Among the channels that can be configured, there are also those of oil and fuel warning lights. In 
both  cases,  the  system  prompts  to  make  two  measurements,  for  example,  considering  the  fuel 
level,  in  reserve  and  full  tank.  The  software  will  then  identify  the  threshold  as  the  central  value 
between these two values. In the case of gasoline it is recommended to use as measurements two 
conditions  near  to  the  reserve  to  set  a  precise  value.  As  an  example,  choose  as  the  first 
measurement a condition in which a liter of fuel is still missing until the original warning light switch 
off. Made this first step, add two liters to make the second measurement. In this way, the central 
value will be exactly the correct reserve level. This method is even more important for bikes which 
fuel level sensor is not a linear sensor. 

17. Carburetion analysis 

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

Through  this  menu  the  tracing  of  carburetion  can  be  enabled.  Firstly,  choose  which  channel  is 
connected  to  the  TPS  and  which  to  the  Lambda  probe.  Please  note:  both  channels  must  be 
already configured, the TPS must be between 0 and 100 with the throttle closed and open, and the 
Lambda  probe  must  show  the  correct  stoichiometric  ratio  or  lambda  value  (by  appropriately 
configuring the minimum and maximum values of the respective channel).  

It is then necessary to enable tracing. The analysis will be active all the time the equipment stays 
on.  At  the  shutdown  data  will  be  erased.  The  collected  data  can  be  analyzed  directly  from  the 
special screen on the Chrome "Table Display results" or can be exported and analyzed on a PC.  

 

18. Alarms management

 

Using  the  “alarms  management”  menu  it 
is  possible  to  set  the  behavior  of  each 
LED included in Chrome. The brightness 
of the LEDs can be chosen among three 
different  levels:  low,  medium  and  high. 
Use  the  "brightness  test"  function  to 
check  the  chosen  light  intensity. 

“RPM” 

mode  automatically  sets  the  upper 
LEDs,  the  system  will  split  the  range 
set in the “RPM” menu in equal parts.

 

The  upper  LEDs  will  be  turned  on  when 
the  RPMs  rise,  one  by  one,  and  will  be 

completely  powered  on  when  the  RPMs  reach  the  maximum.  The  threshold  of  each  LED  is  still
