This function is used to vary how much speed is demanded depending on the accelerator position.
Setting either Curved, Dual Slope or Crawl gives a smaller change in speed for large changes in
accelerator position and is useful for low speed maneuvering.
The accelerator push refers to how much the operator has the accelerator depressed. This is the
value which is displayed on item 19.01 in the Test menu on the Calibrator. The Accelerator
Demand refers to how much accelerator demand is requested after the Characteristic function is
applied. This accelerator demand is then used along with the Creep Speed and Maximum Speed
personalities to determine the speed demand for the vehicle.
If a valid direction is selected and the accelerator demand is at 0%, the speed demand will be set
to the Creep Speed personality. As the accelerator demand is increased to 100%, the speed
demand increases linearly to the Maximum Speed personality.
