4. SYSTEM SOFTWARE
4.1 START
Ensure that the iMAG iMC-303 unit and the Motor Driver MID-7602 unit are powered on.
Click the “Mag Scan” icon on the desktop. This will start the magnetic scanning
application. The user will be presented with a dialog box, asking the user to select an
initialization file. The selected initialization file controls a variety of system settings. These
files are located under
c:\MagScan\Configuration\*.ini
. It is possible for the user to
manually edit these files, but Tristan recommends caution when doing so. Tristan strongly
recommends that the user do
not
edit the
Default.ini
file, but rather make copies of it
and edit those. All
*.ini
files are presented in the dialog box for user selection.
Additionally, there is a
Current.ini
file, which contains the settings of the last time the
software was run.
Figure 4-1:
Selection of Initialization file
Typically, the user will select the
Default.ini
file, and proceed by pressing the
OK
button. The user will then see a progress bar indicating the configuration of the iMAG unit.
Note that the iMAG unit must have its GPIB address = 15, which can be set from the front
panel. After the iMAG unit is configured, the user will then see a progress bar indicating
configuration and homing of the sample stage.
