Compensator Availability
Not all compensators are available to every command activity for one or more of the following reasons:
•
Some compensators apply only to specific types of command activities. For instance, Peak Valley
Compensation (PVC) pertains only to cyclic command.
•
Some compensators, such as Adaptive Inverse Control (AIC), are licensed and will be available only
if they were purchased.
•
Some compensators, such as Null Pacing, will be available only if they are enabled in the underlying
station configuration.
Selecting compensators when not connected to a station
It is good practice to wait until you connect to a station before selecting compensators for command
activities. When not connected to a station, the compensator list for a given command-type activity displays
all of the types of compensators that are possible to use with the activity. When you connect to a station,
the list of compensators displays only the compensators that are actually available to the activity.
