status.
16) When connected to an EtherCAT amplifier, the Network Configuration screen
will now display the values of the address switches (S1 and S2).
17) Added support for the HD Absolute S encoder.
================================================================================
Features Added Since V5.0
================================================================================
1) Support for the new ADP amplifier has been added.
2) The Oscilloscope now has cursors to measure and analyze the waveforms
displayed. The cursors can be found on the measurement tab on the Oscilloscope.
3) A high speed digital input can now be configured with the high speed position
capture function. This feature requires a firmware version of at least 5.12
(0.40 for XSJ and XTL).
4) Adjustable position wrap has been added for the XSJ and XTL products. This
feature needs a firmware version of at least 0.42.
5) Estimated sinusoidal commutation can now be chosen in the Basic Setup screen.
This feature requires a firmware version of at least 4.70 (0.58 for XSJ and
XTL).
6) Functionality was added for MACRO amplifiers only, to save the tuning and
setup parameters in a format that can be read by a Delta Tau controller. A
firmware version of at least 1.02 is required for this feature.
7) Support for the new XSJ-R amplifier has been added.
8) When exiting the Network Configuration screen, you now have the option of
resetting the amplifier, so that the amplifier can recognize the new settings.
9) A new screen has been added to configure Gain Scheduling. This feature is
only available on the XTL, XSJ, ADP, AMP, and AEP amplifiers and requires a
firmware version of at least 1.10.
10) An Indexer program can now be configured to run on startup without the need
for a go command.

Installation procedures
================================================================================
The CD-ROM containing the software should automatically start the
installation wizard when the disk is inserted into your CD-ROM drive. If
this does not happen automatically, run the program "setup.exe" from the
CD-ROM.
We recommend running version 5.22 or later of the Xenus/Accelnet/Stepnet
firmware, and version 3.50 or later of the Accelus/Junus firmware. The
firmware can be obtained from our website: https://www.doczj.com/doc/7b4789530.html,. Use the
Download Firmware command on the Tools menu of CME 2 to update the firmware.
================================================================================
User documentation
================================================================================
Using CME 2 guides are available in .pdf format on the CD-
ROM and will be
automatically placed in the "Program Files\Copley Motion\CME 2\Doc" folder
during the installation. A shortcut to this folder will be placed on your
desktop during the installation. The documents are also available on our
website:
https://www.doczj.com/doc/7b4789530.html,.
