| KISSsoft Updates System Module Operating Modes |
The KISSsoft System Module allows you to predefine virtually any possible combination of shifting positions and boundary setups in a transmission or gearbox. They are then combined into Operating Modes. These operating modes specify which clutches, switching elements, or brakes are active and which load is applied at specific system boundaries at a given situation.
