Improper ignition tuning may cause severe engine damage, resulting in personal injury.1) InstallationInsert the CurveMaker CD into your CD ROM drive. Open the CD in Windows Explorer. Double click on the Setup icon to begin installation. You may have to disable anti-virus software at this time.The Setup program first checks to see if the computer has the correct Java version already installed. If it does not, the correct version is installed. Allow the Java program to be installed into the default directory. Once this is done, there is a choice between a complete and custom installation. The custom installation allows installation of only the files needed for the ignitions you plan on programming. The complete installation installs the files for all of the ignitions. The program will be installed to the C:\Program Files\Dynatek folder by default. Do not change this setting. The installation program will create a Program group named “Dynatek”. To find it, click the Windows Start button, then click “Programs” on the menu that appears. When you click on “Programs” another menu will appear, and “Dynatek” will be one of the choices. Click “Dynatek”, and another menu will appear. This menu will contain the icons for the ignitions that were installed. Click on the icon for the ignition to be programmed, and the CurveMaker program will start.Some computers may not be able to complete the setup program. If the setup program fails before or during the installation of the Java Virtual Machine, there is a second method to try. On the CD in a folder labeled contents, is the file: jre-1_3_1-09-windows-i586-i.exe. Install this program first, then restart your machine, and then run the setup program again.2) OverviewThe DynaFS programmable ignition comes with standard default curves installed. With the CurveMaker software, these curves can be reprogrammed. The rev limit and other ignition specific functions can also be reprogrammed.2Once the ignition curve is programmed into the ignition, it cannot be downloaded from the ignition. This allows tuners and race teams to make their curves, program customer’s ignitions with them, and still keep them proprietary. 1 About, which is the title screen for the software, 2-5 Timing Curve tabs 1,2,3 &4 which shows the WOT and PT curves, as well as other settings, 6 Diagnostics, which shows all the operating information that the ignition records, and 7 Config, which is used to set Rev Limit and RPM activated switch settings, and TPS on some models.3) IntroductionThe About page displays the program description and contact information for Dynatek. This is the screen that the software displays initially. Example: (2004 YFZ450)3The Timing Curve pages display the ignition Timing Map, which is the wide open throttle (WOT) and part throttle (PT) advance curves created from the Ignition Timing Break Points that can be adjusted by the user. The Ignition Map also displays the programmed rev-limit as a thin vertical red line (shown here as 11,500 rpm). The Map also displays the on & off RPMs for the two separate Blue and White rpm activated window switches (more on this in the Config Tab). This page also has a user editable Curve Description field. Once all of the curves and configs are set, the ignition is programmed by pressing the Send Curves button.The Load and Save Curve buttons allow you to save and reload all of the information that you have programmed. It will save the WOT and PT curve for the map that is selected. The Load and Save Curve buttons will not save rev- limit information,or RPM activated switch settings, or TPS settings (tps is model specific). These settings have to be saved in the Config page. The program will always load the default curves and settings when it is first executed. The user must Load their custom curves and custom Config settings whenever the Curve Maker program is run. More on this later.4) Programming a CurveWhen you reprogram the ignition, it programs all of the ignition settings with all of the information from the program. So before you program it, make sure all the curves are set as you want them, and that all of the other Config settings are correct as well.4The timing curve is broken up into Wide Open Throttle (WOT) and Part Throttle (PT) timing curves. To select which of these curves to adjust, click the tab on the right side of the screen corresponding to WOT or PT. For engines not originally equipped w。
