Offset
The Elevation Offset is specific to each type of platform. It is the number of
degrees at which the iNetVu™ Mobile Software will offset the reading from the
Inclinometer in order to produce an accurate (+/- 2°) Elevation Angle.

left unchecked. Please be advised that disabling any of these limits should be done
under the direct supervision of a c-com technical support representative.
Current Settings
H_P_C (9) and L_P_C (6) represent high platform current @ speed 9, and low platform
current @ speed 6 respectively. A software controlled current protection for the Mobile
Platform’s elevation motors. For Motor Speeds that are not listed (Speed 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8),
the Current Limit for those speeds is calculated using a percentage of the Current Limit
