1. A customizable apparatus for controlling rotational movement of a turret of a vehicle comprising:
- a memory that stores information relating to operation of the turret;
a communication port that exchanges communications relating to operation of the turret with a hand-held programming device, the hand-held programming device displays the information relating to operation of the turret, and in response to receipt of instructional user input at the hand-held programming device, the hand-held programming device transmits communications relating to the instructional user input to the communication port; and
a controller that processes a communication received at the communication port from the hand-held programming device, the controller selectively provides access to the stored information relating to operation of the turret to the hand-held programming device, wherein the controller is configured to modify the information stored in memory relating to operation of the turret in response to the communication received from the hand-held programming device such that operation of the turret is selectively customized according to user preference.
