Abstract:
1. A method of setting values of a multiplicity of performance parameters of a power driven wheelchair into a controller thereof for use by said controller in the operation of said wheelchair by a user, said method comprising the steps of: grouping the multiplicity of performance parameters of said wheelchair into at least two groups, each group including more than one performance parameter; for each group, determining a value for the selected performance parameter of each group based on the user's capabilities of operating said wheelchair; interfacing with the controller through a display interface of a remote programmer unit to enter said determined value for the selected performance parameter of each group into the controller; deriving automatically by the controller for each group a value for each of the other performance parameters of the group based on the entered value of the selected performance parameter of the group and the corresponding established relationships of each of the other performance parameters with the selected performance parameter of the group; and storing the entered and derived values of the performance parameters into the controller for use thereby in the operation of said wheelchair by the user.
