Gen3_ITC - Software - Change Between Automatic & Manual Tool Selection

Notes
The EQSS ITC Gen 3 LMS system can be set to automatic attachment tool recognition or it can be set to manual
When the Gen-3 system is configured for automatic tool selection, the system will read the identification tag on the attachment. The Gen 3 system will then automatically change the system to the matching attachment.

If the attachment has multiple configurations (e.g multiple knuckle positions) the attachment selection menu will be shown to select the correct configuration. To change the selected configuration, access the attachment selection menu.

If the machine has multiple attachments without identification tags, the attachment selection menu will be shown if an attachment can't be identified. When using automatic tool selection the attachment window may show the following messages
  1. No Attachment – There is currently no attachment on the ITC or the system can't find the identification tag.
  2. Attachment Not Calibrated – The Gen-3 system has recognised an attachment but the system has not yet been calibrated for the attachment.
  3. Unknown Attachment – The Gen-3 system has read an identification tag that is not in the system.
When any of the above messages are shown, no visual rating chart is shown on the screen and the system is de-rated to 80% of the standard fork rating charts.
