Important information about AKD2G and AKD
This help includes documentation for both AKD and AKD2G devices. Some views are identical, some are applicable only to one device or the other. The context sensitive help (pressing F1) will take you to view documentation appropriate to the device. Additionally, parameters have been updated or developed to support the multi-axis capabilities of AKD2G, e.g. AIN.CUTOFF (AKD) and AIN#.CUTOFF (AKD2G) where the # represents axis 1 or 2. Please see the following topics to aid in understanding the changes.
