Pan Bars Quick Start Guide

14

3.

Power up the Pan Bars.

4.

Start Flair. 

5.

Enable the mimic controls in Flair, either by right-clicking on the 
relevant axes buttons at the top of the Flair window and choosing 

Mimic Setup

 in the pop-up menu, or by using the main menu 

option 

Mimic

 

>

 

Axis Mimic

Setting up Pan Bars (Encoder output only) as a 
Mimic Device in Flair 

Once you plugged the Pan Bars to RT-14 using the Mimic1 or Mimic2 
ports, you can start controlling the axis using the Pan Bars via the Flair 
Motion Control Software. 

You can add up to two mimic devices in Flair using RT-14 called the 

RIC 

Mimic

, or 

Root Mimic 

devices. Each Root mimic device has four mimic 

control axes allocated to it in Flair as Rt Mimic Axis1, Rt Mimic Axis2 etc. 
The procedure below tells you how to configure Flair to recognise the Pan 
Bars. 

1.

Make sure the relevant cables are attached as described in the 
previous section. 

2.

Edit the file 

C:\Flair\Flair

x

\Flair.ini

. This file is a text file 

that you can edit with any text editor such as Notepad, either 
directly or by using the Flair menu option 

Help

 

>

 

View .ini File

You need to add or edit some lines in the file similar to the following 
lines. 

*RICMimic: True  

This allows you to use the Root Mimic inputs. 

Remember to save the file after you have edited it. 

Hint

Flair does not store the 

Mimic

 

>

 

Axis Mimic

 settings from one 

session to the next, so you need to do this step at the start of 
every session. This is for safety reasons, as it would be 
dangerous to start up a robotic system with the mimic devices 
in an unknown state and fully enabled.
