Servo Device Tuning
Servo devices should be tuned to optimize their performance for a
specific load. The default parameters used assume there is no load
added to the stage. You can tune the parameters for your load,
and to adjust the smoothness, accuracy, and responsiveness of
the performance, using the Servo Tuner app in Zaber Launcher. It
also provides options for tuning with PID parameters and saving or
loading tuning sets.
The controller can store multiple tuning presets for different loading
conditions. There is also a separate live tuning set, which is the
active tuning. A setting determines which stored preset is loaded
at power up. The Servo Tuner app lets you load and store between
the presets and the live set.
If an invalid tuning is loaded to the live set, the motion may become
unstable. Press Disable Driver to quickly cut power to the motor.
