Running ClearPath under software control
Before connecting switches, sensors or other I/O devices to your ClearPath, try
running it under software control. This gives you the opportunity to play with any
ClearPath mode you’re interested with no additional wiring burden. We used Manual
Velocity Mode (available on ClearPath MCPV and MCVC models) for this example.
Note: Software control is great for test, development or just learning how ClearPath
modes work; however it is not intended for use in a final machine implementation.
Start Manual Velocity Mode. On MSP’s main menu, go to Mode>Manual Velocity
Mode
. Whenever you select a ClearPath mode, you’ll see a selection window open
(see figure below).
Read all of the text in the window. It explains how the mode
works.
