3.4 Borland Delphi 5.0

NOTE: Before any programs, including the examples, can be built, the type library must be imported. See

step 2.

This section will guide you through creating a simple Delphi application. The application will contain one button

which will toggle the state of the drive enable output for axis 0. Note that the axis must already be configured as

servo (use the Mint WorkBench to do this).

1. Open Delphi and create a new project.

2. If this is the first time a Delphi Mint Interface Library application has been created on this machine a type

library file will have to be created. Select ‘Import ActiveX Control’ from the ‘Components’ menu. Find

‘Baldor Motion Control Library XXXX for Mint XXXX in the list and check the box. In this example the

version 1109 is being used, but this will have changed by the time this manual is printed. If there is a choice

of several versions, choose the most recent, unless you want to target an older version of Mint. Hit

‘Install…’ and follow the default options.
