Hi,
Le contrôleur de vitesses peut être fourni avec un programme de configuration permettant notamment de mettre à jour le logiciel embarqué. Ce programme peut aussi être transmis aux éditeurs de logiciels de jeu vidéo de sorte qu’il soit intégré dans leur logiciel de jeu vidéo. Ce programme de configuration comporte par exemple des cases à cocher pour activer, par exemple, un mode frein à main, un mode manuel à rapports courts, voire un mode séquentiel à rapports courts.
...This configuration program comprises for example boxes to tick in order to activate, for example a hand brake mode, a short ratio manual mode, or even a short ratio sequential mode.
Your help is required :)
Thank you!

short ratio manual transmission
A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox or standard transmission (informally, a "manual", "straight shift", "stick (shift)" (US), or "straight drive") is a type of transmission used in motor vehicle applications. It generally uses a driver-operated clutch, typically operated by a pedal or lever, for regulating torque transfer from the internal combustion engine to the transmission, and a gear stick, either operated by hand (as in a car) or by foot (as on a motorcycle).
A conventional manual transmission is frequently the base equipment in a car; other options include automated transmissions such as an automatic transmission (often a manumatic), a semi-automatic transmission, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Manual transmissions are characterized by gear ratios that are selectable by locking selected gear pairs to the output shaft inside the transmission.

A short gear is one with a low gear ratio, and a tall gear is one with a high gear ratio. For example, a 3.321:1 gear is shorter than a 1.902:1 gear.
In racing, you want to set up your gears so that you can use the full potential of your engine in each gear. In other words, it is not useful to have a 5-speed transmission if you?re driving on a relatively low-speed track where you never shift up to fifth gear. In this case, you could install a shorter final gear, which will have the effect of shrinking the difference between gears and allowing you to use the fifth gear.
