Chapter 3
Thorlabs offers a compact, multi-way power supply unit (TPS008), allowing up to
eight Driver T-Cubes to be powered from a single mains outlet. A single way wall plug
supply (TPS001) for powering a single Driver T-Cube is also available.

Connect The Hardware
1) Perform the mechanical installation as detailed in Section 3.2.
2) Install the APT Software - see Section 3.1.
3) Connect the stepper motor actuator to the Controller unit - see Section 3.3.1.
4) Connect the Controller unit to the power supply - see Section 3.3.2.
5) Connect the PSU to the main supply and switch ‘ON’.
6) Connect the Controller unit to your PC.
7) Windows
TM
should detect the new hardware. Wait while Windows
TM
installs the
drivers for the new hardware - see the Getting Started guide for more information.

Select the Stage Type (using APTConfig)
To ensure that a particular stage is driven properly by the system, a number of
parameters must first be set. These parameters relate to the physical characteristics
of the stage being driven (e.g. min and max positions, leadscrew pitch, homing
direction etc.).
To assist in setting these parameters correctly, it is possible, using the APT Config
utility, to associate a specific stage type and axis with the motor controller. Once this
association has been made, the APT server applies automatically, suitable default
parameter values on boot up of the software.
Warning
The unit must be connected only to a DC supply of 15V, 1A regulated.
Connection to a supply of a different rating may cause damage to the unit
and could result in injury to the operator.
Note
The USB cable length should be no more than 3 metres unless a powered
USB hub is being used.
Note
If the APTConfig utility is not used to associate a particular stage, the
software will associate a ZST206 type actuator by default.
Even if a stage type and axis has been associated with the controller, it is
still possible to alter these parameters if required, (e.g. for a custom stage
type not selectable using the APT Config utility) - see Section 6.3.2.
