Picomotor Controller Software Application

5.6.1

Introduction

Included with the Picomotor controller is a Windows software application to
facilitate quick, user-friendly motion system check via controller's USB or Ethernet
interfaces. This application comes on a USB flash drive or can be downloaded from
the product's Newport.com web page 'Downloads' section.
NOTE: If you already have installed a different version of the software and
drivers then it is recommended that you uninstall it first before installing new
software.
Before connecting the instrument to a host PC using a standard Micro-B to USB-A
cable, the user should install the application included in the USB Flash Drive that
accompanies the Unit. The application automatically installs the correct USB
drivers. Communication can be done through this interface by using the application
or by developing software in the user's preferred programming language. The USB
Flash Drive contains the communication drivers and software for operating the
controller/driver.
