If the gain is turned down(to the left) the slope will pivot from the cut in point and then the slope will deviate and run shallower than the IDC slope.
Conversely, if the gain is turned up, the slope will rise, injecting more as the IDC gets higher.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and I have modified the HFS-6 trimmers worksheet for the HFS-3 control board. This should give you a visual representation of how the trimmers will affect the injection slope. You can plug numbers into the colored boxes at the top of the spreadsheet and watch the slope change. Please don't change any of the values on the other sheets as these are all the calculations to make it work. |
Jeff, thanks for making the spread sheet. It works very well. I intend to increase gain more because if the trip point is set very late, there isn't that much signal to amplify. In most cases, user will rely on the red led (<95%) to monitor the maximum gain is reached. Thje gain adjust is useful tool. Overall spray volume is governed by the jet size.
