1.6 Motion System Requirements

To start working with the E-517 interface / display module, your motion

system must also include the following components:

■ The piezo control electronics in which the E-517 is integrated (e.g.

E-500 / E-501 system, E-471 or E-481)

■ The mechanics (piezo stage) with which the piezo control electronics

was calibrated (compare serial numbers)

■ For remote operation via the computer interface:

A PC with Windows operating system (2000, XP, Vista) or Linux

operating system (kernel 2.6, GTK 2.0, glibc 2.4).

Communications interface to the PC and the appropriate cable.

Possible interfaces on the PC are COM port, USB port, GPIB

interface (IEEE 488), or an Ethernet card. The connection between

E-517 and PC can furthermore be made via a free access point on a

network to which the PC is connected.

To command the E-517, at least a terminal emulator must be

installed on the PC. For convenient operation without the need to

learn any commands, it is recommended to install PIMikroMove™

from the E-517 CD. This graphical user interface is included in the

"typical" installation which requires about 50 MB free disk space.

Note that not all software components are available for Linux PCs.
