CHAPTER 3
Motion Scope

Description

Motion Scope plots and traces IO signal data from the motion controller. It is similar in its presentation to an oscilloscope, and provides a utility for checking and troubleshooting motion control systems. It is a purely "passive," read-only utility, with no ability to write data, or control motion. Combined with the Motion Console and VM3 utilities, Motion Scope serves as the system designer's eyes while working with the XMP motion control system. Motion Scope can also be used in conjunction with the designer's motion control application.
