5.12 Tutorial B: Operating the Oscilloscope
5.12.1 Creating a curve
5.12.2 Configuring the electronic unit
User Manual V1.01
In this section two real application examples are demonstrated and discussed. In order to
have a well specified starting point it is necessary to create a reference curve, load it on
the electronic unit and configure the unit accordingly.
We want to create a simple curve that will be executed by the motor during the
recordings with the Oscilloscope. It is assumed that the user is already familiar with the
Curve Inspector and the Curve Editor.
We open the Curve Inspector and create a new curve. Here we set "Drive Type" to
"LinMot". Under "Wizard Type" we select "Manual" and we enter 1000 ms for "Time".
Then we enter six values, the first 3 set to 5 mm, the others set to 50 mm.
We now close the curve (with the "OK" button) and write it to the electronic unit (by
moving it in the download window and then clicking "Download").
The easiest way is to start from the standard or default configuration. This can be
imported in the Parameter Inspector by clicking on "Import". It is important to load a
configuration that is compatible to the electronic unit being used (under Defaults\). Now
you can select the type of motor connected (LinMot Pxx-23 or LinMot Pxx-37) under
Drives\Drive A\Type and then select the "Continuous" mode under Drives\Drive A\Set
Value Generation\Run Mode. With this the necessary settings are made. At this point
clicking on "Start" in the Control Panel initializes the motor and starts running the curve
cyclically.
