K-Cube Brushed DC Servo Motor Driver
6.3.2
Stage/Axis Tab
Fig. 6.4 DC Driver K-Cube - Stage/Axis Settings
Note
This tab contains a number of parameters which are related to the
physical characteristics of the particular stage being driven. They need to
be set accordingly such that a particular stage is driven properly by the
system.
For Thorlabs stages, the system will recognise the stage and the APT
server will automatically apply suitable defaults for the parameters on
this tab during boot up of the software. These parameters should not be
altered for pre-defined Thorlabs stages selected using APT Config, as it
may adversely affect the performance of the stage.
For third party stage types not available using the APT Config utility, the
stage details must be entered manually. Individual parameters are
described in the following paragraphs.
Caution
Extreme care must be taken when modifying the stage related settings
that follow. Some settings are self consistent with respect to each other,
and illegal combinations of settings can result in incorrect operation of
the physical motor/stage combination being driven. Consult Thorlabs for
advice on settings for stage/actuator types that are not selectable via the
APTConfig utility.
