Software Installation DVD*
2. Quanser Workstations Resources DVD
(includes controllers, User Manual, Quick Start
Guide, courseware and other files)
*QUARC software must be purchased separately
STEP 3 Install and Test QUARC
A. Make sure you have all required software, as listed in the QUARC Compatibility Table document located in the
QUARC DVD folder.
B. See the QUARC Installation Manual for details on how to install the software.
C. Make sure you test the system using the Sine and Scope demo. You can access this by typing qc_show_demos
in the Matlab prompt.
STEP 4 Set Up the Hardware
The steps below use the Quanser QUBE-Servo USB Interface, with a built-in data acquisition device. If you are using the QUBEServo Direct I/O interface systems, please refer to its own Quick Start Guide or the QUBE-Servo User Manual for instructions
on connecting to an external data acquisition device (enclosed with shipment).
A
Place the QUBE-Servo on a flat surface with enough space so that the modules will not be obstructed.
B
Connect the inertia disc module to the QUBE-Servo
base by aligning the inertia disc magnets with the
magnets on the QUBE-Servo module connector. The
module should snap into place.

Upon completion, Windows
will notify you that the
device is ready for use.
STEP 5 Testing the QUBE-Servo
Follow the procedure below to test your QUBE-Servo experiment.
A
B
Make sure your PC
is powered ON.
On the Resources DVD (supplied with the QUARC package), locate the
Quick Start folder: Rotary\QUBE-Servo\Quick Start. Copy the Quick
Start folder to your local hard drive.
Note: Browse online for the latest QUBE-Servo resources at
www. quanser.com/courseware
C
E
G
Open the Simulink model file (.mdl) found under
the Quick Start folder on your hard drive.
F
Click on the Build Model
button on the Simulink
model toolbar.
Double-click on the HIL Initialize block and
choose the board that is installed on your
system (e.g. qube_servo_usb).
Once the model code
has been compiled,
click on the Connect
To Target button.
Click on the Run button to start the QUARC real-time model.
H
The scopes should look similar to those shown here.
Servo Angle (deg)
I
D
Motor Voltage (V)
The measured servo angle (in purple) should be
tracking the desired angle (in yellow) in the Servo
Angle (deg) scope. The motor voltage is displayed
in the Motor Voltage (V) scope. If not, consult the
Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide.
Click on the Simulink Stop button to stop the running model
TROUBLESHOOTING
Review the following recommendations before contacting Quanser’s technical support engineers.
1. Check the connections outlined in Step 4 of this guide.
2. Make sure cables are firmly connected.
Getting an error
when trying to
build or run the
Quick Start Simulink model (.mdl)
You get an ’An

A. Type ver in the Matlab Command Window and verify that QUARC is on the list. If not,
then go through the QUARC Quick Installation Guide to install QUARC. If it is listed, run
mex -setup as described in the the QUARC Installation Guide.
A. Make sure the QUBE-Servo is connected to your PC/laptop with the supplied USB
cable to an enabled USB port.
B. Ensure the green Power LED on the QUBE-Servo is lit. If not, check that the power
supply is operational and properly connected.
C. Ensure the qube_servo_usb has been selected as the board type in the HIL Initialize
block, as outlined in Steps 5D.
D. Verify that the QUBE-SERVO-USB A and QUBE-SERVO-USB B items appear in Device
Manager under the Universal Serial Bus controllers item.
A. Ensure the green Power LED on the QUBE-Servo is lit. If not, make sure the power supply
is operational and properly connected.
