Profiles and modes explained: The operation of the RNET system is based around the
concept of Profiles and Modes.
A Profile is a collection of programmable parameters that affect the operation and
performance of the wheelchair. It is typical to have 5 Profiles, each set-up to give a different
driving performance. For example, Profile 1 may have very slow settings for speeds and
accelerations, while Profiles 2 through to 5 would have progressively faster settings. In this
way, the user can change the performance of the wheelchair by selecting the appropriate
Profile with the Profile Button on the JSM. Although Profiles are used mainly to change
driving performance, they can also contain parameters for other functions, such as seating
control.
A Mode reflects the actual operation that occurs as a result of a joystick command. Typical
examples are Drive Mode, Seating Control Mode and Bluetooth Mode. The user can select
the required Mode with the Mode Button on the JSM. Note, it will only be possible to select
a Mode if there is a Module that will support that Mode connected into the system. For
example, if there is no Mouse Module connected, then the user will not be able to select
that Mode.
