Press '''ON''' to start the first automated experiment. Status on the lower right of the display will read ''StartP'' until the system has fired the number of impulses you specified in StaImp, or the flag exits the sensor. Next it will read ''Start'' as it approaches the desired angle. When it begins to search for the ideal pulse, it will read ''CalcImp.''

'''Problems'''
* If the bell isn't swinging high enough to ring, but the controller stops sending impulses to the motor during CalcImp, then increase Angle.
* If the bell isn't swinging high enough to ring, but the controller stops sending impulses to the motor during CalcImp, then increase Angle.
* If the bell kicks too high on the first pulse, reduce power in the %Start and PowerStaSwi parameters.
* If the bell kicks too high on the first pulse, reduce power in the %Start and/or PowerStaSwi parameters.
* If the bell seems to be fighting itself to get started, experiment with smaller values of %Start.
* If the bell seems to be fighting itself to get started, experiment with smaller values of %Start.
* If you get ''ErrBlo'' (blocked bell):
* If you get ''ErrBlo'' (blocked bell):
** It may need more pulses to exit the sensor. Try increasing StaImp.  
** It may need more pulses to exit the sensor. Try increasing StaImp.  
** Check that you properly set the 1Oscillation above. If it is still 900, you did not complete the procedure. Do it again.
** Check that you properly set the 1Oscillation [[#Initialize]]above. If it is still 900, you did not complete the procedure. Do it again.
* When ''Swing'' appears on the display, the system has calculated the ideal impulse (middle value on the lower line on the status screen) to swing the bell. If you would like the bell to swing higher or lower, try other values for Angle and MaxAmpli. It will recalculate the ideal impulse based on changes you make at this time.
 
When you like the angle and the display again says ''Swing'' you can press '''ON''' to stop the bell swinging. Wait for the bell to come to a full stop.

The terminal display will indicate ''Restart'' to indicate that the second experiment is required.
