In dynamic mode, the simulator automatically adjusts the control step value by itself. This will generate dynamic J1939 signals. In static mode, all* simulated SAE J1939 signal will be controlled by the control step value, which is still able to be manually controlled by the Up and Down buttons.
Power on, both Power and Range LED lit All SAE J1939 data can be changed within the SAE defined range from 0 to 100 control steps (named 0% to 100% control step value from now on), 6 LEDs are used to identify the control step value in the range of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%.
