Today I'm going to discuss the individual configuration files in library.
The global folder consists of ICFs.
Your going to always have, what I call, the core 5 ICFs, and they're going to be fuel,
sensor, system, idle, and spark.
If one of these ICFs is missing from your global file the engine's just not going to
make any noise.
You have additional ICFs such as trans control, water meth, boost control, traction control,
the advanced ICFs and the custom IOs, and those are added ICFs that you can not only
add but remove from files to suit your needs.
Let's take a look at this in the software, I'm going to show you guys how to manage and
work with those individual configuration files.
Managing our ICFs is pretty straight forward and simple.
If we look at the top of our software screen at the tool bar, we'll see our core 5 ICFs
for fuel, sensor, system, idle, and spark.
In this example I have 3 additional ICFs loaded for custom inputs and outputs, boost control,
and drive by wire.
If I want to add an additional ICF for example transmission control, I would do so by simply
going to tool box, add individual config, and this will open up my individual configuration
library.
I can then select the ICF that I want to load.
In this case I'll load a transmission ICF by selecting the transmission tab and picking
from one of the available options.
So I'm running a turbo, I'm going to go ahead and select the 4LADE forced induction calibration
because that will work out pretty close with my 4LADE.
By double clicking the option, you will now see that I have a transmission ICF icon at
the top of the screen.
You may find that you need to remove an ICF.
One of the things that you'll always want to be conscious of is what ICF are loaded
with the current global folder.
If it's an ICF loaded that your not going to utilize, it's a good practice to go ahead
and remove it.
An example of this drive by wire ICF, if I was going to utilize a cable operated throttle
body and not a drive by wire electronic throttle body, this is going to cause me some issues
when I try to do a TPS auto set as this ICF being present will cause it to fail.
To remove an ICF you can do so by simply going back to tool box, go down to remove individual
config, and then come across and select the ICF that you want to remove.
In this case I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to remove the drive by wire ICF.
As you can see it's no longer present.
When your adding or removing ICFs, you need to have a thorough understanding of what they
do and how it can impact your operation of your vehicle with your current global folder.
The advanced ICF option is one of those in particular.
Before you do anything in advanced ICF, you need to fully read and understand this warning.
If you don't agree with it, and you don't have a 100 percent understanding of what your
intending to do with in the advanced ICF, you don't want to hit ok.
At that point you want to go ahead and hit cancel.
If you want to export modified individual configuration files back to the ICF library,
you can do this by selecting file, export GF to library of ICFs, you can then select
the ICF that you want to export, and label it accordingly.
I'm going to label a couple of these as A and hit ok.
Then if you were to view the library of ICFs, go back into add individual config and open
the file, you can now see that A would have been an available option for fuel ICF.
