5.3.3. - Selecting the Hardware Configuration



The final step in the initial spec installation is to set the hardware configuration specific to your site. You can do that either by starting the spec program and typing config, which is macro that executes the configuration editor, or by running the configuration editor directly. For the latter, first change to /usr/local/lib/spec.d (or to the auxiliary file directory specified when you did the installation). If you are installing the normal four-circle version of the program, type the command edconf fourc. If you installed a different geometry, give the name of that geometry as the argument. This command starts a spread-sheet styled program that lets you select motor parameters, devices names, etc.

Refer to the notes on the configuration editor that follow for instructions on using edconf.
