The PHASES Off-road™, PHASES Master™, PHASES Premier™, PHASES Easy™ et PHASES Easy Design™software are components
description
of the SMARTDRIVETM hydrostatic transmission control system developed by POCLAIN HYDRAULICS (see brochure CAR F Elloder).
Functional
Installed on a computer running a Windows OS and connected
to a SD ECU (Electronic Control Unit) via its serial port or USB
thanks to the USB/Serial adapter, the PHASES software can be
used to carry out configuration, optimization and maintenance
operations for the SMARTDRIVE hydrostatic transmission
systems in the best possible ergonomic conditions.

User
In particular, it allows the user:
1 - to update the embedded software loaded in the SD ECUs via

downloads;

Installation
2 - to adjust and control the operating parameters of the SD
ECU;
3 - to calibrate and to check the functioning of the sensors

connected to the SD ECU;
4 - to diagnose the possible malfunctions of the hydrostatic

transmission by displaying the logical error log memorized by
operations
the SD ECU;
Usual
5 - to define the software loaded for the Easy Design option.
Using the PHASES application requires the previous acquisition of an operating license from POCLAIN HYDRAULICS. The validity of this
license is monitored by a hardware key (dongle) to be installed on the parallel port of the PC.

USER INTERFACE
The user interface provides a simple and intuitive access to the functions.
The screen is divided into two areas, which group together:
• menus to access the functions of the software or data edit grids in the upper area;
• user interface commands in the lower area.
In the example below, the screen was visually changed to show both display types:

This contains one of the two following types of feature:
• The function selection buttons of the PHASES software programs. These buttons are grouped together on several screens, access to which
is hierarchized depending on the usual logic used to access the different functions of the software programs (send, receive & open file,
customization, calibration, diagnostic).
• The edit data grids, each line of which represents a parameter used by the SD ECU to command the hydrostatic transmission and the traction
control system. These parameters are recorded in the SD ECU memory or in a PC file. Depending on the grid, the information describes the
parameter, the value read in the SD ECU memory and the units. The values that can be changed by the user can be edited directly in the grid
cells as is done with a spreadsheet.

Note on the configuration files

During initial access to SD ECU data (by opening a PHS
parameters file or direct connection to an SD ECU), PHASES
opens a window requesting the designation of a source file
containing the configuration required for operation. After
designation of the source, usually the CD Rom, PHASES
copies the configuration from the source to the hard disc,
then loads the data to the memory.
When this data is accessed again, PHASES will load the
configuration automatically and directly from the data saved
to the hard disc.

This window contains on its left-hand part the list of the

signals available (Input/Output and displays). On the right-
hand side, it is possible to choose the color of the curve
associated with the signal chosen, and to select the display
range of the curve. Predefined display ranges are proposed
by default (0.5 V for an analogical input, 0..100% for a display
whose unit is the percentage...).
However, it is possible to choose another display range. It is
also possible to type in the desired display range.
Once your choices are made, you can click on OK to return to

The block which was grey is now the same color than the
curve you have just chosen, and you can read the name of
the selected signal there.

not) the curve. This function is useful when several curves are
simultaneously displayed on screen, and when you want to
focus on one or some of these curves.
The check mark on the right of the block allows to display the
scale for the selected channel. If two channels (or more) use
the same unit and the same range of display, it is thus

This button allows you to start and stop data recording. During the recording, the curve slips towards the left. Later on, you will be
able to visualize the whole curve.

With the Hand tool you can browse in the curve. Click on the curve and make it slip horizontally and/or vertically. You can also
browse in the curve by using the vertical and horizontal scrowlers (it is not necessary to select the hand tool to use the scrowlers).
The Cursor tool displays on the curve a cross (a cursor) which follows the mouse. When the mouse moves, the cursor displays

the value you pass on. While clicking then moving the mouse, a second cursor is displayed with its values. The difference

between these two cursors is also displayed.
The cursor takes the color of the nearest curve.
The Magnet tool (selected by default) enables the Cursor tool to cling to the nearest curve. When the Magnet tool is selected,
you are sure that the displayed value is the curve’s one.
and initial use

Installation
When the cursor is positioned on a real point (corresponding with a sample), the cursor highlights this point, enabling you to make
the difference with an interpolated point (between two sampled points).
When the Magnet tool is not selected, the cursor moves freely under the mouse.
The Zoom tool allows to zoom on the curve.

Select this tool, then click on the curve and move the mouse while maintaining the button pressed to define the new displaying
window. As soon as you release the button of the mouse, the curve is displayed again according to the new defined window.
operations
Usual
The Sample tool displays a small square on each sampled point. This function is useful to differentiate the sampled points from
the interpolated points (between two sampled points).

Click on the middle of one of these segments, and then move it, to define the vertical position of the curve concerned.
This function is useful to organize the position of the curves and thus facilitate their interpretation.
The Background color tool allows to choose the background color of the curves. This function allows to make curves more
readable according to the lighting conditions (outside, in particular).

The scrowlers at the right and at the bottom allows to browse in the curve.
It is possible to move in the curve by clicking on the middle of a scrowler, or to modify only one tip of the scrowler. Then, you
obtain a zoom effect.
Double-click on a scrowler to give it its maxima values. This ensures that all the vertical or horizontal range is displayed.
