Parameters 

 

Disable the stepIM

 

before manipulating motor and feedback 

parameters. 

Many parameters can be modified while the stepIM is enabled. 

Exercise caution, however, as motor behavior will change. 

If a parameter cannot be modified while the stepIM is enabled, ServoStudiowill 
prompt you to disable the stepIM. 

3.3.1

 

Data Entry 

Throughout ServoStudio, you will work with fields containing configurable 
(read/write) drive parameters.  

Whenever you begin entering a parameter value, the field turns blue. 

After entering or modifying a value, press the 

Enter

 key to send the value to the 

drive RAM.  

 

If the value entered is valid, the field reverts to white.  

 

If the value entered is invalid, the last valid value is displayed.  

Gray fields are read-only; the displayed values cannot be modified. 

In ServoStudio, drive parameters may be saved to the drive’s non-volatile 
memory at any time by clicking the 

Save

 button on the toolbar.
