Quick Installation Guide
This chapter describes the order in which connections and settings should typically be made to the HEXRC.
If a custom interconnection drawing was created for your system (look for a line item on your Sales Order
under the heading “Integration”), that drawing can be found on your installation device.
The HEXRC is provided to the user fully configured for operation of a Hexapod, including servo tuning for
the user's load requirements (if provided to Aerotech).
For additional information about HEXRC , programming, utilities, and system operation see the A3200Help
file in the Aerotech folder of the Windows Start menu on the HEXRC.
