In addition to automatic controller setting, SIMOTION SCOUT also offers the option of
optimizing the drive and controller manually by means of measuring functions, trace and
function generator (see Sections Measuring functions, trace, and function generator
(Page 277) and Manual speed controller optimization
(Page 278)).
