7. Warning if ECU Bridge uses OBDII protocol it is suggested lo set GPS speed as reference speed because speed ona is limited to 255 km h Once the configuration transmitted to ECU Bridge the system is ready for the learning lap that samples speed and RPM signals needed to perform the gear computation www aim sportline com 12 ECU Bridge Cli TD User Manual ane Release 1 08 Racing Data Power 3 2 3 Learning lap During the learning lap follow carefully these instructions start driving ensuring that the street is clear engage all gears in sequence keep each gear engaged for at least 5 6 seconds drive in a smooth way avoiding sudden accelerations slips or wheel blocks in braking RPM should increase gradually e engage all gears and switch of the vehicle or ECU Bridge once the last gear reached if this is not possible shift the gears each 5 6 seconds engaging the clutch for the minimum time 3 2 4 Erasing gear calibration To clear gear calibration use Race Studio 2 software The procedure is the same performed to set calculated gears but in spite of Calculated highlighted by 4 in the previous image set None and transmit the configuration to ECU Bridge To re compute the engaged gear select again Calculated option and transmit the configuration ECU Bridge is again ready for a new calibration 3 3 Configuring the displays To see data sampled by ECU Bridge it is possible to con
