Curtis 1311 Manual
3.3 Interface Protocols and
backward compatibility
Model 1311 has several protocols to communicate with other
Curtis products. It automatically detects the correct protocol
and begins the data upload immediately upon power up. (It is
critical that the correct cable is used).
Model 1311 Handheld Programmer also emulates the
communication of the 1307 handheld programmer. 1311 is
backward compatible with products like 1207, 1223 and other
products designed to communicate with model 1307. The
1307 protocol does not support Sub-Menus.
1307 backward compatibility is provided using the same
Main Menu structure as all other 1311 protocols. The 1307
had special Keys labeled PROGRAM, TEST and DIAGNOS-
TICS, which are accessed under the Program, Monitor and
Faults 1311 Menus. The 1307 MORE INFO is similar to the
1311 detail screen and Functions Menu. Changing the data
and scrolling through the list is similar between the 1311 and
the 1307.
3.4 Changing a parameter
Many Curtis products allow customization to meet designer
or user preferences. The parameters that are made available to
the OEM, dealer, service technician or end-user, are con-
trolled by the 1311 access level (see section 1.3 Model vari-
ants). Not every parameter is visible to every user.
When the 1311 is connected to a Curtis product, a parameter
list (block) is uploaded to the programmer along with the pre-
sent settings. You can easily scroll through this list and
change the settings and quickly test the results. To access a
parameter, use the Menu Navigation Key to select
'Program'
Sub-Menus organize the parameter list. Scroll though the list
and press the right arrow on the Menu Navigation Key to
enter the Sub-Menu.
