Setting static timing

[extremy]

Hi all,

I`m in the middle of installing a EMU ECU on my VW Corrado G60, which was running on a Link G1 ECU.
On the Link you could set static timing (on the G60 engine this is 6 degrees) and this made the ignition table showing the actual advance.
Is there such a option with the EMU?

You can fix ignition in primary trigger, check it with strobo lamp and adjust it.

And adjust the trigger input delay if the advance is falling behind at mid-high rpm

Thanks guys, I`m gonna try that as soon as I got her running, which should be next Saturday

It runs!
At first I set the number of teeth trigger setting to 8 as the manual says number of teeth including missing. But as I`m using only the 4 window hall sender in my distributor, this resulted in only one plug firing. After I set the number of teeth to two, she fired right up. The suggested setting from the manual is only for crank triggers, as a cam or distributor turns at half the speed.

I set the base timing as followed: marked the 6 degree mark on the flywheel, set my timing gun on 0 degrees, locked the ignition at 6 degree in the trigger options, turned the distributor till it was spot on.
Can someone confirm this is correct? Adjustable timing lights always screw with my mind hahaha.

easier is to make mark at TDC, set the gun to 0 and lock ignition in EMU to 0
