2 OVERVIEW
This part of the document provides a general description of the Motor Engineering Interface.
2.1 Description
The Motor Engineering Interface motei is a UIF-based tool and is available on CCS (RTAP) and CCS-lite WS environments.
It communicates with the LCU via the message system to the command interpreter of the Motor Control Module and allows the user to operate, monitor and configure motors. It is intended to be used by hardware and software engineers for configuration, test and tuning purposes, offering all the commands available in the ACI of the MCM.
