System for customizing responsiveness of a machine
First Claim
1. A control system for customizing a relationship between an operator input at an input controller and a corresponding response of a machine, comprising:
- an input controller operable to receive an operator input and generate a corresponding control signal;
a programmable device having parameters stored therein, the parameters being adjustable to control responsiveness of a component of the machine over a range of inputs at the input controller, the programmable device being operable to adjust the parameters in response to an input from an operator; and
a control module disposed on the machine, the control module being operable to receive signals from the programmable device, the signals being representative of a desired relationship between an operator input to the input controller and a corresponding response of the machine, wherein the control module is further operable to receive the control. signal from the input controller and process the control signal based on the signals from the programmable device.

Abstract
A control system for customizing a relationship between an operator input at an input controller and a corresponding response of a work machine is disclosed. The control system includes an input controller operable to receive an operator input and generate a corresponding control signal. The control system also includes a hand-held programmable device having parameters stored therein. The parameters are adjustable to control responsiveness of a component of the work machine over a range of inputs at the input controller. The hand-held programmable device is operable to adjust the parameters in response to an input from an operator. A control module is disposed on the work machine and is operable to receive signals from the hand-held programmable device. The signals are representative of a desired relationship between an operator input to the input controller and a corresponding response of the work machine. The control module is also operable to receive the control signal from the input controller and process the control signal based on the signals from the hand-held programmable device.
