5.4. Calibrating the Stepper Motors

Stepper motors of the instrument should be calibrated after installation of equipment and/or

control software as well as after repairing malfunction of the instrument (e.g., caused by

power failure).

The Next Motors panel provides controls of all instrument modules that contain stepper

motors. Calibration of the stepper motors is required for correct operation of the

instrument.

Fig. 5-15.

Next Motors panel

To calibrate the stepper motors, perform the following steps using the Next Motors panel:

1. Open the stepper motors control window of the desired module by clicking the

corresponding button (see Table 1 below).

NOTE. The instrument modules employ one or two stepper motors. Appearance of the

stepper motors control window is that shown in Fig. 5-16 a for modules with one motor

or shown in Fig. 5-16 b for modules with two motors.
