Pegasus Dual Motor Focus Controller (DMFC) has been developed to meet these requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHint\u003c\/strong\u003e: You can get the controller as a set with our Motor Focus Kit or Motor Focus Kit SCT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDual mode\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dual Motor Focus Controller supports two kind of motor types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Resolution\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStepper motors\u003c\/strong\u003e (unipolar and bipolar) for absolute position focusing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDC motors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby its Pulse Width Modulation duty cycle control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eController can switch motor mode from its software, Mode can be instantly changed (with one mouse click) from ‘stepper’ to ‘dc’ motor and saved in controller’s EEPROM memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eManual and PC operation.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller can be operated by PC using its USB2 connectivity.
