Once the VersaSCAN software is downloaded, be sure to unzip the folder and disconnect the VersaSCAN hardware from the computer before launching the VersaSCAN Setup Windows Installer. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
After the VersaSCAN and VersaStudio software packages are both installed, reconnect all the hardware and launch the VersaSCAN software. Click on Manual Control in the top right-hand corner and check that you are able to move the probe in X, Y and Z directions. Remember to consider clearance and the programed speed before moving the stages.
**Note – If you have powered off the X, Y and Z controller(s), they will have lost knowledge of their absolute position and a Home Routine will be performed so that the controllers can validate their current position and the limits on the scan parameters. This routine drives the stages to the limits in the -X direction (left), -Y direction (back), and +Z direction (up). You must consider that the travel on these stages is 100 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm; so ensure you have proper clearance prior to running this Home Routine. You can Cancel the routine and remove possible obstructions before commencing with the Home Routine.
