5. Operating Instructions
Basically the valve performs the task of converting a 
command signal into a proportional spool stroke with 
the highest possible dynamic. For these purposes 
the input value will be electronically processed and 
provides via a power amplifier stage the required 
current for the valve solenoid.
ProPxD parameterizing software
The ProPxD software permits comfortable parame-
ter setting for the module electronic. Via the clearly 
arranged entry mask the parameters can be noticed 
and modified. Storage of complete parameter sets 
is possible as well as printout or record as a text 
file for further documentation. 
The PC software can be downloaded free of charge 
at www.parker.com/isde – see page “Support" or 
directly at www.parker.com/propxd.
