Chapter 5

Software Reference

5.1

Introduction

This chapter gives an explanation of the parameters and settings accessed from the
APT software running on a PC. For information on the methods and properties which
can be called via a programming interface, see Appendix D 

.

5.2

GUI Panel

The following screen shot shows the graphical user interface (GUI) displayed when
accessing the DC controller using the APTUser utility.

Fig. 5.1   Motor Controller Software GUI

Note

The serial number of the single channel driver cards is derived from the 

base unit serial number, with the ‘73’ prefix being replaced with ‘94’ and 

the subsequent 6 digit number incremented by ‘1’ for each card in the 

system, e.g. a 2-channel unit with a base serial number 73123456 will 

have card serial numbers 94123457 and 94123458.

The serial number of the driver card associated with the GUI panel, the 

APT server version number, and the version number (in brackets) of the 

embedded software running on the unit, are displayed in the top right 

hand corner. This information should always be provided when 

requesting customer support.
