Installing Custom Positioner Databases
PI provides a CD with a custom positioner that has the following contents:
▪
Program Import PI CustomStage
▪
Custom positioner database with the parameter set for the positioner
In order for the parameter set to be selected in the PC software, it must first be inserted into
the PIStages3 positioner database by the Import PI Custom Stage program.
➢
Install the custom positioner database by double-clicking the file
Import_PI_CustomStage.exe
in the root directory of the CD.
The parameter set from the custom positioner database is inserted into PIStages3.
If a message appears that installation of the custom positioner database failed:
