Sheet 1

The programming Notes schematics provide repository of information for both the programming group and the hardware group. It lists the parameters and values that the system uses upon startup. The first sheet has the parameters for the first, or top, controller and the second sheet lists the parameters for the second, or bottom, controller. Keep in mind that these parameters are position sensitive, not controller sensitive. That is due, of course, to the wiring of the control box. The matrix contains the parameters unique to each stage while the small table below and to the left side contains the general controller parameters. To the right of the controller parameters are notes concerning parameters specific to stepper motors. Note: the complete Galil DMC-40x0 command set can be viewed here.

Sheet 2

The second sheet is the preforms the same function for the second, or bottom controller.
