Section 3. Initial Setup

This section describes how to set up the LC for use with your machine tool. It’s very important that the software and hardware are set up properly before you attempt to operate the machine tool. Otherwise, the machine may behave in a potentially dangerous manner. Please read through this section carefully to get a good understanding of how the LC controls your machine.
