You will need to install the MPI software on the eXMP to use the motion controller features. Use the "Lite" (xx.xx.xx_WinNTSetup_Lite) installation file. There are two ways to install:
Run the software installation file (xx.xx.xx_WinNTSetup_Lite) from the Host's local drive. To use this feature, the Remote Desktop Options -> Local Resources must be configured to use Local Drives. See Host-side Remote Desktop Connection for more details.
Copy the software installation file (xx.xx.xx_WinNTSetupLite.exe) to the eXMP. See the File Transfer section. After the installation file is copied to the eXMP, execute the installation via the Remote Desktop Connection.
Although the InstallShield is slow over the Remote Desktop Connection, the software installation process is the same as an XMP-Series controller in a host PC system. For detailed installation instructions, see the Software Installation Instructions.
After the software is installed, you are ready to connect SynqNet nodes and begin application development. The SynqNet-XMP QuickStart Guide will show you how to connect SynqNet nodes and use Motion Console to move a motor:
Using the Remote Desktop Connection will greatly simplify application development. All Windows tools (Motion Console, Motion Scope, Bode Tool, etc.) will execute on the eXMP via the Remote Desktop Connection. Although the eXMP probably doesn’t have enough free compact flash space to install the MS Visual Studio environment and your application code, you will find it useful and convenient to build applications on the host and then download them directly to the eXMP.
