Note
In order to achieve good settings it is necessary to work using the TMC5130 datasheet. The register
browser of the TMCL-IDE offers helpful information about any parameter which is selected. But the list is
alphabetically. Beyond that, the datasheet explains concepts and ideas which are basically for
understanding how the registers are linked together and which setting will fit for which kind of
application.
For getting more familiar with the evaluation kit in the beginning of your examinations, drive the motor
using velocity mode and/or positioning mode first.
Beyond this, the direct mode function can be used. This way, TMCL commands can be sent to the
evaluation board system. The direct mode dialogue is designed for TRINAMICs board level solutions and
not mainly for evaluation board systems.

Velocity Mode
For moving the motor in velocity mode set two ticks on the left side of the main window to open the
velocity mode dialogue and the velocity graph. Thereafter, choose a target velocity and an acceleration
value and click on one arrow (increasing the position counter or decreasing it) for sending the command
to the evaluation system.
Please note that you get a better value report on the velocity graph if the register browser has been
closed before.
