Windows Based Utilities

The XMP motion control system is unparalleled in power and flexibility for handling both simple and complex motion applications.
The firmware configurable DSP can be customized for efficient tasking and the dual-library software architecture lends extraordinary portability. Our library contains general MPI (Motion Programming Interface) objects and specialized MEI software objects. These objects encapsulate complex motion control functions, enabling the programmer to quickly build programs without writing hundreds or thousands of lines of code. Objects add multiple layers of abstraction to the controller hardware, allowing complex functions to be executed by calling a singe object method.
Our Windows based utilites access the power of the MPI to assist in tuning, configuring, debugging and programming XMP motion control systems. In addition to to MotionConsole and MotionScope, the VM3 utility allows you to access any memory location.

MotionConsole

Motion Console has the ability to set up, tune, and configure XMP controllers. With this Windows-based program, verifying system wiring and spin motors is just a few mouse clicks away. Motion Console capabilities include installing and configuring multiple controllers, modifying tuning parameters, tuning the system, checking axis status and more.For remote configuration and tuning, Motion Console can communicate with an XMP system over a TCP/IP link.

VM3

VM3 (View Memory) is a MPI Windows-based utility that provides a window to the operation of the XMP hardware. It is especially useful to rule out a hardware problem when application code is not functioning as designed. VM3 allows you to view and alter data stored in memory on the XMP controller, including data contained in both internal and external DSP memory.

Motion Scope

You monitor the real-time performance of your MPI motion applications using Motion Scope, a powerful debugging tool for retrieving and graphing motion and I/O data. Motion Scope combines the capabilities of an oscilloscope with a logic analyzer, accessing data from the XMP in real time.

Motion Scope can display in continuous, sampled, and triggered modes. You can simultaneously view multiple graphs to compare data of different types or from different sources. Each graph can be independently scaled and configured with different display options. You can save graphs for future reference and output ASCII data for import into other analysis tools and spreadsheets.

Motion Scope includes an oscilloscope graphing function to chart position, voltage, velocity, error or any other information on the controller such I/O or state-machine status. You can graph motion in real time while tuning an axis or plot sampled data from a previous motion sequence.

Like Motion Console, Motion Scope can access data from a remote XMP system via a TCP/IP communication link.
