5 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Configuration and MyChair Parameters
The 1740 powerbase holds four complete data sets containing values for all the
programmable parameters. This allows the OEM to have one controller whose four
configurations are set up to match four different chair models. The
Configuration
parameter is used to select which of these four configurations is active.
The MyChair parameter allows you to select Profile 1, Profile 2, or a blended
profile between the two.
Profile 1 is characterized by the parameter settings in the Profile 1 Drive
and Steer menus.
Profile 2 is characterized by the parameter settings in the
Profile 2 Drive and Steer menus. Typically Profile 2 is configured with more
aggressive settings than Profile 1.
The Drive and Steer menus for the two profiles allow the OEM to set up
two different drive and steering “feels” for each configuration: for a total of 8
different combinations (4 configurations × 2 profiles). In practice, many more
chair “personalities” are immediately available through these two parameters
alone (Configuration and MyChair), as the profile can be set at any of eleven
points along the profile continuum.
This provides tremendous versatility without the need for customizing
any of the other parameters.
MYCHAIR PARAMETER
PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
MyChair 1.0–2.0 Setting this parameter to 1.0 selects Profile 1; a setting of 2.0 selects
Profile 2. All other settings (1.1 – 1.9) select a blend between Profiles
1 and 2.
CONFIGURATION PARAMETER
PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Configuration 1–4 The powerbase stores up to four complete data sets, or
“configurations.” This parameter is used to select which of the four
is active.
Upon changing this parameter, every parameter in the new
configuration becomes active immediately in the powerbase.
However, you must unplug the programmer and plug it in again
so that it can upload, view, and adjust the settings for the newly
active parameters.
