Version 2: Oct. 26, 2004 – Updated to reflect changes in the S7100 stepper. In the spring of 2004, the original 7100 stepper was updated. The display was changed and the product name became S7100. Even though some operational steps may differ due to the display change change, product functions are basically the same, and troubleshooting techniques are the same.
