APPENDIX D
PROGRAMMING DEVICES
Curtis programmers provide programming, diagnostic, and test capabilities for
the 1298 controller. The 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 Program
-
ming Station and the 1313 handheld programmer. The Programming Station
has the advantage of a large, easily read screen; on the other hand, the hand
-
held programmer (with its 45×60mm screen) has the advantage of being more
portable and hence convenient for making adjustments in the field.
Both programmers are available in User, Service, Dealer, and OEM ver-
sions. 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)
The 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 software.
HANDHELD PROGRAMMER (1313)
The 1313 handheld programmer is functionally equivalent to the PC Pro
-
gramming Station; operating instructions are provided in the 1313 manual.
This programmer replaces the 1311, an earlier model with fewer functions.
PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS
Programmer functions include:
Parameter adjustment — provides access to the individual programmable pa-
rameters.
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 file.

also to update the system software (not available on the 1311).

parameters and monitor variables (not available on the 1311).
