What are the prerequisites for learning the MPI?
You do not need to be a master programmer, but you do need a solid foundation in C. The XMP is a C-programmable motion controller that uses object-oriented programming. Familiarity with C will allow you to quickly attack potentially complex implementation issues. Some familiarity with the basic concepts of motion control is required to understand how to use the sample applications. With no concept of motion control, it is dificult to know what parameters to set to make a motion.
