Sim Config

The Sim Config tab enables you to add and configure various hardware components (Sim Components) for your motion simulator through an intuitive tab-based interface.

Adding New Hardware

  1. Open the Add Hardware Dialog

    • Click the "+" tab in the simulator window.

  2. Configure New Hardware In the Add Hardware dialog:

    • Enter a custom name (optional).

    • Select the hardware type from the dropdown menu.

    • Click Add to complete the process.

    Note: The system prevents adding hardware that conflicts with existing axis configurations.

Managing Sim Components

  • Tabs: Each hardware component is assigned a dedicated tab for easy access.

    • Close a tab by clicking the "x" button.

    • Settings persist until the tab is closed, allowing easy re-access without reconfiguration.

  • Automatic Saving: Sim configuration is automatically saved whenever changes are made, so no manual saving is required.

Hardware Configuration Options

Each hardware component has unique configuration options tailored to its capabilities. These may include:

  • Preset Configurations: Quickly apply predefined settings for supported hardware.

  • Axis Limits & Travel Distances: Customize movement boundaries.

  • Motor Directions: Define movement directions for accurate simulation.

  • Custom Parameters: Adjust settings specific to the hardware type for fine-tuned control.

Using Presets

If your hardware component supports preset configurations, follow these steps:

  1. Select a Preset Choose a preset from the dropdown menu. The interface will automatically load preset values.

  2. Switch to Custom Configuration To manually adjust settings, select Custom from the dropdown to enable full configuration control.
