PRINCIPAL SYSTEM COMPONENTS IMPORTANT NOTE: For user convenience, the components of the UMS are fully assembled and wired together.
- Page 4 4 of 8 Motion Control Actuators and Frame Description This component is principally concerned with the movement of the hydrophone within the measurement tank. There are four linear motion stages (3 powered, 1 slave). Each linear actuator is based upon a 2mm pitch ball screw that is driven by a stepping motor.
- Page 5 (note the drive controllers remain active via a 24 V dc “logic” supply). This is clearly undesirable if the UMS is in the middle of a measurement, and the cabinet door should therefore be kept shut at all times. A black plastic handle for the cabinet is included with the UMS.

If you have purchased a PC for this purpose from PAL, all the necessary software will have been pre-installed. If however you are using your own PC then further set up will be required.
