1.1 First Start-Up

Make sure that the latest version of the TMCL-IDE is installed. The TMCL-IDE can be downloaded

from www.trinamic.com/support/software/tmcl-ide/.

2. Open the TMCL-IDE and connect the Landungsbruecke or Startrampe via USB to the computer. For

Windows 8 and higher is no driver needed, on Windows 7 machines the TMCL-IDE is installing the

driver automatically.

version is shown in the connected device tree.

The TMCL-IDE 3.0 needs room to show all important information and to provide a good overview.

Therefore, arrange the main window related to your needs. We recommend using full screen. For

evaluation boards it is essential to have access to the registers. Therefore open up the Register

Browser (left side). For a better view click top right on the normal icon to get a maximized register

browser window.

The TMCL-IDE includes a dialogue for diagnostic tasks. Further, the dialogue provides an overview

of the connected motion controller and driver chips. Thus, a window pops up immediately after

connecting the evaluation kit the ﬁrst time. The window shows the actual status of the connections.

The second tab of the dialogue oﬀers the possibility to choose basic settings or to reset the module

to factory defaults.
