MICT is an abbreviation for 

MOTORTECH Integrated Configuration Tool

. You configure your 

VariStep3 stepper motor driver via the MICT and can adjust it to the master control and the 
device connected (gas mixer or throttle). 

If you are using a different version of the MICT than shown in the following sections, the scope of 
functions may differ. 

 

8.1 

 

MICT System Requirements 

For the installation of the MICT, the following minimum requirements must be fulfilled: 

– 

x86-compatible PC, at least performance class Intel Pentium 4 with 2 GHz 

– 

128 MB free RAM 

– 

250 MB free disk space 

– 

USB interface 1.1 or higher 

– 

Display with a resolution of at least 1440 x 900 pixels (WXGA+) 

– 

Microsoft

®

 Windows 7, Windows 10 

 

8.2 

 

MICT Installation 

The software for the installation of the MICT is on the data storage device (USB flash dive or CD-
ROM) enclosed with the VariStep3 stepper motor driver.  

To install the MICT, proceed as follows: 

1.

 

Start the installation: 

– 

Via the menu: 
Start the file 

Start.exe

 on the storage device. Start the installation routine of the MICT 

via 

Software -> Install MICT

. 

– 

Directly from the storage device: 
Start the installation routine of the MICT directly. It is on the storage device in the 
subdirectory 

Installation 

 and for example named as follows: 

MICT-2.0.0-setup.exe

. 

2.

 

Run the installation. 
Follow the instructions of the installation routine. Note that the license agreement terms 
must be accepted before using the MICT. 

3.

 

Install the USB driver via the menu as well or directly from the storage device. 

– 

Via the menu: 

Software -> USB Drivers -> Install USB Drivers

 

– 

Directly from the storage device: 
Start the exe file in subdirectory 

Drivers

(e.g. 

CDM21226_Setup.exe

). 

▸

 

You have installed the MICT and can now connect your computer to the stepper motor 
driver via the USB interface.
