Computer implemented method for adjusting a fastener setting tool

A fastener setting tool comprising:

• a sensor operable to measure a first parameter associated with a first characteristic of the fastener setting tool, wherein the first characteristic comprises one of a torque of a motor of the fastener setting tool or a velocity of a setting portion of the fastener setting tool;
• a data processing system comprising means for carrying out the steps of:
• comparing the first parameter to a predetermined parameter, wherein the difference between the first parameter and the predetermined parameter represents a condition of the fastener setting tool;
• calculating an adjustment based on the comparison, wherein the adjustment is to a second characteristic of the fastener setting tool, the second characteristic comprising the other of a torque of a motor of the fastener setting tool or a velocity of a setting portion of the fastener setting tool, the adjustment configured to compensate for the condition of the tool;
• and
• providing an instruction to the fastener setting tool, wherein the instruction comprises the adjustment;
• and
• means to apply said adjustment to the tool;
• wherein the adjustment comprises an instruction to increase the electrical stimulation provided to a motor of the fastener setting tool.
