Known bugs in this release:

1)The Amplifier current fold back circuit is not presently simulated by Parker Motion Sizer. This means that is possible for the motion profile to require a peak current for a time that is longer than the amplifier can supply it.A manual check needs to be made to make sure the amplifier can deliver peak current for the length of time that motion profile requires it.

We apologize for any inconvenience that these or any other bugs may cause. We are working toward finding and fixing these issues. Visit for software updates.
