	When the bell is swinging, the display will indicate the current Swing Angle to the nearest tenth of a degree, the Motor Pulse time in milliseconds, the Tempo in beats per minute, the motor RPM (for rotary) and "*" will blink when feedback from the sensor occurs. The Ideal Pulse is the time in milliseconds that will maintain the desired swinging angle. Status will be ''Start, Stop, Restart, StartP, Calc-P'' or ''Calc-Imp,'' indicating the swinging/calculation mode.

	Either a slotted code wheel with sensors are mounted to the motor or a rotary sensor assembly is coupled to the swinging bell axle for this system to accurately measure the swinging angle and direction.		Either a slotted code wheel with sensors are mounted to the motor or a rotary sensor assembly is coupled to the swinging bell axle for this system to accurately measure the swinging angle and direction.

	The label on the motor control computer PCB should read 'SENSOR.' For motors without a code wheel and sensor, a proximity switch is used for motion feedback. In that case, verify that the CPU chip on the intelliSwing Precision motion controller has a label that reads 'PERIOD' and use the [[MagForce_motor_system_installation#~~Programming_Procedure~~\|MagForce PERIOD programming procedure]].

	For each bell we need to calculate the value for Transmission. Take the diameter in inches of the wheel (on the rim where the chain runs) ''multiplied by'' 6.28 (π ''divided'' by the chain pitch, generally 1/2 inch) and ''divide'' the result by the number of teeth on the cog.
