Oscilloscope
Use the Oscilloscope app in Zaber Launcher to view high-
resolution data about the device. For example, you can view the
target trajectory and the encoder measured position for servo
devices in order to validate the active tuning parameters.
Manual Knobs
Most Zaber devices include a manual knob for moving the unit
without a computer connection. Devices still need to be connected
to a power source for the manual knob to work.
