This monitor checks that the gradient is within the limit.

Parameter	Description
Gradient Angle Window	Specifies Angle Window: For Hard Joint: Angle Window = 1 deg. For Soft Joint: Angle Window = 20 deg. Manual: Manually set Angle Window.
Angle Window	Available when Gradient Angle Window is set to Manual. Must be > 0 and <= 100.
End Point Check	If set to Yes, only the gradient measured at the shut off point of the step is checked to be within the limits.
Trigger Torque	The angle measurement starts at this trigger. Must be > 0 and < Tool MaxTorque.
Damping	Frequency in which the gradient is being calculated. Must be > 0 and < 100 and < Angle window.
Low Limit	Lowest acceptable torque gradient. Must be >= -100.
High Limit	Highest acceptable torque gradient. Must be > -100 and > Low limit.
Torque Filter Type	The type of the filter: None: No filtering of the torque is used. The raw values are used as-is in the gradient calculation. Five-point: The torque value used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over 5 torque samples. Low pass: The torque values is filtered with a simple discrete Infinite Impulse Response filter. Sliding Average: The torque values used in the calculation are filtered using a sliding average filter over a Number of Samples specified by the use.
Cut-off Frequency	Needs to be specified when Torque Filter Type is set to Low pass: 20 Hz 40 Hz 90 Hz 200 Hz 600 Hz
Number of Samples	Needs to be specified when Torque Filter Type is set to Sliding Average: 2 4 6 8 16 32
Angle Offset	Available when End Point Check is set to No. Specifies the degrees that the calculation of the gradient start after the trigger torque is passed for the first time.
