Dummy Stages

"Dummy stage" configuration can be used to simulate a stage. This feature allows users
to configure and test the system's behavior without having a real stage connected on the
axis.
To configure your system with a number of dummy stages see ESP302 User Interface
Manual.

ESP302 controller also automatically creates/updates a system configuration file upon
