Setting the Software Travel limits without a computer
If an Elevation 1+ needs to have its travel limits set, this can be done from the front
panel display in the following way.
Enter the menu mode by pressing and holding the menu button for two seconds. Once
in the menu mode there are two modes of operation as described below.
Menu Navigation
Pressing menu from the start display enters the first menu level. Menu up and menu
down will move up and down the menu items on the first level. The menu rolls over to
the first item after the last one is reached and vice versa. Pressing enter will move into
either the selected sub-menu or will show the selected parameter value.
Parameter Edit
With the parameter value displayed the menu up and menu down buttons will scroll the
value shown within the allowable range of values. Pressing menu will return to the
previous sub-menu and the value will remain unchanged. Pressing enter will save the
new value and return to the previous sub-menu. The scroll is variable speed with the
speed of value change increasing the longer the button is pressed.
The three entries that may need changing are the Upper and Lower Travel Limits and
the current position. The table below shows their location in the menu structure.
