8 Lead Motors
Series Connection: When configuring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or unipolar)
current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value.
Parallel Connection: When configuring the motor windings in parallel, multiply the per phase (or unipolar)
current rating by 2.0 to determine the current setting potentiometer value.
Note: After the current has been determined, according to the motor connections above, use the potenti-
ometer setting table...

Functions
Soft Limit Switches: These switches cause the pulse generator to ramp down to the base speed before
encountering a hard limit switch. Hard Limit Switches: When a hard limit switch is encountered, the pulses will stop. Hard limits are
intended as an emergency stop for your system.
Profile Inputs: These inputs are used to select the specified speed profile. These inputs are used in
conjuction with the Run input.  If no profile inputs are selected then profile 1 will be used....

Direct mode is used to directly control the motion for real time movements through serial communication.
The pulse generator has 14 commands which are easy to remember for direct movement of a step motor.
COM Port Settings
Baud Rate:9600
Parity:None
Data Bits:8
Stop Bits:1
Flow Control:Xon/Xoff
Unit Selection
In order to select a unit the @ command followed by 0 (address of the unit) must be sent.
NOTE: There should be no spaces between the @ and the 0.
How to select the unit:

A - Acceleration/Deceleration
Format: A#_[value] - where # is the speed profile number 1 thru 4
Sample: A1_255 Accel of profile 1 equals 255
Description: This command sets the acceleration profile which can be an integer value be-
tween 1 and 255. The lower the value the faster the pulse acceleration, so a 1 is
the fastest profile and 255 is the slowest. These values are saved in the EEProm
for standalone use.
Range: 1 - 255
B - Base Speed
Format: B#_[value] - where # is the speed...

G - Go Slew (Run)
Format : G# - where # is the speed profile number 1 thru 4
Description: This command will send clocks out to the pulse generator. The only command
that can stop the clocks is H (stop motion). The S(soft limit) command will make
the pulses go from max speed to base speed. Motion can also be stopped by
using the limit switch inputs. The ramp profile is specified by the B (base speed),
M (max speed), and A (acceleration/deceleration) commands.
H - Hard Limit or Stop...

V - Verify
Description: This command can be used with most commands to verify the register contents.
This is a read only command. Valid Commands are: A, B, C, D, M, R, and +.
Format: V[command]
This format is good for C, D, R, and +.
C - If a 1 is sent back then the driver is in reduced current mode.  If a 0 is sent back
then the driver is not in reduced current mode.
D - If a 1 is sent back then the pulse generator will ramp down to stop when the Run/
Stop input is released.  If a 0...

Troubleshooting
Problem:
Can not establish communications with the pulse generator.
Possible Solutions:
1) Make sure the pulse generator has power. Is the Green LED on.
2) Check RS232 connections.
3) Check for loose cable connection either on the pulse generator or COM Port.
4) Was the software installed successfully?
5) Go to 
Setup | Communication Settings and verify COM port and baud rate settings.
6) Click on 
Connect icon to communicate with the pulse generator.
9) If problems...
