A.1 Introduction

The entire DRV is controlled by an embedded computer (Figure A.1) located in the

driver’s side battery box. This computer has a 2-line LCD display and 10 function

buttons. The complete operating characteristics of the manipulator can be altered through

the use of the display and the function buttons. In normal use, the LCD display will show

the current operating mode and/or any fault conditions that are detected. Additionally, the

LCD can be programmed to display internal operating parameters that may be a useful

aid in troubleshooting the system.
