Check reference guide or KAS IDE"Integrated development environment" An integrated development environment is a type of computer software that assists computer programmers in developing software. IDEs normally consist of a source code editor, a compiler and/or interpreter, build-automation tools, and a debugger help to determine if the parameter is read-only, read-write, or nonvolatile. |
Some parameters that come from the Smart Feedback DeviceA process whereby some proportion of the output signal of a system is passed (fed back) to the input. In automation, a device coupled to each motor to provide indication of the motor's shaft angle, for use in commutating the motor and controlling its speed and position (SFD). |
Error: Argument greater than maximum value. |
Entered argument was beyond maximum value. |
Enter a value that is within the allowable range. See reference guide or KAS IDE help for ranges. |
