4. Install software from the Software page. For the initial setup, using Zaber Console is
recommended.
As a simple first test, try entering:
/renumber
(T:2)
/1 home
(T:1)
/1 move rel 10000
(T:21:10000)
The parameter of 10000 in the move command above specifies 10000 microsteps. To see the
microstep 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 microstep size (default resolution) will be shown in the list of product
specs either in the "Group Specifications" section or the "Comparison" section.
6.1. 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 (T:2) command should be sent to prevent
device-address conflicts.
