6.3 Changing the USB Comport in Windows Device Manager
6.4 Memory Operation of the TCU
6.5 Selecting Different Pages in the Software
This chapter will explain how the software operates and how to set it up for your specific
Transmission. The TCU comes preconfigured so that you don’t have to go through the tedious
process of configuring all the different parameters, to get the Transmission to start. There are
however certain checks on different Transmissions to get the TCU to work properly. Failure to do
this may damage the TCU or components of the Transmission which will solely be your
responsibility. Refer to the drawings of your model to see if your Transmission has a special setup
procedure.

6.2 Connecting a PC to the TCU
Connect the optional serial cable or RS232 converter cable to your laptop or PC and to the TCU.
(Remember to break out pins 1,4,6,7,8 & 9 if it is not a Spitronics USB converter)
Switch the ignition on and check if the yellow LED is on. Open the TCU PC software. If the TCU is
connected, the PC software will detect it on the Com port automatically and connect to it. If it did
not, check your connections again. Note that if you use the USB converter cable, that the com port
must be Com 10 or lower. You can correct this in the Device Manager of Windows XP. You are
now ready to begin with the tuning on your TCU.
