Object-oriented Motion Control

Motion Console provides an environment for the testing and monitoring of motion control components. This will prove extremely helpful to you when writing new applications, because it allows you to check your code against a proven interface. (For example, if your application fails to move a component, you can try Motion Console to see whether the problem lies within the hardware or software.)

This section will guide you through the basics of Motion Console, and includes a description of its objects and attributes. If you would like to try configuring a simple motion control system with Motion Console, please see the Quick-Start Guide.
