6) In the ‘Enter 6 digit serial number’ field, enter the serial number of your OptoDC
unit.
Note. Each physical APT hardware unit is factory programmed with a unique 8 digit
serial number. In order to simulate a set of ‘real’ hardware the Config utility allows an
8 digit serial number to be associated with each simulated unit. It is good practice when
creating simulated configurations for software development purposes to use the same
serial numbers as any real hardware units that will be used. Although serial numbers are
8 digits (as displayed in the ‘Load Configuration Details’ window), the first two digits
are added automatically and identify the type of control unit.
The prefixed digits relating to the OptoDC servo driver are:
63xxxxxx - OptoDC Single Channel Servo Motor Driver
7) Click the ’Add’ button.
8) Repeat items (1) to (7) as required. (A unit can be removed from the configuration
by selecting it in the ’Loaded Configuration Details’ window and clicking the
’Remove’ button or by right clicking it and selecting the ’Remove’ option from the
pop up window).
9) Click ’Save’.
10) Click ’Set As Current’ to use the configuration.
