10. Specialty InputQuick Setup Parameter Programming Quick Setup Profile allocation Drive Seat Aux. Enable or Disabled Speed & Response 1-5 Value for each Gives quick adj’s to desired driving aspects for both overall speed and responsiveness of the powerchair. Profile 1 is always a Drive profile!!

11. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Drive Profile performance specifics Latch Forward Stepped & Cruise Latch Reverse Stepped & Cruse Used Rarely & with Caution!! Speed Turn Rate: The speed turn rate parameter defines the maximum turn speed while driving. This parameter is only used in specialty input. Used with switched input, the value has to be smaller than the turn speed. Used with proportional input, the value can be the same as the turn speed.

12. Specialty InputSettings Parameter programming Settings: Input Setup: This parameter defines which specialty input is to be used in conjunction with the Enhanced Display to operate the wheelchair.

13. Specialty Inputinput setup Parameter programming Cont’ >The settings for this parameter are: Other Specialty Input: Enhanced display is not being used as a input device. 1-Switch: This activates the Enhanced display single switch scanner. 2-Switch 3-Switch (**) 4-Switch 5-Switch 3-Switch Head (special commands are used when tilted or seat profile) 4-Switch Head (special commands are used when tilted or seat profile) 5-Switch Head (special commands are used when tilted or seat profile) Proportional 3 Direction Proportional <(**) Note that in 3 switch mode a toggle command is used to change between forward and reverse drive commands. This will not be possible when the tremor suppression is set to a high value. In this case the short command to toggle the direction is perceived as a strong tremor and is therefore ignored as a input command. <When using a sip puff specialty control this parameter must be set to other specialty input.

14. Specialty Input Input setup 1-switch Parameter programming 1-Switch input parameter: When the display is programmed in a single switch application the user will need a secondary switch in the mode port of the Enhanced Display to activate drive and seating functions. The Enhanced display screen will display direction arrows and a mode selection around the outside edge of the screen. The number of directions can be programmed to be a 4way or 8way scan. Other associated parameters are scan rate, 4 or 8 way scan, and 1-switch time-out. These will be discussed later in the presentation. Example of 4-way scan drive screen Example of 8-way scan drive screen Example of seating screen

15. Specialty Input Input setup 2-switch Parameter programming A long command = forward drive A long command = left direction A short command followed by A long command = right direction Short command followed by A long command = Reverse drive 2-Switch input parameter: With two-switch control (Left, Right), a remote Mode key is optional. Without a Mode key, cycling through the profiles can be done with a double short Left command. To drive forward, the user gives a short Right command followed by a long Right command; to drive in reverse, the user gives a short Left command followed by a long Left command. Single Left and Right commands are used to make turns. To navigate within a menu, a short plus a long Right command highlights the previous menu item, and a short plus a long Left command highlights the next item. A short Left command is used for escape, and a short Right command for select. Switch attached to left direction Switch attached to right direction

16. Specialty Input Input setup 3,4,&5-switch Parameter programming 3-switch input parameter: With three-switch control (Forward, Left, Right), a remote Mode key is optional. Without a Mode key, cycling through the profiles is done with a double short Left command. As there is no Reverse switch, the Forward switch is used for both directions. A short Forward command toggles between forward and reverse. A direction arrow on the Enhanced Display indicates which direction is selected. The Forward switch can then be used to drive in the indicated direction. When navigating within the Seat menu, the Right and Left commands are used to select the desired seat function; a short Forward command toggles between up and down movement, and the Forward switch can then be used to move the selected part in the indicated direction. In the Aux menu, a short Forward command toggles between previous and next, and the Forward switch can then be used to move through the menu in the selected direction. The Right command is used to select items, and the Left command to exit. 4-switch input parameter: Four-switch control (Fwd, Rev, Left, Right) does not use a Mode key. Commands are straightforward: the Forward, Reverse, Left, and Right switches select those directions, and also navigate within menus. In the Seat menu, a Right command selects the next seat function, and Forward and Reverse correspond to up and down movement; to exit the Seat menu, use either a Left command or a Mode command. In the Aux menu, Forward and Reverse commands move to the previous and the next menu item; a Right command selects the highlighted menu item, and a Left (or Mode) command exits the Aux menu. Cycling through the profiles is done with a double short Left command. 5-switch input parameter: Five-switch control (Forward, Reverse, Left, Right, Mode) requires a Mode key—either the Mode switch that is part of the 9-pin connector of the ED (and connected to pin 6 the 9-pin D-sub), or an external Mode switch connected to the Mode jack.Commands are straightforward: the Forward, Reverse, Left, and Right switches select those directions, and also navigate within menus. In the Seat menu, a Right command selects the next seat function, and Forward and Reverse correspond to up and down movement; to exit the Seat menu, use either a Left command or a Mode command. In the Aux menu, Forward and Reverse commands move to the previous and the next menu item; a Right command selects the highlighted menu item, and a Left (or Mode) command exits the Aux menu. The Mode key is used to cycle through the profiles.

