NOVAK PIT WIZARD - Deadband

6 PIT WIZARD INSTRUCTION MANUAL
• DEADBAND
–Measured as percentage (%) of Full Throttle trigger position.
–Space between Minimum Brake and Minimum Drive, with
Neutral located at the center of this space (Figure 2).
–Changing the Deadband value will change the point at which
forward Drive begins with respect to Neutral.
–Increasing Deadband will require more trigger movement away
from Neutral to reach both the first pulse of Drive and the first
pulse of Brake. Example: Adding 10% to the value of Deadband
will in turn add 5% Deadband in the Full Throttle trigger
direction, and 5% Deadband in the Full Brake trigger direction.
–Decreasing Deadband will require less trigger movement to
reach the first pulses of Drive and Brake.
Figure 2: Deadband graphically displayed as a percentage of the Full Throttle
trigger position, which is measured in microseconds.
