting
with a lean map and advanced timing can severely damage the engine.
To create a default map by FTManager, click the “File” menu and
then “New” to start the wizard. The menu “Engine Settings” will be
passed in sequence.
Check in later chapters the descriptions of all these options required
to complete the step by step and create the default map.
To generate a new map through the touchscreen, just get in a setting
that is empty and a message appears telling you that the setting is
empty and asking if you want to create a new tune.
