Version Utility

The Version Utility displays version and license information about the motion controller card, as well as the current version of the installed MPI DLL file. The License section displays the features that are supported by the controller, such as the number of axes, MPI, or other utilities such as MechaWare. For example, If Feature: MechaWare is displayed, the controller is properly licensed and configured to use MechaWare.
