Power (1)
Activate the T4X channel. The power can be adjusted from 0-100%, in this case the
duty cycle of the PWM is adjusted.
Frequency(2)
The control frequency of the T4X channel. At this frequency, the PWM output is pulsed.
Channel Phase (3)
The PWM output is not controlled permanently, but pulsed. This pulsing causes the
vibration of the aflex system. The pulse duration is set via the phase setting "Channel
phase" (3). It defines the period during which the output, with appropriate duty cycle
(1), is controlled within a frequency period (2). The maximum channel phase length is
75%.

Slider Min/Max Power (1)
The maximum intensity set by this slider, limits the controller intensity of the actuators.
The intensity is converted as a percentage to the maximum setting. If this is for e.g. set
to 80%, the actuator is only controlled at 80% with a control of 100%.
This function is necessary because the vibration plate is attached to the actuators and
is strongly inhibited if the controller power is too high. This is prevented by limiting the
maximum controller intensity. To compensate for manufacturing tolerances, this setting
can be set individually for each channel.
