Then you can optimize your mechanism by fine tuning the performance using the servo
tuning features in SPEC. For details, see the
Step-by-Step Tuning Process topic in the
SmartMotion Developer's Guide.
3.6 Phase 5 - Testing the System
Adept SmartMotion software provides diagnostic tools and tests that you can use to
adjust the tuning and optimize the performance of your SmartMotion system. For details
on the Test and Troubleshooting process, see the topic
Adept SmartMotion: Test and
Troubleshooting in the Adept SmartMotion Developer's Guide.
This phase can help you quickly test and troubleshoot a mechanism during development
and after installation. Many of these tests can help identify tuning adjustments that can
provide substantial performance improvements even if there are no obvious system
problems. Use the diagnostic tests to evaluate all I/O signals, DAC outputs, encoder and
motor signs, etc.
