Caution
The following items relate to the single channel Drive Cards fitted to the
controller, and not the parent 3-channel controller housing.
Note
To use the increased resolution and velocity funcitionality offered by
these controllers, the stage types prefixed by ‘HS’ (e.g. HS NanoMax 300
X Axis) must be selected. Selecting a stage/actuator type without the ‘HS’
prefix will result in reduced velocity and resolution.
