PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS
The Curtis 1310 Vehicle System Controller is designed to be a universal con-
trol block, and therefore has only a few “ready-made” standard parameters that
can be adjusted via the 1311 handheld programmer. Many custom parameters
and menus can be added to meet the needs of the application, using the VCL
programming language. Refer to Section 5 of the VCL Programmer’s Guide for
detailed information on setting up parameter lists and menus that can be read by
the Curtis 1311 handheld programmer or Curtis 1314 PC-based programmer.
For programmer operation, see Appendix C.