17. Specialty Input Input setup 3,4 , & 5-switch head Parameter programming A short command Will switch forward to reverse 3-switch head commands. Drive commands: Forward/Reverse Untilted( 3-switch head only): Forward and reverse are selected by toggling the Back switch. The Back switch is then used to drive in the selected direction.. Left/Right Untilted(3-switch head only): Left and right are selected with the Left and Right switches. A double command of the left head pad will change to a different profile. Example of std drive screen

18. Specialty Input Input setup 3,4 , & 5-switch head tilt threshold head programming parameter Tilt Threshold Head Control: This threshold only is active if a head array is used as the input device. Such as 3-switch head, 4-switch head, and 5-switch head. If this threshold is on and the tilt is beyond the set degree on this parameter, but below the degree set for tilt threshold driving, the driving will change from 3, 4, or 5 switch mode to 2 switch mode. This means forward and reverse driving will be controlled with the right head pad and left and right driving directions with the left head pad.

19.

29. Specialty Input Input setup Proportional Parameter programming Proportional and 3 Direction Proportional input: Four-axis and 3-axis joystick operation are both possible. In both cases a Mode switch is required, to switch between profiles. The parameter Input Setup is set to “proportional” when a proportional input is used. A 4-axis joystick provides proportional control in each of the four directions. A 3-axis joystick enables a user who has difficulty making pulling motions to nevertheless command four directions. Forward and reverse share the same joystick position, and the user toggles between them. An arrow on the LCD indicates whether forward or reverse is active. Examples of these types of devices are: RJM, Finger Steer, Magitek, Mini Joystick, and Touch Pads. A 3-direction proportional device example would be a RIM control

30. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Proportional Input Center Deadband: The Center (or neutral) Deadband parameter defines how far the joystick must be moved from center for a command to be recognized. The value corresponds to the diameter of the circle around the joysticks center position. No drive or menu command will be generated unless the joystick is moved out of this circle. Switched Operation: Changes joystick from proportional operation to switched

31. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Proportional Input Tremor Suppression: This settings allows the operator to manipulate the responsiveness of the joystick. This setting is useful for users who have hand tremors Assign Directions: This setting allows you to change the orientation of the joystick. By using this parameter a handcontrol could be set up so the user pushes the joystick forward to achieve a reverse drive.

32. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Proportional Input Short Command: Adjusts the amount of time needed to make a fwd/rev command in 3 direction profile Throw:: The joystick throw parameter defines how far the joystick must be moved in each direction to generate a full speed command.

33. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Switched Input Switched Timing: The switched timing parameter defines the menu command time for menu handling with switch-type input devices. 4/8 Way Scan: The 4/8 Way Scan parameter defines the scan mode. in a 4-way scan mode, the commands forward, reverse, left, and right are available. In a 8-way scan mode, intermediate diagonal directions are available. For example, If the scanner bar is located on the top left corner, the generated command will be turn left while driving forward. NOTE: The scan function is only available when the input setup parameter is set to 1-Switch.

34. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Switched Input Scan Rate: The Scan Rate parameter defines the scan speed, in seconds. The higher the Scan Rate value, the slower the scanner bar rotates. NOTE: The scan function is only available when the input setup parameter is set to 1-Switch. 1- Switch Time-Out During drive with a 1-switch specialty input device this time-out defines the maximum time after which drive will be automatically be disabled.

35. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Switched Input Head Left/Right Swap: This parameter will swap the left and right head pads when using a head array in seat mode. Back Switch Toggle: Applicable only for 3-Switch and 3-Switch Head configurations. When this parameter is set to Enabled, the back (center) switch can be used to toggle directions. When set to Disabled, the back switch cannot be used to toggle directions in Drive profiles, and the Right command cannot be used to toggle directions in Seat profiles. Instead, the toggle must be done with the Mode switch

36. Specialty InputDrive Parameter Programming Switched Input Double Command: This parameter allows you to disable the double mode command when using a head array. When disabled mode commands will be made by a secondary mode switch. ASL Timing: The ASL headarray, has an optional fourth switch. When this switch is pressed and held, the ASL box generates a single command followed by a double command followed by a long command. The interval between the single and double commands is set by a potentiometer on the ASL box. The ASL Timing parameter should be set to same value as that set on the box.

37. Enhanced Display W/ BluetoothEnhanced Display w/ Bluetooth Sound and Display Parameters Sound and Display Command Beep: This parameter enables a short beep to give audible feed back when a menu command is recognized. Language: Sets your preferred language dialog English or German Backlight: Sets the desired amount of illumination from the display. Dimming Delay: This parameter allows you to set a time-out if no command is given. The display will dim until a command is given.

38. Enhanced Display W/ BluetoothEnhanced Display w/ Bluetooth Sound and Display Parameters Sound and Display Measurement System: This allows you to change between two measurement systems Photo Album:: Enable / Disable menu entry ‘photo album’ on LCD. If this parameter is set to ‘disabled’, the photo album will not be accessible on the LCD. Time: Sets the time format on the display

Speed Turn Rate: The speed turn rate parameter defines the maximum turn speed while driving. This parameter is only used in specialty input. Used with switched input, the value has to be smaller than the turn speed. Used with proportional input, the value can be the same as the turn speed.

46. Sip and PuffSettings Parameter Programming Settings 2 OR 4 Pressure: The 2 or 4 pressure parameter sets the method of operating the sip and puff. 4 pressure operation requires a hard sip, hard puff, soft sip, and soft puff to make forward, reverse, left, and right commands. 2 pressure operation uses one or two sips, and one or two puffs to make the four drive commands.

47. Sip and PuffSettings Parameter Programming Settings Sampling Delay Sip: The Sampling Delay Sip parameter sets the time that a sip must be applied before it is recognized by the system. It is usually only necessary to adjust this parameter when changing between 4 and 2 pressure operation. The standard setting for 4 pressure operation is 200ms. The standard setting for 2 pressure operation is 20ms.

48. Sip and PuffSettings Parameter Programming Settings Sampling Delay Puff: The Sampling Delay Puff parameter sets the time that a puff must be applied before it is recognized by the system. It is usually only necessary to adjust this parameter when changing between 4 and 2 pressure operation. The standard setting for 4 pressure operation is 200ms. The standard setting for 2 pressure operation is 20ms.

49. Sip and PuffSettings Parameter Programming Settings Adjust Pressures: This setting allows you to set the pressure of the sips and puffs needed to perform drive commands. When adjusting the pressures for the user the programmer will walk you through the steps. Be aware that when adjustments are being made and the value on the screen changes while the user gives sip and puffs. It is necessary to manually add the value into the system.

50. Sip and PuffSettings Parameter Programming Settings Calibrate: Select this option to run the calibration function. The handheld programmer will walk you through the necessary steps. Running this function will ensure that the pressure in the tube is zero when not in use.
