 The initial screen of the Wizard on your computer  is the Motor Test and Setup Wizard  screen 
(Above) 
 Click on “Test Motor” button (1) 
  The  Test Motor  screen will appear 
 
 
                    Page 3 of 27     

This screen allows you to quickly test the motor in four different modes and observe 
motor response to input commands.  To accomplish th e test: 
  Click on the desired servo mode (See #1 in the test  motor screen above)  
Smooth Position  will cause a slow S curve acceleration to a stored  maximum 
position when the motor is enabled. 
 
Smooth Speed  will cause a long acceleration to a stored maximum  velocity when the 
motor is enabled.  
Fast Position  with cause a fast S curve acceleration at a...

 If you are holding the mouse down on the blue bar,  slide the mouse up or down to 
a given point, or click it in the white areas to in crease or decrease the value of the 
selected servo mode. 
  Releasing the mouse while on the blue bar will init iate the selected Servo Mode to 
the position or speed related to the position of th e blue bar. 
  When selecting different servo modes, the Wizard wi ll automatically disable the 
motor as indicated by a lite red border around the  disable ICON. You can...

Motor Setup 
  On the Test and Setup screen below, click on the “ Setup Motor” button (2)  
   
                    
         
 
  
                    Page 6 of 27    

The Setup Motor Screen will appear          
 
  Select desired units for position and/or velocity c ommands and readouts (1,2) 
      by selecting appropriate units of scale in th e pull down menus. 
 
 
  The Setup Restore Options allow you to either reloa d the last stored set of 
program parameters (4) or allow you to reload the i nitial base file parameters (3) 
that came with the SRMD Motor when originally shipp ed. Clicking on the 
Restore From Base File (Or Restore From Motor as Co nnected)...

 Also from this first Setup Screen Menu, you’ll be a ble to change motor direction 
for all programming that has been stored by simply  checking the box (5)  
                 
                                            
 
  
  And, with this screen and many others, any changes  that are made can be directly

ICON. (7) 
                                   
 
  
Once all the above have been defined and selected,  you are...

         
  
 
This screen allows you to program up to 32 velocity  or position commands by entering 
the type of index and the desired values of the ind ex (Idx) (See 3 above). Indexes 0 
through 15 are selectable for execution by using co mbinations of the 4 user defined 
inputs. The remaining 16 indexes can be assigned to  sequences that are started from the 
first 16 indexes, (0 through 15), using the Next com mands and Time commands. 
 
 Before defining your moves or speed profiles, it mu st be...

    index is selected. See # 1 above.  
    
   As a rule of thumb, if your indexes are velocity p rofiles, you may want to initiate 
a new velocity without waiting for a trigger. If yo ur indexes are position moves, 
you will probably want to wait for the current move  to complete and allow the 
new move to execute on a trigger command.  
   
To program the motor: 
 Click your mouse on the first desired index (Idx) ( See #3 above) 
 
  
  Select the index mode of operation for position or  velocity...
