Setup

Elite Software Programmer › ESP - Navigation › MenusUpdated Sep 2026

The Setup menu in ESP is where the Elite ECU's configuration lives. It holds three items, and knowing which one you need saves a lot of clicking around.

What's in the Setup menu

ESP's menu bar groups the Elite ECU's configuration under Setup. It has three entries:

  • Main Setup: the ECU's full configuration, covering engine, trigger, fuel, ignition, inputs, outputs and every function. It's where you'll spend most of your time on a new install. Our Main setup article and Engine setup article are good places to start.
  • Table Setup: sets the axes for whichever table you currently have selected, for example changing the rpm or load breakpoints or choosing a different axis channel. Select the table first, then open this.
  • Security: turns map security on or off, so you can protect a finished calibration from being viewed or changed.
Tip

If you enable security, record the details somewhere safe. Losing access to your own map is a frustrating way to end a tuning session.

The other ESP menus are covered in our articles on the File, Edit and View menus. Need a screenshot of the menu layout? Ask us and we'll send it over with advice for your build.
