Real-time control and Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) for Cortex-M3 Motor Control MCU

The PC-Software MotorMind enables a starting point to easily set up specific motors with the Toshiba TMPM37x series. It provides set up and control of many motor parameters directly from the GUI.

Key parameters will be transfered to the evaluation board and immediately run the motor with the new settings. No need to recompile the firmware. MotorMind is available for free download.

The GUI also supports a DSO function to freeze snapshots of internal motor parameters and display them in a graphical way enabling certain trigger conditions.
