1 INTRODUCTION

The software described in this manual is intended to be used in the ESO VLT project by ESO and authorized external contractors only.

While every precaution has been taken in the development of the software and in the preparation of
this documentation, ESO assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions, or for damage resulting
from the use of the software or for the information contained herein.

1.1 Purpose

This document provides the User Manual of the motei module, the Engineering Interface for the Motor Control Module (hereafter MCM).

It is intended to provide engineers who operate, monitor or configure motors with a stand-alone environment for motor configuration, test and tuning.

The author assumes that the reader has some experience working with motors.

In addition to the Introduction, this manual contains the following chapters:

· Overview general description of the motei module.

· User Guide describes panels and available options.

· Installation describes how to install the software on the WS.

· Reference manual pages of panels and scripts used.
