General Information CONTROLLER DIAGNOSTIC TOOL (CDT)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The CDT is used to adjust and save parameter settings of the controller, monitor real-time data, and perform
diagnostics and troubleshooting of the electric vehicle.
FEATURES
• Batteries: Two AA batteries provide power for the CDT’s real-time clock and they allow for use of the CDT when
not connected to a vehicle.
• Convenient parameter adjustment: You can easily adjust a wide range of parameters to customize vehicle
performance. These settings can then be saved as a unique .cpf (Cab Provisioning Format) file and stored.
Multiple .cpf files can be stored and restored as needed.
• Diagnostics and troubleshooting: Existing faults as well as all the accumulated faults in the system’s fault history
file are listed in clear language. Suggestions for clearing each fault are also provided.
• Help function: Help screens give descriptions of adjustable parameters, monitored variables, and faults.
• PC interface: Files can be downloaded from a PC (onto an Secure Digital (SD) card or into the programmer directly
through its USB connector) for installation into the controller.
• Plot and Log: The plot and log programs allow you to look at variables over time, either in graphical format or as
data files you can upload in a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel.
• Real-time monitoring: Values of monitored data variables are displayed in easy-to-read formats.
• SD-card support: An SD card provides additional memory capacity. This is where any screenshots you take will
be stored. SD cards can be used to deliver software upgrades, and can be used in multiple programmers to
install identical software.
• Softkeys: Three versatile softkeys provide multiple functions, depending on context.
• Update: The handheld programmer can update its own software.
