New features in 4.08 include one-button optimization of gains and filters, interface improvements for working with 1D and 2D plots, and A3200 fieldbus variable data collection.
The following summary of new features is only for this release of Aerotech software and may not represent the latest version. Please visit the Software Downloads page on the Aerotech website to access the complete Release Notes and to download the latest version of the software.
New in Version 4.08.000
A3200
- Click the Optimize button to easily optimize gain and filter values based on data from a Loop Transmission plot.
- Easily change between 1D and 2D plots by using the Toggle Plot Dimensions button.
- Pan 2D plots either by using the Pan button in Digital Scope or by using your middle mouse button.
- Data collection includes information about Fieldbus connections that are defined in your active parameter file.
- Added MotionPAC function blocks that convert status word values into individual bits for you to use in your programs.
- Optimize the timing of the feedforward gains relative to the motion profile by using the FeedforwardAdvance parameter.
- Find out how long it has been since the last controller reset by using the Time Since Reset data collection item.
- Distance Logging logs to a file the total distance that a motor has traveled.
- Delay compensation on the Resolute encoder interface makes it possible for you to use longer feedback cables.
- Added LabVIEW VIs to use with Piezo nanopositioners.
Ensemble and Soloist
- Support for Windows 8.1.
- Click the Optimize button to easily optimize gain and filter values based on data from a Loop Transmission plot.
- Easily change between 1D and 2D plots by using the Toggle Plot Dimensions button.
