First Steps

5 Give the E-517 interface / display module control over the output

voltage channels of the piezo control electronics by switching them

to ONLINE mode. This can be done in the

Start up controller

window which should open automatically with the

Start up E-517

step, see figure below. A channel is in ONLINE mode when its

check box is checked, otherwise it is in OFFLINE mode. When the

mode selection is finished, press the

OK button. The

PIMikroMove™ main window will open.

You can reopen the window for ONLINE / OFFLINE selection at

any time via the E-517 ⇒ Start up axes ... menu sequence from

the PIMikroMove™ main window.

Notes:

In ONLINE mode the SERVO switches of all channels must be set

to OFF on the piezo control electronics. This gives the E-517

complete control over the servo mode settings.

Channels which are in OFFLINE mode can not be commanded by

the E-517 (and hence not by the host PC) but only via controls on

the piezo control electronics (e.g. analog control input and / or

DC-offset potentiometers).

The current mode of the channels is also visible in the main screen

of the E-517 display (top left corner; 'I' for ONLINE, 'O' for

OFFLINE).
