These options are future MKS 4000 features and are currently not implemented.
System Reboot Group
The MKS 4000 can be rebooted through software as if power to the mount was cycled. This
offers benefits such as restarting the mount after a stall (though stalls should be very rare
if these settings are correct, and the mount is properly adjusted) and updating the onboard
control software.
Normal
This reboot option is similar to cycling the power on the mount. The controller will seek
the indexes on each motor
For Flash Update
This type of reboot will put the MKS 4000 in a download ready state for flash updates.
For Motor Indexing
Click this button to reboot the control system allows for modification of the motor index
angles before the controller seeks the index positions. This option would only be used
when replacing or upgrading your control system.
Communications Error Count
This prompt simply displays the number of communications errors that the control system
detected during communication with the host computer.
