The fifth mode enables an internal counter that is increased by each
pulse sent out by the Gear shift output (Drag Race Features menu).
This mode cannot detect downshifts and requires the 2-step to be
used to reset the counter; therefore it is best suited for drag race cars.

15.11 Nitrous bottle pressure
This menu gathers the settings to read nitrous bottle pressure. This way
is possible do compensate fuel according to the bottle pressure. To read
the bottle pressure you must use a PS1500 sensor or a similar one.
15.12 Clutch position
In this menu are the settings to read the clutch position. A potentiometer
must be used, similar to a TPS. After the wiring done, the calibration
is required.

15.14 Ride Height
This function allows to read the front end height from the ground. The
wheelie control is based on this input and you can find more on this
at Chapter 20.9. Normally, a laser height sensor is used.

15.15 Pitch Rate
This function reads the rate at the front end pitches and is given by
degrees per second.
Through FTManager, all the sensors above can be configured in the
“Sensors and Calibration” menu, then “Inputs”.
15.16 CAN communication
In this menu is possible to configure all the equipment connected to
the CAN network. There are 2 different CAN protocols. Below is the
compatibility of each protocol:
-
FTCAN 1.0: GearController (until V2.17), BoostController,
KnockMeter, Racepak IQ3 and AiM Dashes;
-
FTCAN 2.0: GearController (after V2.20) EGT-8 CAN; WB-O2
Nano and WB-O2 Slim;
CAN network supports up to 32 sensors of each product.
