Features

Zaber's intuitive windows software makes it easy to control the speed and position of the unit, change the device settings and write custom scripts. For Labview users, we offer a free Labview certified driver. After completing a move command, the stage will report its position through the RS-232 link.

A depressible knob with detents permits flexible manual control. Press and hold to switch between velocity mode and displacement mode. In velocity mode, turn the knob to move the stage at various discrete speeds. Linear, quadratic and cubic speed profiles are available. In distance mode, turn the knob to move the stage for a fixed distance per knob detent. Speed profiles and distance per detent can be specified and are easily configurable. Press the knob during any operation to stop the stage. Press the knob during deceleration to issue an emergency stop.
