This menu leads you to all of the retard function menus that the ignition  

is capable of programming including; Step Retards, Launch Retards, 

Start, the Run Curve, Step Delays and Gear Retards.
The menu to set the three rev limits; RevBurn, RevMax and RevLaunch.
The rpm setting that will activate a circuit to turn it on. Adjustable from 

2,000 – 12,500 rpm. Default is 2,000 rpm.

The rpm setting that will deactivate a circuit to turn it off.  Adjustable 

from 2,000 to 12,500 rpm. Default is 6,000 rpm.
This is the menu where you program the entire rpm curve in 100 rpm 

increments of 0.1° from 0 to 25.0°. This is active in gears 2-6.
This is the amount of time that a menu stays on the screen when it 

is in the Monitor mode. It is adjustable from 1 – 9 seconds. Default is 

1 second.

The amount of time that the retard(s) will remain active after the circuit 

is deactivated. If a retard is activated through a nitrous solenoid, then 

the  nitrous is shut off, this delay will leave the retard rate active for 

0-2.5 seconds. Default is 0.5-second.

This is the rpm setting that the Shift Light is activated. You can program 

five different values (ShiftLt1, 2…) from 2,000 – 12,500 rpm.

The amount of timing retard being used during cranking. Adjustable 

from 0° - 25° in 1° increments.
Same as the Monitor list and function, allows items to be scanned or 

skipped.
This is the first of three step retards that are activated either by their 

corresponding wires when supplied with 12 volts or by rpm activation.
