The best way to learn about a ClearPath operational mode is to try it
under software control. MSP includes simple software controls that
emulate hardware inputs and outputs, so you can try different modes of
operation without wiring a single switch or sensor.
Note:
ClearPath Soft Controls are great for test, development and
training, but are not meant to be used as the control system for your
machine

Spinning Step & Direction models (SDSK and SDHP) is covered in the
next section.
For models MCPV and MCVC we will use the mode
Ramp Up/Down To
Selected Velocity
. Feel free to try any mode available in the Mode drop
down menu. Each mode is described in its own section later in this
manual.
1.
Open MSP software. The "Tuning" dialog will appear. For now
select the bottom option (run with no load).
2.
From the MSP menu, select
Setup>Units>Counts; RPM;
RPM/s.
This just tells MSP how to display distance, velocity,
and acceleration.
