Granity user interface

Granity is the configuration software tool for Argon (servo drive). Granity is a successor of GDtool software.

Design

Granity has been redesigned from ground up and aims to deliver effortless setup of servo drives while keeping functionality and reliability maxed out.

Download

Download the 1.0.1 release from this direct link. To run Granity, just extract the Zip file and launch Granity.exe.

Drivers

In most cases Windows detects the SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter as USB Serial port and is able to install drivers automatically. However, if not download VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers from this page. The recommended package is the setup executable (direct link).

Documentation

See main article Granity user guide
