Optimizer (Hand Held User Interface) OPT-3

The Optimizer is a hand held interface with a keyboard and an
alphanumeric display. It is used as an adjustment and diagnostic tool to
display various system values and to make adjustments. When the
Optimizer is first plugged in, its display will be similar to this:

Start Display

LEFT TRACK RIGHT
45% F 52% F

The Start Display shows the actual outputs to the machine’s tracks. In this
example, the SuperFLEX is outputting 45 percent of the maximum current
to the EDC (Electric Displacement Control) in the forward direction of the
left track, and 52% to the EDC of the right track. The F will change to an R
when an output is driving in the reverse direction.

Optimizer “3 Key” Operation

For ease of use, only three of the Optimizers keys are used to make
adjustments and access all of the data. The <+> plus and <-> minus keys
are used to step or scroll through the various data items. Pressing the
<ENTER> key while displaying Threshold, Maximum Out, Ramp Up or Low
Range will allow these parameters to be adjusted.

When any adjustment is allowed, the data on the display’s bottom line will
flash. The <+> plus and <-> minus keys are then used to increase or
decrease the values. The SuperFLEX has built in limits to certain
adjustments. For example, the Threshold cannot be set greater than 80%,
but the Max Out can be set to 100%. The attached AROTrak System
Calibration Diagram ( see drawing A090-6788-00 ) shows all of the
possible data items, functions and how to access them by stepping or
