4.2 Mint Configuration Tool Startup Wizard - coarse tuning
Each type of motor and drive combination has a slightly different response. Before the MintDrive can be
used to control the motor accurately, the MintDrive must be “tuned”. This is the process where the
MintDrive powers the motor using a pre-defined set of moves. By monitoring the feedback from the
motor’s resolver or encoder, the MintDrive can make small adjustments to the way it controls the motor.
This information can then be stored in a configuration file, together with other information.
The Mint Configuration Tool (MCT) provides a simple way to tune the MintDrive and create the
configuration file, so this is the first application that should be used.
1. On the Windows
Start
menu,
select Programs , Mint v4 ,

about the configuration, click in
the appropriate text boxes and
enter the information. You can
leave any or all of the boxes
blank if you wish.
