How do you lock the converter during a dyno pull?

I'm new to having an auto. How do you force the converter to lock on an 06 Vette during a dyno pull?

You lock the convertor with the computer that is going to be used with the dyno.

You need some type of tune or scan software to go into the PCM and command the TC to lock.

you need a good scanner like HPtuners.

then you just set converter lockup to 100% and click the button on the laptop. you can also make it hold gears that way.

I'm screwed then. I have the A6 and HPtuners still does not have software for that tranny. I guess I'll keep waiting.

Thanks,

Sorry, forgot to say, I've sold the Camaro in the signature and bought a 2006 Corvette with the paddle shift 6 speed auto. I can hold the gear without a problem with the paddle shift mode, but I can't get the converter to lock up with HP tuners.
