Initialization Screen

This screen will be active under five conditions:

1.When the program initially starts up and seeks for a compatible device.

2.The User selects File > Exit when connected to the device.

3.The User clicks the Exit button while connected to the device.

4.The Upgrade Process completes.

5.The SPI Motor Interface is unable to connect to a compatible device.

Port Menu

The Port Menu allows the user to select the COM Port that the device is connected to, either a parallel (LPT) Port, or a Hardware Serial or Virtual Serial Port via USB.

The Reconnect option allows the user to reconnect to a unit using the previously used settings. On open or reconnect, the SPI Motor Interface will also try to auto seek for a connected device.
