Software
Two major software packages are provided with the Magellan Motion Processor Developer’s Kit cards: Pro-Motion,
an interactive Windows-based exerciser program and C-Motion, a C-language library which simplifies the
development of motion applications for Magellan Motion Processor Developer’s Kit cards.
Pro-Motion is a sophisticated, easy to use exerciser program that allows you to set and view all card parameters, and
exercise all card features. Pro-Motion features include:
• Motion oscilloscope graphically displays processor parameters in real-time
• Interactive servo tuning
• Atlas amplifier setup and configuration storage
• Project window for accessing card parameters
• Ability to save and load current settings
• Distance and time units conversion
• Motor-specific parameter setup
• Axis shuttle performs continuous back and forth motion between two positions
• Command window for direct text command entry
• Communications monitor that echoes all commands sent by Pro-Motion to the card.
C-Motion provides a convenient set of callable routines that comprise all of the code required for controlling your
Magellan Motion Processor Developer’s Kit card. C-Motion includes the following features:
• Axis virtualization
• The ability to communicate to multiple Magellan Motion Processor Developer’s Kit cards
• Can be easily linked to any “C/C++” application
