Start-Up
host software in the host computer. This procedure is described in
the controller User Manual and/or associated software manuals.
2
Connect the stage to the controller using the connecting cable (part
number C-815.38), which comes with the stage. With multi-axis
controllers, be sure to note the axis designation of the connection
selected.
3
M-403 versions with ActiveDrive™ (PWM) only: Connect the stage
to the M-500.PS power supply, which comes with the stage and
connect the power supply to line power (wide range). To activate the
M-500.PS power supply switch the "-/o"-button to position "-".
4
Command a few test moves to make sure everything is working
properly.
For best performance and system compatibility we recommend using PI
controllers.
Most PI controllers come with a graphic-user-interface-software which is
easy to setup and allows quick installation and testing.
NOTE
Most standard controllers and / or software from PI use a DAT file which
contains information on all standard micropositioners and installs
automatically with the host software. This file, called pistages.dat, also
includes an initial set of PID servo-control parameters for each stage
type. If your system does not use pistages.dat, possible PID parameters
are included in this manual.
