Be sure to have the translation stage powered on and connected to
your PC via RS232 cable.
Ensure that the selected port is not used by a different application at the
same time.

Once the translation stage has been initialized a program restart re-
initializes the stage automatically when it is connected to the computer

mounted in a way that prevents any contact to ambient mechanical

lenses, holders or other mechanics may be damaged!
