B.5 Importing a Joystick Tuning File

The Import utility in Datalink allows you to copy an existing joystick

tuning ﬁle into another joystick. This makes it easy to:

• congureasecondstationjoystick.

• useatemplatetuningletosetupidenticalvesselswithout

tuning every vessel individually.

• replaceajoystick.

• updatethermwarerevisiononajoystick.

Conﬁguring a second joystick

You will be importing the .ecu tuning ﬁle that you saved in STEP 10

of the joystick tuning procedure. Follow the basic import procedure

shown in section B.5.5. Be sure to set the joystick instance

number to 2 in step 4.

Once you have completed the import procedure, perform a sea trial

as shown in STEP 9 (section B.3.12) using both joysticks. Conﬁrm

that the vessel performs as expected from both stations.

Using a template ﬁle

If you are setting up identical vessels, you can use the tuning ﬁle from

the ﬁrst vessel as a template for others. For vessels to be considered

identical they must have the same hull (model and size) and the same

engines (model, horsepower, and propellers). If any of these conditions

are not met you will need to perform a full joystick tune.

When you plan to use a joystick tuning ﬁle as a template for identical

vessels, save it with a meaningful name in a dedicated folder.

Example: Joystick Template – Hull Model – Engine Model – Date.ecu

You will need:

Procedure

1. Follow the basic import procedure in section B.5.5. Be sure to

select the correct template ﬁle and the correct joystick instance

number for the destination joystick.

2. Open the joystick’s interface in Datalink.

3. Perform STEP 2 (section B.3.5) and STEP 3 (section B.3.6) of the

joystick tuning procedure. (This is necessary because throttle

response can vary from engine to engine.)

4. Perform a sea trial as shown in STEP 9 (section B.3.12). If the

vessel’s performance under joystick control is poor, double-check

that the template ﬁle you used was for an identical vessel.
