Definitions:

Fast Adaptive Mode

High-speed processing algorithms; Allison uses this term to describe an operating condition in which large changes are made to initial shift conditions to adjust for major system tolerances such as solenoid-to-solenoid, main pressure, and clutch-to-clutch variations. A new or newly rebuilt transmission should be programmed to operate in fast adaptive mode.

Close-ratio Gearing

A transmission design where the gear ratios are closer together, allowing the engine to operate more consistently near its optimal RPM for performance.

Standard Gear Ratios

The predefined set of gear ratios used in transmissions to optimize vehicle performance and fuel efficiency under normal driving conditions.

Latching Solenoid

A solenoid device that can hold its position (engaged or disengaged) without needing continuous electrical power, a reemphasis on its function for maintaining states.
