Abstract
Real time customization of characteristics of a control unit is conducted, and a control unit can become adaptive to an individual user. The input-output relationship of the control module is regulated by pre-selected control parameters. A method includes the steps of: (a) calculating values of the control parameters; (b) operating the machine using the values of the control parameters; (c) indicating to the user the values of the control parameters in sensorially recognizable form; (d) indicating to the user an intuitively recognizable symbol generalizing the values of the control parameters; (e) selecting or modifying the values of the control parameters by the user using the information indicated in steps (c) and (d) based on the user's evaluation of the performance of the machine; and (f) repeating steps (a) through (e) while operating the machine.
