Introduction

To fully understand Motion Console, Motion Scope and the VM3 utility, you will need to experiment with hardware. Ideally, a test stand has been obtained for this purpose so that you may experiment with the controller to the fullest extent possible. This reduces risks to personnel and property. (If you are new to controller, your first motion experiments should not be with a 20-ton wrecking crane!) This section will assist you in getting your hardware connected. You should then proceed to the Motion Console section to begin using your motion controller.

Note: Motion Console requires administrator privileges on your PC in order to run. If you are not using an admin account, you might experience an error stating that MotionConsole.INI is Inaccessible. To bypass this error, right click on the program and click "Run as administrator."
