MCT will search the serial ports on the PC until the MintDrive
is detected.
If the MintDrive is not found, check the serial connection and
click Rescan.

Check that Axis-0 is highlighted.
Note: If you need to change the c onfiguration, click on the
highlighted line to display the Axis Configuration dialog.

The Wizard Axes Scale Parameterswindow allows you tosetup
a scaling factor for later use when controlling the MintDrive.
Select Counts per revolution in the Scale to box.
This means that references to movement can be expressed in
revolutions, rather than encoder counts.
Note: Mint defines all positional and speed related motion
keywords in terms of encoder quadrature counts (for
servo motors) or steps for stepper motors. The scale
factor allows the system to be scaled to your own units
(called user units) to suit your application.
With a resolver or 1024 line encoder, a scale factor of
4096 gives a user unit of revolutions.
Note: Even though you may have a MintDrive with the resolver
option fitted, the input from the resolver is converted into
simulated encoder counts inside the MintDrive.
