Run motor tests and identify motor parameters

Use the
Motor Analyzer
 tab to perform three types of test to identify motor parameters. If the test executes successfully and you accept the test values, the values populate the Model Parameters on the
Analyzer
 page.
Before you begin:
  • The controller is online.
  • On the
    Motor
     page, set
    Data Source
