QUICKSTART WITH QUICKBASIC

This is a quick procedure for hooking up the CLCI2000 Series Computer Board with a Driver and Step Motor.

1.Plug the CLCI2000 Series Computer Indexer into the computer.

2.Connect the cable from the computer to the DPI Series Driver Pack (verify that the LED lights up when the connector is plugged in), or alternately, connect only the Clock, Direction, and 0VDC signals from the computer connector to the driver pack.

3.Check the Driver for the appropriate voltage or current settings (whatever applies for specific driver/motor used).

4.Make sure that Power is OFF to the Driver, and connect the Step Motor to the Driver. Make sure the wires are firmly connected.

5.Start QuickBASIC. (If you do not think that you have a copy of QuickBASIC - Microsoft shipped this with all versions of DOS 5.0 and greater - look in your DOS Directory for QBASIC.EXE.)

6.Type ALT-F(hold the ALT Key down and type F)

7.Type B:\SAMPLE3.BAS (AND HIT ENTER 5)

(it is assumed here that the disk is in drive B - if the disk was put somewhere else, enter the correct path)

8.Type ALT-Rand choose RUN (hold the ALT Key down and type R, then use the arrow keys)

If all this was done successfully, the motor should turn 400 steps, pause for 1 second, and go 400 steps again.
