Hey I just got my hands on the GE sentry Software kit. I got the CD and a connector that will link to a T2 controller. I needed to order a Extra cable that will allow me to Adopt from the nine pin serial port to a USB. Seeing as how my laptop doesn’t have a nine pin serial port . My question was has anyone played with this software. And what are the most common adjustments people are making? This is for a 2002 with a T to controller and a 7.5 hp motor ---

I just received my GE Sentry Software and cables, mine was for a T3 Controller, I used a Tripp-Lite Model #U209-000-R, purchased it at Amazon for about $20.00, works great, I have not changed any of my settings as of yet, I also have the bigger motor, need to change the RPM’s and a few other things, I did save out my older settings and printed them out also. Great software, cables are first class, a little learning curve for a few days but it all came together this evening, now I can come back on the forum and read more. Good Luck Don ---

Interesting enough to I got my cables today. The factory cable is a Joke. It’s stupid that you have to order a secondary cable from a 3rd party vendor just to get started. Ok with that out of the way. I’m ready to go. I need to somehow get the softwear on my laptop (it has no cd drive) and once I get it loaded up “then what”? ---

I would copy everything on the CD to a USB jump drive and run it from it. ---

There are three PDF files you should take time to read before you start, I haven’t made any changes to my Controller yet, do make a backup before you do any changes. I have a controls expert I work with and he will make the changes, he knows motors and controls, was an electric forklift specialist, he now builds special automatic programmers for our assembly lines ---

Anyone with T2 advice. I have a T3 in another car with a R4F motor and a 4 pole magnet. Let us know what settings worked out for you ---

There is a guy on the forum that know more about Gem cars than the people that make them, he’s been away for awhile, a car accident, but back at it now. His name is Marlon, search it, you should find his email and phone number. Hope this helps Don ---

Grant Open this and download and print out the T2 file and study it for at least 3 days. Then write down your questions and I will try to give you the answers. [Download Technical Manuals for Electric Forklift, Golf Cart Controls](http://www.fsip.biz/GEManualsDownload.html) Rodney
