Load Cell

Load Cell

The Load Cell node is only available if Trigger Options > Input Select is set to Load Cell.

Load Cell Up shift



Voltage - This is the voltage read by the ECU from the Load Cell when the shifter is in the up shift position. To calibrate this voltage, reset the ECU, reopen the Flat Shift function, push the shifter into the up shift position and click the calibrate button. The calibration should be displayed automatically.

Hysteresis - The Load Cell voltage must drop below or exceed the up shift Calibration by this much before the shifter is considered to have returned to the rest position or be out of range. This is to account for signal noise and slight shifter movement. Suggested values for the Hysteresis is half of the distance between an up shift calibration and the rest position voltage.

Load Cell Down Shift



Voltage - This is the voltage read by the ECU from the Load Cell when the shifter is in the down shift position. To calibrate this voltage, reset the ECU, reopen the Flat Shift function, push the shifter into the downshift position and click the calibrate button. The calibration should be displayed automatically.

Hysteresis - The Load Cell voltage must drop below or exceed the down shift Calibration by this much before the shifter is considered to have returned to the rest position or be out of range. This is to account for signal noise and slight shifter movement. Suggested values for the Hysteresis is half of the distance between an down shift calibration and the rest position voltage.
