The Idle tab when using a default layout is shown below:



The Idle Settings are the first port of call when configuring idle. Read onwards for more details on Idle Modes.


Idle Mode

For details on Idle mode, there is a specific page in the manual here. Note some options will appear and disappear on the idle settings window depending on mode.

Drive

Drive allows you to select how your physically controlling idle, either though a PWM Idle valve (in which case the final output duty is routed to "Idle" which can be assigned in output settings to a PWM channel), or DBW which routes it to the Drive-by-Wire controller - details on setting up Drive-by-Wire Idle are here.

PWM Drive

The PWM Drive settings allow you to set the valves optimum drive frequency (in Hertz) as well as its Min and Max Duty at which its effective. It also allows you to set the Valve control mode, either normal or inverted. If More Duty=More Air flow then the valve control mode is normal, otherwise, its inverted. More info is covered in the PWM Closed Loop Idle Tuning Example.

DBW Drive

DBW TP Max is the maximum authority the idle algorithm has over the DBW position. details on this are in the DBW Idle guide.

CL Startup

Close Loop Startup are modifiers use for starting the engine, giving idle flair etc, as well as "RTI/Return to Idle". A guide on tuning this section is here.

Conditions

These are the conditions which must be met before the idle control algorithm actives. You can see the idle status in the idle status DRO.

Close Loop Config

These are the specific PID settings for the idle algorithm. The idle tuning example contains further information.
