troller and read the configuration.

Configuration Parameters Grouping & Organization
The total number of configuration parameters is quite large. While most system will oper-
ate well using the default values, when change is necessary, viewing and editing param-
eters is made easy thanks to a logical graphical organization of these parameters inside
collapsible tree lists.
The configuration tab contains two trees. The left tree includes all parameters that deal
with the Analog, Digital, Pulse I/O, encoder and communication. The right tree includes
all parameters related to the power drive section. The exact content of the trees changes
according to the controller that is attached to the PC.
