6.2 Main Dialogues
The evaluation software offers two main dialogues: the jog dialogue and the ramp generator dialogue
on the next tab. Both dialogues offer separate data input fields for motor 1 and motor 2.
6.2.1 The Jog Tab
Use the rotary control switches with the left key or the small wheel of your computer mouse. Thus,
velocity and acceleration for each motor can be set and/or changed. Both values increase/decrease
according to a logarithmic function.
There are five keys for each motor. The keys with just one arrow are push-buttons. A motor moves as
long as one of these is pressed (using the left mouse key). Acceleration and deceleration will always be
adequate to your settings (or default settings), which can be read out using the all registers dialogue.

6.2.2 The Ramp Generator Tab
The design of the ramp generator tab correlates to the jog tab. Ramp generator settings for each motor
can be done independently from the other motor. With this, comparisons of different settings are quite
easy. The two motors can be driven simultaneously using the buttons for both below the diagram. All
values can be calibrated on the fly while a drive is still active.

A complete set of ramp generator values can be copied to the input data area of the other motor by
clicking the buttons with two arrows. Afterwards the value sets can be adjusted individually for each
motor.
