by a !" comment symbol. Simply delete the !" symbol for each

Local tunable variable required for your selected drive type. Only the

CURRENT" parameter may be edited for these Local tunable values.

Other applicationĆspecific Local tunable values may be added as

required. See the appropriate DPS Configuration and Programming

instruction manual for more information on UDC tasks and JĆ3675 for

more information on Local tunables.
