2.2 Tuning your system and verifying basic
operation
If you are using a PC running DOS, Windows 3.x, or Windows 95 or can run DOS applications
using another type of computer, you can use MEI’s SETUP program to tune your motion system
and to verify basic controller operation. From within this application, you can modify tuning,
generate point to point motion, and test various other aspects of the controller.
Before following these instructions, be sure to properly wire your system as described in chapter
6, “Motor Wiring,” and chapter 7, “I/O Wiring.”
Verifying Operation - Servos
Follow these instructions if your application uses
SERVO
motors.
1. From the factory, the DSPpro is configured to connect to the SETUP program running on the
host PC. If you have not modified the DSPpro flash memory,
skip to step 6
.
2. Insert the disk labeled
DSPpro Quick Start Disk
into the floppy disk drive of your PC.
3. If you are using the
DSPpro-Serial or DSPpro-VME
, execute the program by typing
REMSVR
from a DOS prompt on your host PC. If the DSPpro console cable is connected to
COM2 of your PC, execute REMSVR by typing
REMSVR /2

from a DOS prompt on your host PC. The
/r
switch reboots the controller before starting
RCONSOLE. You will see the following output in the RCONSOLE window of your PC:

4. The DSPpro will then reboot, booting from the
DSPpro Quick Start Disk
in the floppy drive
of your host PC. You will see the following output in the REMSVR or RCONSOLE window
of your PC:
