In this video, we demonstrate the setup process for the SCU6x controller, focusing on its functionalities for guiding and actuation. We will explore how the operator can use the home screen to switch the web guide between auto and manual modes, jog it manually left and right, and perform servo centering operations. The video includes a practical setup with a sensor configured to monitor the left edge of the web, illustrating various features through the interface even without an actuator connected. Stay tuned to understand these essential operations.

## Transcript

now in the following we will look at how to set up the contourer for guiding or actuation the operator can use that uh home screen to put the web guide in Auto put it in manual and also be able to manually jog it left and right and then also do any Servo centering operation or things like that that's what we're going to see next so I do have a couple of things set up here so I have one sensor that is set up to look at the left edge of the web that shown here since the one is connected and it's set up to look at the net edge of the web and in this particular case I don't have an actuator connected but I can still show most of the items there to that interface
