with the Omega series digital amplifiers. MotionMaestro
©
has many dialogs with values shown in en-
gineering units to make it easy to select and setup the features of the amplifier. MotionMaestro

izes the standard ASCII command set and protocols. Although it is not necessary to use MotionMaes-
tro

, installation, setup and tuning is made easier through its use.
MotionMaestro
©
has many features that allow application engineers to easily configure a digital amp to
an application. It has a terminal mode that operates at 115k baud transmission rates, an oscilloscope
that can be used to monitor amplifier signals and a tuning dialog that can be used to control the motor
input. By using the oscilloscope and tuning dialog, one can monitor step response to determine filter
parameters for optimal control loop performance.
