Settings Panel - THORLABS TST101 User Manual

6.3 Settings Panel

When the 'Settings' button on the GUI panel is clicked, the 'Settings' window is
displayed. This panel allows motor operation parameters such as move/jog velocities,
and stage/axis information to be modified. Note that all of these parameters have
programmable equivalents (refer to the Kinesis Server helpfile for further details.
6.3.1 Persisting Settings to Hardware
Many of the parameters that can be set for the Stepper Driver T-Cube can be stored
(persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit is next powered up these
settings are applied automatically. This is particularly important when the driver is
being used manually in the absence of a PC and USB link. The Velocity Profile and
Jogging parameters described previously are good examples of settings that can be
altered and then persisted in the driver for use in absence of a PC. To save the
settings to hardware, check the 'Persist Settings to the Device' checkbox before
clicking the 'OK button.
The 'Persist Settings' functionality is provided to simplify use of the unit
in the absence of a PC. When the unit is connected to a PC and is
operated via KinesisUser, the default KinesisServer settings will be
loaded at boot up, even if the 'Persist Settings' option has been checked.
