MCT will search the serial ports on the PC until the MintDrive is detected.

If the MintDrive is not found, check the serial connection and click Rescan.

Check that Axis-0is highlighted.

Note: If you need to change the configuration, click on the highlighted line to display the Axis Configuration dialog.

The Wizard Axes Scale Parameters window allows you to setup a scaling factor for later use when controlling the MintDrive.

Select Counts per revolution in the Scale to box.

This means that references to movement can be expressed in revolutions, rather than encoder counts.

Note: Mint defines all positional and speed related motion keywords in terms of encoder quadrature counts (for servo motors) or steps for stepper motors. The scale factor allows the system to be scaled to your own units (called user units) to suit your application.

With a resolver or 1024 line encoder, a scale factor of 4096 gives a user unit of revolutions.

Note: Even though you may have a MintDrive with the resolver option fitted, the input from the resolver is converted into simulated encoder counts inside the MintDrive.
