This section contains a discussion of the main features and functions of
the MSP Scope.
O
VERVIEW
The MSP software oscilloscope (or just "scope") takes real-time streaming
data from your ClearPath motor and plots it on a virtual display similar to
that of a hardware oscilloscope.
The scope can be used to display your motor’s real-time shaft torque,
position error, commanded velocity, acceleration, and more. The scope is
an indispensible tool for those who routinely analyze and troubleshoot
electrical, mechanical, and motion-related problems on machines with
ClearPath motors.
To open the scope in MSP navigate to
