SmartTune is especially useful in the following two scenarios:

• Users that want to quickly verify if TI's motor driver can drive the motor to achieve the expected speed under specific voltage and current conditions.
• Users that are not familiar with TI's motor driver's register map setting and want to quickly obtain a set of configuration parameters which can spin the motor.

As shown in Figure 1-1, in traditional tuning of FOC, before successfully spinning the motor, users need to configure both motor parameters and system parameters, tune control parameters in start-up, open loop and closed loop, and set fault handling parameters, which is time-consuming and effort-taking.

With SmartTune, all the steps mentioned above can be saved. Users only need to input rated voltage, current and speed according to the application requirement, and SmartTune generates configuration file automatically for you. With the configuration file, users can spin the motor immediately, or optimize parameters based on the file for specific performance.
