What the Target display shows
The Target display is a small view that compares two things: the cell you have selected in the current tuning table, and where the engine is running on that table right now. As the engine moves around the table, the cursor moves with it relative to your selected cell.
Reading the colors
- Red circle: the engine is getting close to your selected cell, but isn't on it yet.
- Green: the engine is sitting closely on your selected cell. Any change you make now takes effect on the running engine straight away.
That green state is the one to watch. It's your confirmation that the change you're about to make is the change the engine will feel, so you can see the result on your AFR or knock readings immediately.
The spacebar shortcut
Press the spacebar at any time and ESP jumps your selection to the cell the engine is currently using. On a dyno, we hold the engine at a load point, tap spacebar, make the change, then wait for things to settle before moving on.
Tips
- Engines rarely sit perfectly on one cell. The ECU blends the neighboring cells, so small changes to the cells around your target matter too.
- Use the Target display alongside a 2D view or 3D view to keep the shape of the table smooth.
- See increasing and decreasing cell values for the editing hotkeys.
