The controller communicates via a virtual serial port. This is easily identified as a ‘Silicon Labs CP210x’ device.

The tools drop-down shows the power supply of the controller. Both Running and standby current can be set. The polarity of the limit switches can be set. To change the polarity check-box value, the shift key must be pressed while clicking – this is to prevent unintended change. Utmost care must be taken – selecting the wrong polarity may damage your motor device!

If the controller has focus knob control, then automatic read back of position can be enabled by checking the ‘Has focus knob’ checkbox.
If the controller has a built-in encoder wheel, check the ‘Has Encoder Control’. Otherwise leave unchecked.
