APT Config Utility
There are many system parameters and configuration settings associated with the
operation of the APT Server. Most can be directly accessed using the various
graphical panels, however there are several system wide settings that can be made
’off-line’ before running the APT software. These settings have global effect; such as
switching between simulator and real operating mode, associating mechanical stages
to specific motor actuators and incorporation of calibration data.
The APTConfig utility is provided as a convenient means for making these system
wide settings and adjustments. Full details on using APTConfig are provided in the
online help supplied with the utility.
Use of the APT Config utility is covered in the PC tutorial (Chapter 4) and in the
APTConfig online help file, accessed via the F1 key when using the APTConfig utility.
