A Primer for Advanced FORScan Editing

[SilverPigeon]

Hi everyone, lately I've been seeing people trying to make advanced changes listed on the individual module tabs where they don't understand the organisation of a setting or the importance of changing just the bit they need without affecting the other bits in that setting. With @Livnitup's blessing, I've written this primer to help people go that one step further into each tab of the spreadsheet, should they wish to.

NOTE: It is not a dictionary of the purpose of every setting. Please read @Livnitup's tutorial in post #1 of the FORScan thread before this primer.

Enable "geek mode" and enjoy

Thanks @fordtruckman2003, hopefully less now to explain all the time ? - knowledge is power ?

Also after forscan'n has begun, don't load the saved forscan profile, always let it rescan all modules.

I would agree if one is not sure of the current levels of the modules. For example, if one is set for automatic OTAs where software levels, calibrations etc. might change. Or, a vehicle has been in for service, it's good to go with a new profile.

If one is confident that there has been no level change to modules, a saved profile is fine; the program always loads current configuration when you hit "play".
