Cycle Analyst V3.1 User Manual
Rev 1.0
This mode can be useful on long trips when holding fixed throttle level is tedious,
but has largely been superceeded by PAS sensors for those wanting throttle-free
assistance.
6.5 Output Throttle Settings
The throttle output menu contains the configuration details for the signal that the
CA3 sends to the motor controller, including the minimum to maximum voltage
swing and the maximum rate at which the throttle signal can ramp up or down.
Many users with powerful setups will want to take advantage of throttle output
ramp limiting to provide smoother acceleration and less kick on throttle
engagement. Up Ramp values of 0.3 to 1.0 V/sec will smooth out the start,
while higher rates like 6-8 V/sec give immediate responsiveness.
The separate PAS Ramp Rate allows a slower/smoother power engagement
when pedaling, while still having a fast and punchy response to the throttle.
It is also possible to configure the Throttle Output to be a 1-2mS pulse style of
signal instead of a varying voltage signal, which provides compatibility with RC
speed controllers.
6.6 Setup Speed Limits
The speed limit menu contains settings relating to the Cycle Analyst limiting
power based on the vehicle speed. This includes a maximum assist speed, a
minimum speed for power to work, and even a maximum speed that only applies
when the rider is using the throttle without pedaling.
