Description:

Disables checking of the trailing edge actuator position sensor. These sensors are on the backbone (not on the cylinder) and indicate TEC 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 trailing 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 (nte=1) then the firmware defaults to delay of (te_delay) milliseconds before it assumes the cylinder moved as directed. When enabled (nte=0) the same amount of time is allowed for the appropriate sensor to be detected before a timeout error is generated.

• On TEC lower command, timeout occurs if firmware failed to sense TEC Lowered OR if it still senses TEC Raised; UNLESS al bad_te_sensor is set manually, in which case only TEC Lowered is checked. Also vica versa if TEC raise command.
