SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The software is supplied on CDROM media or in
the form of a compressed file downloaded from our
website. The installation process uses InstallShield.
This industry standard installer is based the new
Microsoft Windows Installer service that greatly
reduces potential problems such as version conflicts
and allows for application self-repair. Since Windows
98 systems did not originally include the Windows
Installer service, the required installer software is
included in the distribution media.
Before proceeding with installation, shutdown any
other applications that may be running. For Windows
Vista, you must disable the User Account Control
(UAC) during installation. If you are not familiar with the
UAC, please refer to the Vista UAC Tech Note on our
website's Tech FAQ for details.
Use the Windows Explorer or the Run command
from the Windows Start Menu to launch setup.exe in the
TCFI_Log folder on the CDROM or the setup.exe file
downloaded from our website. InstallShield will install the
software in an appropriate folder under Program Files.
Once InstallShield has completed the
installation, TCFI Log will appear on the Windows Start
Menu. You can then launch it just as you would any
other Windows program.
TCFI Log requires the Monospace 821 BT fixed
pitch printer font in order to properly align columns
when printing. The Monospace 821 BT font is included
in the distribution media and automatically copied to
your Windows Fonts folder during installation. A
backup copy is also placed in the program folder. If you
accidentally delete this font, use the Install New Font
command from the Fonts folder File menu. The
filename associated with Monospace 821 BT is
monos.ttf.
TCFI CONNECTION
If you are using the new USB Interface, refer to
the supplied instructions for details. No additional
hardware is required.
If you are using the original RS-232 PC link
cable, connect the cable to the OE data link connector
and PC serial port. The OE data link uses a four
terminal Deutsch connector that is usually found near
the TCFI unit.
Turn the ignition key and engine run/stop
switches on to provide power to the TCFI unit. Do not
start the engine if you want to download data.
If the TCFI unit has been removed from the
motorcycle, you can do bench top programming by
using an adapter harness (P/N TCFI-ADAPT) that
includes a small 12 volt DC power supply.
COM1 is used as the default port. If you are
using a different COM port, use the Port Setup
command on the Communications Menu.
REAL TIME ENGINE DATA DISPLAY
When the engine is running, you can display real
time engine data on an instrument panel type screen
by using the View Real Time Data command on the
View menu. Please note that real time engine data
cannot be directly saved by means of the TCFI Log
program. However, this data is constantly being logged
by the TCFI unit and can be downloaded (for example
at the end of series of dyno runs).
Real time engine data is displayed on an
instrument panel type layout with round tach and
speedometer gauges and bar graph type gauges for
most other parameters. Barometric pressure (In-Hg),
any diagnostic codes, status of the user output, and
status messages are displayed in additional windows.
If the engine is not running most values will appear as
zero.
Displayed parameters include:
RPM
– engine crankshaft RPM (numeric value
displayed beneath gauge)
VSS
– vehicle speed in MPH (numeric value
displayed beneath gauge)
TPS
– throttle position (0 to 100%)
MAP
– manifold pressure in In-Hg (29.92 In-Hg
corresponds to atmospheric pressure)
ET
– engine cylinder head temperature (deg C)
IAT
– intake air temperature (deg C)
BAT
– battery voltage
IAC
– idle air control stepper motor position
(higher number means more idle air)
