3 Actuator Parameters
3.1 Number of Actuators
Sets the number of actuators to be connected to the VR2 control system. This value
must be set correctly in order to get the most informative and user-friendly method
of actuator control.
It is adjustable between 0 - 2 actuators in steps of 1.
3.2 Actuator 1 End Force
Adjusts the operating force of actuator channel 1. The reason this is programmable
is to provide an automatic shut-off of an actuator motor at the end position.
The value is adjustable between 1 and 5. A higher value gives a higher force. The
value should be chosen so that the actuator can move under its heaviest load
condition, but will shut-off automatically when stalled at the end stop
3.3 Actuator 1 Current Limit Time Out
This adjusts the length of time the control system will apply current to the actuator
motor once it has reached its End Force current limit.
It is adjustable between 50ms and 500ms in steps of 10ms.
3.4 Actuator 2 End Force
Adjusts the operating force of actuator channel 2. The reason this is programmable
is to provide an automatic shut-off of an actuator motor at the end position.
The value is adjustable between 1 and 5. A higher value gives a higher force. The
value should be chosen so that the actuator can move under its heaviest load
condition, but will shut-off automatically when stalled at the end stop.
3.5 Actuator 2 Current Limit Time Out
This adjusts the length of time the control system will apply current to the actuator
motor once it has reached its End Force current limit.
It is adjustable between 50ms and 500ms in steps of 10ms.
3.6 Actuator Selection with Joystick
This parameter determines whether selection between different actuator channels
can be made with left/right movements of the joystick. You can set between on and
off.
On Means that selection between actuator channels can be made with
the joystick and the actuator buttons.
Off Means that only the actuator buttons can be used to select between
actuator channels.
The parameter is only applicable if the Number of Actuators parameter is set to
greater than 1.
