Step-by-Step now begins with a connection setup wizard that is compatible with all Galil controllers. The connection setup wizard detects USB controllers such as the DMC-41x3, automatically configures controllers that are requesting an IP address, and adds a GDK alias upon completion.

Supported controllers (DMC-40x0, DMC-41x3, DMC-3x0xx) can proceed to axis setup after a connection has been established.

New Info screen shows the hardware configuration of the controller to be set up.

Sinusoidal encoder setup is now supported.

2-Phase Brushless motor setup is now supported.

Tuning and Limit / Home switch setup is now integrated into Step-by-Step. It is no longer required to switch between tools while setting up the controller.

Tuning will run autocrossover and step response. No license key is required.

Digital / Analog IO setup is not yet supported.

New Save screen shows all controller parameter defaults, burned configuration (if any), and a preview of the resulting controller configuration before finalizing setup.

The Tests tool has been removed.
