6.5 Further configuration
Mint W orkBench provides a number of other tools for testing and configuring the MicroFlex e100.
Every tool is explained fully in the help file. Press F1 to display the help file, then navigate to the
Mint WorkBench book. Inside this is the Toolbox book.
6.5.1 Fine-tuning tool
The Commissioning Wizard calculates many parameters that allow the MicroFlex e100 to
provide basic control of the motor . These parameters may need to be fine-tuned to provide the
exact response that you require. The Fine-tuning screen allows you to do this.
1. Click the Fine-tuning icon in the Toolbox on the left of the screen.
The Fine-tuning window is displayed at the right of the screen.
This already shows some of the parameters that have been
calculated by the Commissioning Wizard.
The main area of the Mint WorkBench window displays the
capture window . When further tuning tests are performed, this will
display a graph representing the response.
2. The Fine-tuning window has several
tabs at the bottom - Position, Velocity,
Current, SRamp etc. Click on a tab to
select it.

Note: Some tabs may not be available depending on the configuration mode you selected
in the Commissioning Wizard.
