APPENDIX C
PROGRAMMING DEVICES
Curtis programmers provide programming, diagnostic, and test capabilities for the 1239E/1269E
controller. e power for operating the programmer is supplied by the host controller via a 4-pin
connector. When the programmer powers up, it gathers information from the controller.
Two types of programming devices are available: the 1314 PC Programming Station and the 1313
handheld programmer. The PC Programming Station has the advantage of a large, easily read
computer/laptop screen; on the other hand, the handheld programmer (with its 45×60mm screen)
has the advantage of being more portable and hence convenient for making adjustments in the eld.
Both programmers are available in User, Service, Dealer, and OEM versions. Each programmer can
perform the actions available at its own level and the levels below that — a User-access programmer
can operate at only the User level, whereas an OEM programmer has full access.
PC PROGRAMMING STATION (1314)
e Programming Station is an MS-Windows 32-bit application that runs on a standard Windows
PC. Instructions for using the Programming Station are included with the soware. In addition,
the Curtis 1309 Interface box with a computer-side USB and controller-side 4-pin serial Molex
connection is required for the 1314 PC Programmer.
HANDHELD PROGRAMMER (1313)
e 1313 handheld programmer is functionally equivalent to the PC Programming Station; operating
instructions are provided in the 1313 manual.
is programmer replaces the 1311, an earlier model with fewer functions.
PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS
Programmer functions include:
Parameter adjustment — provides access to the individual programmable parameters.
Monitoring — presents real-time values during vehicle operation; these include all inputs and outputs.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting — presents diagnostic information, and also a means to clear the
fault history le.
