* T-Series devices with firmware version 5.00 to 5.03 may be used with the T-JOY, however their 
command set lacks two useful instructions that were added in version 5.04: Save Current Postion, and Go 
To Saved Position. These instructions are particularly useful in conjunction with the T-JOY since any 
button on the T-JOY may be programmed to issue these instructions to all connected units in order to store 
and recall a position in 3 dimensional space. 

2  FIRMWARE VERSION INFORMATION 

The version of firmware installed on any Zaber T-Series device can be determined by issuing command 
#51. A three-digit number will be returned. Assume 2 decimal places (ex a reply of 504 indicates firmware 
version 5.04). This user’s manual applies only to T-JOY devices with firmware version 5.04 and up. This is 
the most recent version as of this printing; however newer firmware versions may have since been released. 
Due to the addition of new features, newer versions of firmware may not be 100% compatible with older 
versions. For more information on firmware versions that may have been released since the printing of this 
manual, please check the support section of Zaber’s website where user’s manuals for all versions of 
firmware are posted for download.  

3 CAUTION 

Zaber devices are precision instruments and must be handled with care. Avoid using excessive force or 
rapid motion when manipulating the joystick or buttons. Do not force the connectors; when properly 
aligned, only a gentle force should be needed to achieve connection.
