1- Run/Stop Button

This button will cause the PC to send the run commands to the controller and will update the screen with measurements received from the controller.

When the program is running, the button’s caption changes to “Stop”. Pressing it again will stop the motors and halt the exchange of data between the PC and the controller.

If you select another tab while the program is running, the program will stop as if the Stop button was pressed.

2- Motor Power setting

This sub-frame contains a slider and several buttons. Moving the slider in any direction away from the middle (stop) position will cause a power command to be issued to the con- troller. The value of the command is shown in the text field below the slider.

The stop button will cause the slider to return to the middle (stop) position and a 0-value command to be sent to the controller. The + and ++ buttons will cause the slider to move by 1 or 10 power positions respectively.

3- Measurement

These series of fields display the various operating parameters reported in real-time by the controller:

The Amps field reports the current measured at each channel. The Peak Amps field will store the highest measured Amp value from the moment the program began or from when the peak was reset using the Clr Peak button.
