5) For the OptoDCDriver, the ‘Channel’ field, defaults to ‘1’.
6) In the ‘Stage’ field, select the ‘Z612B’ actuator type from the list displayed (for a
12mm travel Z612 actuator).
7) Click the 'Add/Change Stage Association' button. The Z612(B) actuator and serial
number are added to the list in the main window as shown above.
8) Shut down the APTConfig utility and start the APTUser utility to verify the Z612(B)
actuator settings just associated - see Section 4.3.
This is necessary because the server reads in the stage and controller information
on boot up.
See the APT Config utility on line help for further information.
