Writing a Calibration to the Torc Module
For the changes you've made to take effect on the Torc Module, you first
must write the calibration to the unit. Connect the module to your computer
using a standard USB cord (Type A to Type B). Click the
Write Calibration
button on the toolbar to write the calibration to the controller. The Torc
Module can now be disconnected from the computer. When the Torc Module
unit is disconnected from the computer, the Write Calibration button will
be grayed out.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
How to Avoid Errors
The Shiftware software gives you complete freedom and flexibility to
customize your shifting calibration however you want. This freedom requires
diligence to avoid errors.
It is
very important that the up-shift and down-shift curves for a given gear
do not cross. The up-shift point at any throttle position should usually be at
least 15% greater than the down-shift point. For instance, if the 2-3 up-shift
point at ½-throttle is 45MPH, then the 3-2 down-shift point should usually be
less than 40MPH.
The “On-Off” differential between up-shift and down-shift points is called
Deadband (also known as Hysteresis). The more deadband you use for your
shift points, the more stable the system will be. Not using enough deadband
can result in erratic shift behavior. Too much deadband will result in sluggish
behavior due to a reluctance to down-shift.
Pay close attention to the interaction between different shifts. Overlapping
the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts can cause skipped gears and other drivability
problems.
