Long Name:

Applies to:

Description:

Disables checking of the leading edge actuator position sensor. These sensors are on the backbone (not on the cylinder) and indicate LEC lowered or raised.

• ntl = 0 enables checking of sensor.
• ntl = 1 disables checking of sensor.

Type:

Default:

• 0

Range:

• 0 to 1

Notes:

Disabling this sensor is dangerous as the leading edge actuator could be in the no-fly zone of the drum and the firmware will not check it, before attempting to spin the drum.

When the sensors are disabled (nle=1) then the firmware defaults to delay of (le_delay) milliseconds before it assumes the cylinder moved as directed. When enabled (nle=0) the same amount of time is allowed for the appropriate sensor to be detected before a timeout error is generated.

• On LEC Raise command, timeout occurs if firmware failed to sense LEC Raised OR if still senses TEC Raised; Also vica versa if LEC lower command.
