    Learning curve covered with ice

    I am having a problem with setting up PID's & histograms.
    And having them on the Primary table display.
    I'm just not getting it.
    I stumble onto a working histo, scan car make changes.

    The learning curve is steep, but damn, this slope is covered with ice & I keep falling on my face.

    Is it possible to have a repository that one can be easily cut & paste.

    I hope this is really not to newb-ish.
    I'm just not getting it.

    Hey George , I have struggled with this a bit also , spend time figuring it out get things working dont have to deal with it for a while and have to go give myself a refresher course on it by reading the stickys and watching the demos at the top of the getting started section till I get it figured out again

    I dont tune stuff often enough I suppose but I dont find it paticularly intuitive like some other features of the software I may not use for a while but when I need to its like riding a bicycle all comes right back to me , not the case with configuring histograms for whatever reason - you arent left handed also by chance are you lol

    maybe there will be some changes in the way the histos work by the time the next public release comes out

    I always keep my eyes peeled when people post their configs on here and have saved many of them -they are great to refer for info to make certain histo's work

    Hey thanx for the reply's,
    Murph, not left handed.....just a bit dyslexic....lol, but still, a little frustrating for me.
    What you posted is exactly what I'm going threw.
    It seem that the HP program is "kinda"........ not going to bash.
    I know it's a powerful tool, a decent (good) format for tuning.
    For the amount of cash, a real discount for the DVD tutorial would be a real plus.
    You know for the guy, not out to make money, just wants the most out of his vehicle.
    The local Guru, is giving up on car tuning.....sigh. So, trying to hook up with someone for those little D'oh moments, and don't know how to ask. or even worse one of those "I didn't even know you could do that" kinda stuff.
    Guess I'm frustrated.
    Any one have any spike cleats for my shoes?

    Hope this works copy of my config file.
    The LFT & SFT are not in the histo.
    It doesnt show up with a scan.
