1.6 Installation procedure overview
Since the RCU10 system may be used in a diverse range of applications, from simple
open-loop calibration systems to complex multi-axis closed loop motion systems, it is
difficult to specify an optimum installation procedure for all cases. However, if sections 2
to 6 of this manual are followed sequentially, as outlined in the procedure below, the user
will be taken through a typical installation process.
Note: The user should be aware that to streamline the installation process, detailed
information has been placed within the appendices. Reference to these appendices is
made where appropriate.
