information from the controller. For experimenting with settings, the program
-
mer can be left plugged in while the vehicle is driven.
The bookmark keys can make parameter adjustment more convenient. For
example, in setting the throttle deadband parameter, you might set a bookmark
at this parameter in the Throttle submenu [Program > Throttle > Throttle Dead
-
band] and another at the throttle readout [Monitor > Inputs > Throttle Input];
this way you can easily toggle between the readout and the parameter.
To set a bookmark, press one of the three bookmark keys for more than
two seconds. To jump to a bookmarked location, press the appropriate book
-
mark key quickly (for less than two seconds).
The bookmark keys also have another function that makes program
-
ming easier. When setting the value of a parameter, you can use these keys to
adjust the increments by which the value changes—with Bookmark Key 1, the
value changes in 10-digit steps up or down; with Bookmark Key 2 pressed,
the value changes in 100-digit steps; and with Bookmark Key 3, in 1000-digit
steps—which, for most parameters, takes you from the maximum to the mini
-
mum, or vice versa.
PC PROGRAMMING STATION (1314)
The Programming Station is an MS-Windows 32-bit application that runs on a
standard Windows PC. It can do everything the handheld programmer can do,
and more. Its additional capabilities include saving/restoring sets of parameters
to/from disk and updating software. Instructions for using the Programming
Station are included with the software.
PROGRAMMER MENUS
The programmers have six menus:
Program — provides access to the individual programmable parameters.
Monitor — presents real-time values during vehicle operation; these include all
inputs and outputs.
Faults — presents diagnostic information, and also a means to clear the fault
history file.
Functions — provides access to the controller-cloning commands and to the
“reset” command.
Information — displays data about the host controller: model and serial numbers,
date of manufacture, hardware and software revisions, and itemization of other
devices that may be associated with the controller’s operation.
Programmer Setup — displays data about the programmer: model and serial
numbers, and date of manufacture.
