Operation
The setup software is basically used in the same way as other Windows programs.
Use a decimal point as the decimal symbol, do not use a comma.
Please note that, after an alteration in a parameter on a screen page, you must first click on APPLY, so that the
parameter is transferred to the RAM of the servo amplifier. Only then you should leave the page. If a reset of the
servo amplifier is necessary to activate a function, this will be recognized by the setup software, which will make
a reset after a software confirmation request.
The currently valid data set must be saved in the EEPROM of the servo amplifier, in order to be permanently
stored. So execute the Save Data to EEPROM function on the "Amplifier" page before you switch off the servo
amplifier or quit processing the data set.
Values appearing in red on the screen pages designate parameters that are intended for advanced users
only.
