Figure 6-5. Tools Menu Position Verification
Trending is provided on this window as well as functions to adjust and verify
actuator settings.
Manual position and manual current control modes are available for test
purposes. Selecting either manual control mode will prompt a warning screen
(see Figure 6-6). Once enabled, the manual setting appears which provides the
ability to directly set the actuator current or position setpoint. The manual position
setpoint scaling of 0 % and 100 % corresponds to the calibrated min and max
(see Position Calibration section above).
Closing this window will exit any selected test mode and the device will revert to
normal operation.

The actuator dynamics, friction and inertia setting, can be modified and tested.
When either setting is changed, the Apply Settings Change button becomes
active. Selecting this button changes the actuator dynamics in the device and
allows testing of the new setting(s). The new dynamic settings can be reverted
back by either selecting Cancel or closing the window (‘x’ in upper-right corner).
The cancel operation reverts back to the device’s friction and inertia values at the
time the Position Verification window was opened.
The chart trend can be started and stopped using the Start/stop button. Selecting
‘Start‘ will restart the chart, erasing an existing values.
