2.3.2.4 Micro Actuator Parameters
In order to start working with Micro Actuator it has to be enabled and configured. The new controls are added to the
Product Parameters dialog box.

Micro Actuator Parameters in the V2002 Product Parameters Dialog Box
The controls for the Micro Actuator configuration are grouped into two frames – CCW Micro Actuator Parameters
and CW Micro Actuator Parameters. The following parameters are configured for each actuator:
• The Use Configuration File check box. Enable this check box to configure your product to support the
Micro Actuator and to specify the Micro Actuator parameters.
• The read-only File Name text box shows the name of the corresponding Micro Actuator file in the current
product folder. You can not modify the name of the file, it is shown for your reference only.
• The Device control enables or disables the hardware control of the Micro Actuator for the current product
configuration. If you choose to disable the device, the hardware will not apply voltage to the Micro Actuator
when the spinstand is started, and Micro Actuator tests will not be available.
• The Voltage Range Min text box specifies the minimum voltage (in Volts) allowed to be applied to a Micro
Actuator device.
• The Voltage Range Max text box specifies the maximum voltage (in Volts) allowed to be applied to a Micro
Actuator device.
• The Displacement Range text box specifies the expected peak-to-peak displacement range of micro actuator
(in
µInch). This value is needed in the Micro Actuator Frequency Response test. Please specify an
approximate range in this entry. This entry can be automatically updated by the Micro Actuator Stroke test,
which measures the actual range. Please enable the Program Micro Actuator Range check box in the Micro
Actuator Stroke test configuration dialog box to update the Displacement Range automatically every time
you run the Stroke test.
