As a simple first test, try entering:
/
renumber
/1
home
/1
move rel
10000
The parameter of 10000 in the move command above specifies 10000 increments. To see the increment size
(default resolution) for the peripheral and how it translates to displacement, first go to the
product overview
page,
find your device, click through to the device's webpage, and click on the "Series Specs" tab. The increment size
(default resolution) will be shown in the list of product specs either in the "Group Specifications" section or the
"Comparison" section.
Daisy-Chaining Devices
Multiple devices can be connected together in a chain through the Prev and Next connectors. This allows any
number of devices to be controlled from a single connection to a computer, reducing cabling demands. In addition,
X-Series devices carry power through the daisy chain, so in most cases a power supply only needs to be connected
to one device in the chain. Whenever a device is added or removed from a chain, a
renumber
command should be
sent to prevent device-address conflicts.
To daisy-chain X-Series devices with A-Series devices:
Ensure all devices are set to the same baud rate and the A-Series devices are using the ASCII
communication protocol before connecting them.
Connect any X-Series devices at the start of the chain (closest to the computer). This configuration will
reduce the number of adaptor cables required.
