PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS

These controllers have a number of parameters that can be programmed using
a Curtis 1311 handheld programmer or 1314 Programming Station. The pro-
grammable parameters allow the vehicle's performance to be customized to fit
the needs of specific applications.

PROGRAMMING MENUS

The programmable parameters are grouped into nested hierarchical menus, as
shown in Table 3.

Motor response tuning

Motor response characteristics can be tuned through Speed Mode or through
Speed Mode Express, which is a simplified version of Speed Mode with a reduced
set of parameters that is adequate for most applications. Use the Control Mode
Select parameter (page 25) to select which tuning mode you will use:
• Speed Mode Express
• Speed Mode.
A third mode, Torque Mode, is also available, but it is unlikely that you will
want to use that with the 1298 controller.
We strongly urge you to read Section 5, Initial Setup, before adjusting any of
the parameters.
Even if you opt to leave most of the parameters at their default settings, it
is imperative that you perform the procedures outlined in Section 5, which
set up the basic system characteristics for your application.
