ENGLISH: TH8 RS Tool v1.0.7.0 Calibration Software
(Windows XP / Vista / 7)
This advanced calibration software enables you to adjust electronic gear stroke
settings, and recalibrate the shifter as required.
After following these instructions, click Close to exit the software, then disconnect
the shifter from the USB port before reconnecting it.
All your settings will then automatically be saved to your shifter's internal memory,
and will function both on PC and PlayStation® 3.
Note: You can skip any step by clicking the SKIP button. Both shift plates - i.e. H-pattern
(7+1) and Sequential (-/+) - can be calibrated independently.
Important note:
To avoid any conflicts, the TH8 RS Control Panel MUST be closed before the
calibration software is started.
To launch the application
Simply double-click the TH8 RS Calibration v1.0.7.0 icon

H-pattern (7+1) Shift Plate Setup
The following screen appears:
•CALIBRATE Step (to recalibrate your shifter with an H-pattern shift plate)
- Move the stick in all 8 directions (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-R), several times if required, until the
white line fits within each of the 8 green rectangles.
The upper 4 green rectangles represent the signals received from speeds 1-3-5-7
The lower 4 green rectangles represent the signals received from speeds 2-4-6-R
- Replace the stick at the center and wait for the CALIBRATE OK tab to turn green. You
have completed the calibration process.

4
•TEST Step (to test your calibration)
- Move the lever twice in each direction
(i.e. 2x1–2x2 – 2x3 – 2x4 – 2x5 – 2x6 – 2x7 – 2xR), until the Test H8 - OK tab turns
green.
= You have completed the test process.

5
•FINE-TUNE Step
(to adjust electronic gear stroke settings for each of the 8 available gears)
- Use your mouse to move the green lines drawing the green rectangles at your
convenience.
This setting will enable you to determine at which point the signal for each speed is
triggered.
Example: In this case, the 2 green horizontal lines are very close to the cursor
= Short-stroke shifter

6
Example: In this case, the 2 green horizontal lines are very far from the cursor
= Long-stroke shifter
During this phase, make sure that you do not exceed the limits; the white lines must
always fall within the green rectangles. You can check this by shifting into gear; the
rectangle must always be highlighted in green when you shift into the relevant gear.

7
You can also move the vertical green lines.
Example: In this case, positions 5 and 7 both trigger the 5th gear (in games):
When you are satisfied with your adjustments, click Apply:
the Fine-Tune Saved tab then turns green.
- You can now exit the software by clicking Close.

8
Fine-Tuning the ANALOG mode
(This section is only applicable if using the ANALOG mode for PC!)
By default, the ANALOG mode features a limited "dead zone" at the beginning or the end
of the gear stroke.
You can reduce this dead zone by simply stretching the vertical lines drawing the 3rd
gear's green rectangle.
Example: Dead zone removed
Sequential (-/+) Shift Plate Setup
The following screen appears:

9
•CALIBRATE Step (to recalibrate your shifter with a Sequential shift plate)
The shift plate MUST be correctly attached during this operation; if it moves, the
calibrated values will be incorrect!
- Move the stick in both directions (- and +)
- Release the stick and wait for the CALIBRATE OK tab to turn green. You have
completed the calibration process.
•TEST Step (to test your calibration)
Move the stick twice in each direction (- and +) and wait for the Test +/- OK tab to
turn green. You have completed the test process.

10
•FINE-TUNE Step
(to adjust electronic gear stroke settings for each of the 2 available gears)
- Use your mouse to move the green lines drawing the green rectangles at your
convenience; you can move them closer to or further away from cursor (no further than
the ends of the white line, however).
Example: In this case, the 2 green vertical lines are very close to the cursor
= Short-stroke shifter
When you are satisfied with your adjustments, click Apply:
the Fine-Tune Saved tab then turns green.
- You can now exit the software by clicking Close.
Then, disconnect the shifter from the USB connector and connect it again.
YOU ARE NOW READY TO PLAY!
