APPENDIX C: PROGRAMMER OPERATION

information from the controller. For experimenting with settings, the program-
mer can be left plugged in while the vehicle is driven.

The bookmark keys can make parameter adjustment more convenient.

To set a bookmark, press one of the three bookmark keys for more than two
seconds. To jump to a bookmarked location, press the appropriate bookmark
key quickly (for less than two seconds). For example, in setting the drive forward
throttle parameters, you might set a bookmark at the first of these parameters
[Program » Throttle » Forward Offset] and another at the raw throttle readout
[Monitor » Inputs » Throttle Pot]; this way you can easily toggle between the
readout and the parameters.

The bookmark keys also have another function that makes program-

ming easier. When setting the value of a parameter, you can use these keys to
adjust the increments by which the value changes—with Bookmark Key 1, the
value changes in 10-digit steps up or down; with Bookmark Key 2 pressed,
the value changes in 100-digit steps; and with Bookmark Key 3, in 1000-
digit steps—which, for most parameters, takes you from the maximum to the
minimum, or vice versa.

PC PROGRAMMING STATION (1314)
The Programming Station is an MS-Windows 32-bit application that runs on a
standard Windows PC. It can do everything the handheld programmer can do,
and more. Its additional capabilities include saving/restoring sets of parameters
to/from disk and updating software. Instructions for using the Programming
Station are included with the software.

PROGRAMMER MENUS
The programmers have six menus, which in turn lead to nested submenus.

Program

— provides access to the programmable parameters (see Section 3).

Monitor

— presents real-time values during vehicle operation; these include

all inputs and outputs, as well as the mapped throttle values and conditioned
throttle requests (see Section 4a).

Faults

— presents diagnostic information, and also a means to clear the fault

history file (see Section 8).

Functions

— provides access to the controller-cloning commands (see page 63)

and to the “reset” command.

Information

— displays data about the host controller: model and serial numbers,

date of manufacture, hardware and software revisions, and itemization of other
devices that may be associated with the controller’s operation.

Programmer Setup

— displays data about the programmer: model and serial

numbers, and date of manufacture.
