DX5 Pro Launch Control Instructions

And Tuning Tips

Reset All Option

“RESET ALL” causes the entire Launch Control system to be reset to default values, including all the

sequencer fields.

“NEXT” jumps to the curve and duration editor.

Launch Control Curve and Duration

Editing Screen

The Curve and Duration editing screen displays the currently

selected curve (noted in top left corner of graph) and the points

that are defined in the curve. Note that there are at least three

points and no more than 7, numbered 0 through 7. Points 0 and

7 are never editable and always correspond to the bottom left

and top right corners. Points in between may be moved left,

right, up, or down in 1% increments. If three points are defined,

for example, they are numbered 0, 1, and 2 with points 0 and two

being in the corners. A straight line connects adjacent points of

the curve, which is only composed of line segments (never

smoothed).

Duration Option

“Duration” is the time that it takes the throttle to run from end to

end (horizontally from the left on the graph) when Launch

Control is active. The units are from 0.02s to 5.00s in 0.01s

increments.

Point Option

“Point” allows the user to select which point to edit. The point may be moved horizontally using the

“Time” prompt, or vertically using the “Power” prompt. Both Time and Power are 1% increments on

the display. Time and Power will change the position of the selected point on the curve.

Add/Delete Pt Option

“Add Pt” and “Delete Pt” are used to add or remove points on the curve. When “Add Pt” is selected,

the user specifies the line segment where it should be inserted (0-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc.) and the insertion is

done midway between the two adjacent points and on the line. Note that you cannot add a point

between two points already only 1% apart, as that would break the 1% increment rule. The launch

control curve data is shifted right to make room for the new point, and the new point is inserted.

When “Delete Pt” is selected, the user selects the point to remove and the data in the sequencer is

shifted left to remove it, and the last point is verified to be locked at 100% power, 100% time. The

active steps in the curve is decremented to reflect the deletion.

“RESET” will change only the current curve to default values for the duration and curve points.
