Two-, and Three-Channel Stepper Motor Controller

Changing Motor Parameters
Moves are performed using a trapezoidal velocity profile (see Appendix F , Section
F.1.3.). The velocity settings relate to the maximum veloci ty at which a mo ve is
performed, and the acceleration at which the motor speeds up from zero to maximum
velocity.
1) On the GUI pan el, click th e ‘Settings’ button (bottom right hand corner of the
display) to display the Settings panel.
Fig. 4.4 Settings Panel - Move/Jogs Tab
2) Select the Move/Jogs tab as shown in Fig. 4.4.
3) In the ‘Moves’ field, change the parameters as follows:
‘Max. Vel’ - ‘2.5’
‘Accn/Dec’ - ‘0.5’
4) Click ‘OK’ to save the settings and close the window.
5) Any further moves initiated on channel 1 will now be performed at a maximum
velocity of 2.5mm per second, with an acceleration of 0.5mm/sec/sec.
Note
In current versions of software, the ‘Min Vel’ parameter is locked at zero
and cannot be adjusted.
