KINGSTAR Scope is an auxiliary tool that records data returned from devices and graphically displays it on screen. Scope is not directly connected to any KINGSTAR application. It is connected to ksm64link.rtss, from which it detects the EtherCAT connection and retrieves data. Once you start a KINGSTAR application and connect it to hardware, Scope will detect the connection. Next, you can add the connected hardware to Scope and record various variables, such as position, velocity, torque, following error, input and output. The recorded data can be exported to a file for further analysis.
Before using the Scope
- Start at least one KINGSTAR application and connect it to hardware.
