Chapter 8: The Recorder
Elmo's Recorder is used to record actions and events on the axes connected to SimplIQ
drives. This is particularly useful with the Maestro, as the movements of several axes can be
recorded simultaneously. The results can then be used to debug applications and to track
performance.
8.1 Accessing the Recorder
Before accessing the Recorder, the axes in the Maestro must be pre-defined. The Recorder
can be started by clicking its icon. This causes the window below to open. The next step is
to open a line of communication with a Maestro by clicking the connect button (
) on the
menu.
