The LinMot
®
Talk software is a MS-Windows based software designed to support the
user in commissioning and configuring the LinMot
®
electronic unit. The software
features a powerful, modular graphical interface that covers all the tasks involved with
the operation of the LinMot
®
electronic unit. Great care has been taken during the
development of the interface in order to make it easy to upgrade and comfortable to
operate. The five main modules of the software are described shortly in the following
text. A detailed description is found in the following chapters.
With the ‘Control Panel’ the user can start and stop the software on the electronic unit.
The electronic unit can also be reseted from here, and new software can be downloaded.
With the ‘Parameter Inspector’ the parameters of the LinMot
®
electronic unit can be
changed easily. Complete parameter sets can be saved, loaded and printed.
The ‘Curve Inspector’ is used to generate and manage reference curves for the LinMot
®
Electronic. Existing curves can be loaded, saved, merged and printed. New curves can
be created in a simple way.
The ‘Oscilloscope’ helps the user commissioning the LinMot
®
system. It allows real-
time recording, subsequent on-screen viewing and printing of internal variables, like for
example position set value and actual value.
With the ‘Error Inspector’ the user has the possibility to display the error log as well as
the actual pending warnings and errors of the LinMot
®
