4. Select the driver (corresponding to your hardware) and configuration.
For all continuous rotation stages, you can choose between a "regular" stage
configuration and a "Spindle" configuration. A Spindle is a specific rotary device
with a periodic position reset at 360° (by default), meaning 360° equals 0°. When
defining the stage as Spindle in the stages.ini, you must assign this stage also to a
Spindle group in the system configuration and vice versa. For details about Spindles,
please refer to section 6.3.
5. Once the stage name appears, you can modify it as needed(see comments above).
6. The box "Use ESP Compatibility for Hardware detection" is checked by default. If
your stage has an ESP chip inside (see the ESP-compatible sticker on the stage) this
box should remain checked. Otherwise, with vacuum compatible stages or with old
Newport stages, or with non-Newport stages, uncheck this box.
7. Click on "Add new stage" to add the stage.
Once all stages have been added, you can review or modify these parameters from
the screen "Modify" under the main tab STAGE.
From this screen, you have access to all stage parameters. Only experienced
users should modify these parameters. For the exact meaning of the different
parameters, please refer to the document ConfigurationWizard.pdf, accessible
from the main tab DOCUMENTATION.
8. When finished with all stages, click on "Manual Configuration" under SYSTEM.
The following screen appears:
9. Enter a group name.
For example, if you are setting up two ILS stages, you can set them up as two Single
Axis groups, one XY group or one or two MulipleAxis groups. Any group name can
be given. In the example the name of the XY group is MyXYGroup.
10. Click on "ADD" to get to the next screen:
