APPENDIX D

PROGRAMMING DEVICES

Curtis programmers provide programming, diagnostic, and test capabilities for the 1212/1212P controllers.

The power for operating the programmer is supplied by the host controller via a 4-pin connector. When the

programmer powers up, it gathers information from the controller.
Two types of programming devices are available: the 1314 PC Programming Station and the 1313 handheld

programmer. The Programming Station has the advantage of a large, easily read screen; on the other hand,

the handheld programmer (with its 45×60mm screen) has the advantage of being more portable and hence

convenient for making adjustments in the field.
Both programmers are available in User, Service, Dealer, and OEM versions. Each programmer can perform

the actions available at its own level and the levels below that—a User-access programmer can operate at only

the User level, whereas an OEM programmer has full access.

PC PROGRAMMING STATION (1314)

The Programming Station is an MS-Windows 32-bit application that runs on a standard Windows PC.

Instructions for using the Programming Station are included with the software.

HANDHELD PROGRAMMER (1313)

The 1313 handheld programmer is functionally equivalent to the PC Programming Station; operating

instructions are provided in the 1313 manual. This programmer replaces the 1311, an earlier model with

fewer functions.

PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS

Programmer functions include:
Parameter adjustment — provides access to the individual programmable parameters.
Monitoring — presents real-time values during vehicle operation; these include all inputs and outputs.
Diagnostics and troubleshooting — presents diagnostic information, and also a means to clear the fault

history ﬁle.
Programming — allows you to save/restore custom parameter settings files and also to update the system

software (not available on the 1311).
Favorites — allows you to create shortcuts to your frequently-used adjustable parameters and monitor

variables (not available on the 1311).
