When connecting a third party stepper motor to a Newport XPS controller, what are the minimum and maximum of microstepping?
XPS controllers have two types of MotorDriverInterface : AnalogStepperPosition or PulseDir / PulsePulse. In both cases, XPS controllers do not need a MicroStepping Factor to calculate the output voltage to PP motors. Microstepping is calculated based on internal algorithms so that the customer does not need to worry about defining it.
