Track Manual

ETK Track Manual

Getting installed is the hard part. Now you have a track-day setup to attempt the previously impossible. You might not make it across the finish line your first attempt. But keep at it and you will.

The Heads-Up Display

Designed to feel like a race car Driver Data Unit style dashboard (DDU). From left-to-right, the instruments are: frametime|framerate|battery|ETK|temp|load|ram|shaders

ETK DDU Startup Sequence

The custom display has a 3-step startup sequence. The duration can be edited in etk.conf

1. Shows the installation mode of the ETK: FULL, LITE or RAW|the game ID number|and the shader vault being loaded.
2. Shows the labels of the main instruments without shader info.
3. Minimizes instrument labels to include shader count and vault size.

Gauge Indicators

• The TEMP gauge will show HOT when you are getting close to overheating.
  • When you trigger the thermal protection system the device drops into a PIT-mode cooldown and the gauge shows »COOLDOWN. No reboot needed — once it cools back down the system automatically returns to racing and flashes RACE OK.
• The core LOAD and RAM gauges have 3-step meters: »-- »»- »»»
  • Don't think of these as proportional to the numbers,
  • Instead, think of these as your "system overhead" and when you are maxed out with all three segments, you are pushing the device to its known limits.

The ETK Punch Box
