Edit

Elite Software Programmer › ESP - Navigation › MenusUpdated Sep 2026

The Edit menu in ESP holds nearly every tool you use to change a tuning table on a Haltech Elite. Knowing what each one does, and which are worth a keyboard shortcut, makes tuning sessions quicker and cleaner. Here's our rundown.

What's in the Edit menu

ESP's Edit menu is where the table editing tools live. Most of them work on whatever cells you've highlighted in the current table, so it pays to get comfortable with selecting cells first. We've grouped the commands by job rather than listing them in menu order.

History and clipboard

CommandWhat it doesOur tip
UndoReverses your most recent table changeYour best friend when a percentage change hits the wrong cells
RedoPuts back the change you just undid
Copy / PasteCopies the highlighted values and drops them somewhere elseGreat for moving a tuned row to a similar area, then refining

Changing table size

  • Insert Row/Column: adds a breakpoint to the selected table.
  • Delete Row/Column: removes the selected breakpoint(s).

Adding a breakpoint where the engine changes character, like where boost comes in, gives you finer control there. See modifying tuning tables for more.

Nudging values

There are three step sizes each way: Increase Value and Decrease Value at normal size, plus Small and Large versions. We use the small step for fine fuel trimming on the dyno and the large step for roughing in a new area.

Setting values directly

CommandWhat it doesOur tip
Value ChangeReplaces the selected cells with a number you typeQuick way to set a whole region flat
Percentage ChangeRaises or lowers the selected cells by a percentageThe go-to for fuel, since lambda error is proportional
LineariseEvens out values in a straight line across the selectionSmooths steps between two known-good cells
Copy Left / Right / Up / DownCopies the current cell's value into the neighboring cell in that directionGood for filling in untouched cells while you work across the map

Quick Tune

With a wideband O2 sensor enabled, Quick Tune corrects the fuel cell the ECU is using right now, based on measured lambda versus target. Quick Tune - Above does the same and also applies the change to cells at higher RPM and load, which speeds up roughing in a new map. Use it on steady-state cells with a warmed-up engine, and always sanity-check the result. See the ESP Quicktune feature for the full method.

Find

Find opens a search bar, handy when you'd rather type than scroll.

Save as you go

Undo is useful, but it isn't a backup. Save a copy of the map before any big editing session so you can always get back to a known-good file.

The other ESP menus are covered in File, View and Tools.
