Plot and Log . . .
The plot and log programs allow you to look at variables over time, either in
graphical format or as data files you can upload in a spreadsheet program, such
as Excel.
Softkeys . . .
Three versatile softkeys provide multiple functions, depending on context.
Help function . . .
Help screens give descriptions of adjustable parameters, monitored variables,
and faults.
PC interface . . .
Files can be downloaded from a PC (onto an SD card or into the programmer
directly through its USB connector) for installation into the controller.
Update . . .
The handheld programmer can update its own software.
SD-card support . . .
An SD card provides additional memory capacity. This is where any screenshots
you take will be stored. SD cards can be used to deliver software upgrades, and
can be used in multiple programmers to install identical software.
Batteries . . .
Two AA batteries provide power for use without a connected system; they also
ensure that the programmer's real-time clock keeps running.
Favorites . . .
The Favorites function allows you to create shortcuts to your frequently-used
adjustable parameters and monitor variables.
WARNING The control system can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, dynamic stability, and
braking. If the control system is programmed incorrectly or outside the safe limits as determined
by the vehicle manufacturer, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the vehicle manufacturer or
an authorized service agent or dealer should program the control system.
