Rev curve correction at breaker

0
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 13, 2025

The rev curve correction process for the Alfano 7 involves selecting the correct engine type setting. For example, when using a TM Mini 60cc engine, setting the engine type to "TM Mini 60cc" allows the device to recognize and hide the downward peaks caused by the engine speed limiter. This correction removes false peaks and accurately shows the RPM curve without limiter interference.
