13 Quick Configuration Guide
This guide is meant as a practical tool to come to a first configuration and do a minimum set of
measurements and decisions for tuning the driver. It does not cover all advanced functionalities, but
concentrates on the basic function set to make a motor run smoothly. Once the motor runs, you may
decide to explore additional features, e.g. freewheeling and further functionality in more detail. A
current probe on one motor coil is a good aid to find the best settings, but it is not a must.
