2.3 Kinesis PC Software Overview

2.3.1 Introduction
The T-Cube range of controllers share many of the benefits. These include USB
connectivity (allowing multiple units to be used together on a single PC), fully featured
Graphical User Interface (GUI) panels, and extensive software function libraries for
custom application development.
The Kinesis software suite provides a flexible and powerful PC based control system
both for users of the equipment, and software programmers aiming to automate its
operation.
The User Interface allows full control of all settings and operating modes enabling
complete 'out-of-box' operation without the need to develop any further custom
software. It provides all of the necessary system software services such as generation
of GUI panels, communications handling for multiple USB units, and logging of all
system activity to assist in hardware trouble shooting. It is this Kinesis server 'engine'
that is used by software developers to allow the creation of advanced automated
positioning applications very rapidly and with great ease. The Kinesis server is
described in more detail in Section 2.3.2.
Caution
On start up, wait until the top panel POWER led is lit bright green before
running the Kinesis software.
