These studies were done using halldxps1 XPS-C8 controller from Newport.

1. Configuration of the XPS Controller

1.1 Configuration of motor and stage

Building of "stages.ini" file which is located in the "CONFIG" folder of the controller.

• Connect to the XPS Controller halldxps1 using an internet browser.
• Login as Administrator.
• Select STAGE, then "Add Custom Stage" and fill all fields.

I defined Stage1 (Stage_ST55D) Stage for the stepper motor ST55D and Stage for microscope beam test as follows:

MinimumJerkTime=0.005

MaximumJerkTime=0.05

Home search process

HomeSearchSequenceType=MinusEndOfRunHomeSearch

HomeSearchMaximumVelocity=250

HomeSearchMaximumAcceleration=70

HomeSearchTimeOut=600.

1.2 Configuration ofsystem and motion groups Building of "sistem.ini" file which is located in the "CONFIG" folder of the controller.

• Select SYSTEM, then "Manual Configuration" and define motion groups and stages on them.

I defined two motion groups: SingleAxis group with a<b> Dummy stage and MultipleAxes group with Stage1 stage
