Abstract
An impact force measurement associated with a test of a moveable barrier operator is obtained. An impact force signal representing the impact force measurement is generated. The impact force signal is received at a controller. Based upon the impact force represented by the signal, an adjustment of the at least one performance parameter of the moveable barrier operator is determined. The at least one parameter is then adjusted by the controller. A secondary protection device may thereafter be added as appropriate.
