You have set up your motion system and tuned the axes. Now you are ready to tackle the
programming of the motion application, but you aren't sure where to start or how to do it. This
topic provides links to complete programming examples and tips to help you get going.
Note:
Before programming your application, it is important that you have set up your system, tuned
it, and that you can move it back and forth. For help on doing this, see the Startup Guide that
came with the RMC. The Startup Guide is also available on the Download page of Delta's web
site, http://www.deltamotion.com/dloads/.
