(CONT.)
• DEADBAND
–
Measured as percentage (%) of Full Throttle trigger position.
–
Space between Minimum Brake and Minimum Drive, with
Neutral located at the center of this space (Figure 2).
–
Changing the Deadband value will change the point at which
forward Drive begins with respect to Neutral.
–
Increasing Deadband
will require more trigger movement away
from Neutral to reach both the first pulse of Drive and the first
pulse of Brake.
Example: Adding 10% to the value of Deadband
will in turn add 5% Deadband in the Full Throttle trigger
direction, and 5% Deadband in the Full Brake trigger direction.
–
Decreasing Deadband
will require less trigger movement to
reach the first pulses of Drive and Brake.
Figure 2:
Deadband graphically displayed as a percentage of the Full Throttle
trigger position, which is measured in microseconds.
