APPENDIX B
PROGRAMMING DEVICES
Curtis programmers provide programming, diagnostic, and test capabilities for the 1353 models that
have a serial port. The power for operating the programmer is supplied by the host controller via a 4-pin
connector. When the programmer powers up, it gathers information from the controller.
Two types of programming devices are available: the 1314 PC Programming Station and the 1313
handheld programmer. The Programming Station has the advantage of a large, easily read screen; on the
other hand, the handheld programmer has the advantage of being more portable and hence convenient
for making adjustments in the field.
Both programmers are available in User, Service, Dealer, and OEM versions. Each programmer can
perform the actions available at its own level and the levels below that—a User-access programmer can
operate at only the User level, whereas an OEM programmer has full access.

PC PROGRAMMING STATION (1314)

The Programming Station is an MS-Windows 32-bit application that runs on a standard Windows
PC. Instructions for using the Programming Station are included with the software.

HANDHELD PROGRAMMER (1313)

The 1313 handheld programmer is functionally equivalent to the PC Programming Station; operating
instructions are provided in the 1313 manual. This programmer replaces the 1311, an earlier model
with fewer functions.

PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS

Programmer functions include:
Parameter adjustment — provides access to the individual programmable parameters.
Monitoring — presents real-time values during vehicle operation; these include all inputs
and outputs.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting — presents diagnostic information, and also a means to clear the
fault history file.
Programming — allows you to save/restore custom parameter settings.
Favorites — allows you to create shortcuts to your frequently-used adjustable parameters and
monitor variables.
