APPENDIX B

PROGRAMMING DEVICES & MENUS

Curtis programmers provide programming, diagnostic, and test capabilities for
the 1268 controller. 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 Program-

ming Station and the 1313 handheld programmer. The Programming Station
has the advantage of a large, easily read screen; on the other hand, the hand-
held programmer (with its 45×60mm screen) 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 ver-

sions. 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 Pro-
gramming Station; operating instructions are provided in the 1313 manual.
This programmer replaces the 1307 and 1311, earlier models with fewer functions.

PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS

Parameter adjustment

— provides access to the individual programmable pa-

rameters.
