DDSCV1.1 3 and 4 axis offline motion controller

[cropwell]

I have an interest in using one of these types of controllers in the future, so I had a look through the documentation using this as an example problem. I get the impression that not all parameters are changeable 'on screen' and that you have to load a parameter file to your computer, edit it and then upload the parameter file to the device. If this is the case then it seems a lot of faff, I would assume that future versions of the firmware might include the facility to edit this parameter directly as well as the much desired twin screw axis homing and squaring. I don't know how much of the world other than USA (and model engineers stuck in the past) operates in imperial measures, but I reckon it could be a poorly implemented afterthought to make some gesture to the non-metrics of the world.

You can change any parameter on screen. But you can have a setup file at the same time, that can just be loaded. So both things work perfectly and cover different scenarios.

So how is parameter #115 dealt with (I am beginning to think the manual is telling lies) ?

Whats this #115? i cant see it in manual and my machine is busy for a couple of hours so i can not stop it now to look for it.

But as i said, you either input it manually or upload a text file. Thats it

I dont see any reason messing with uploading, except if you are a machine producer and upload the same file to a bunch of machines

It is mentioned in the 2.1 manual here:

There are also a couple of new parameters there as well.

[/ranton] HOWEVER why in the name of Babbage does the version 2.1 manual still use screen shots of an ancient 1.1 version that does not even show the Machine co-ordinates? Are they taking the piss out of us!!

Ah thats better
