Introduction

MotionView / MotionView Studio

There are two versions of MotionView Software. The current version of MotionView resides inside the drive’s memory
and is referred to as “MotionView on Board” or MVOB. Previous versions were supplied as a PC-installed software
package and were referred to simply as MotionView. This manual refers only to the MotionView OnBoard software.
MVOB drives are identified by the model number ending in either an ‘S’ or an ‘M’.

Figure 2: MotionView OnBoard Parameters Display

MotionView is the universal programming software used to communicate with and configure the PositionServo drive. The
MotionView platform is segmented into three windows. The first window is the

“Parameter Tree Window”. This window

is used much like Windows Explorer. The various parameter groups for the drive are represented here as folders or files.
Once the desired parameter group file is selected, all of the corresponding parameters within that parameter group will
appear in the second window, the

“Parameter View Window”. The user can then enable, disable or edit drive features

or parameters from the “Parameter View Window”. The third window is the

“Message Window”. This window is located

at the bottom of the screen and will display communication status and errors.

NOTE
To run MotionView OnBoard (MVOB) on a Mac OS, run the PC emulation tool first.

1.3.1 Main Toolbar

The most commonly used functions of MotionView are accessible via the Main Toolbar as illustrated in Figure 3. If a
function icon is greyed out that denotes the function is presently unavailable. A function may be unavailable because a
drive is not physically connected to the network or the present set-up and operation of the drive prohibits access to that
function. Use the pull-down menu in the top right-hand corner to select the language. [English] is the default language.
