It's possible to read and modify drive parameters that are not displayed in the GUI of Granity. This is done by a custom parameter dialog that pops up by Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut.

Reading an arbitrary parameter

1. Open dialog by Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut
2. Enter the desired parameter number to the Display custom parameter in status page spinbox. Note: if non-existing parameter is requested, a communication error will occur and Granity disconnects.
3. Click Apply button on the main window
4. Observe the value of parameter in the Testing tab

Writing/overriding an arbitrary parameter

Before writing a custom parameter, it is advised to read it's current value first by the steps above.

Writing a value:

1. Open dialog by Ctrl+P keyboard shortcut
2. Enter the desired parameter number and value to the Parameter override table. Note: if non-existing parameter number is entered, a communication error will occur and Granity disconnects.
3. Click Apply button on the main window

Notes:

• Up to three parameter & value pairs can be entered to this table
• These values will override the GUI parameter if the same parameter is available on the GUI. I.e. if parameter 202 (KVP) is overridden, then the GUI parameter has no function.
• This table will be saved to the drive memory if Save settings on drive non-volatile memory is clicked so override will stay active after drive restart
• To remove override values, enter zeros to the override table row
