Abstract
According to one aspect of an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, an imaging device or system includes at least one motor controlled by a motor drive. The motor is selected from one of multiple motors operable by the motor drive. A motor controller is operative to output a modulated voltage to the motor, where the modulated voltage does not cause rotation of the motor. As the motor controller outputs the modulate voltage, either the resultant voltage or the resultant current through the motor is measured. The motor controller uses the measured voltage or current to identify which of the multiple motors is connected to the motor controller and set at least one parameter in the motor controller corresponding to the identified motor.
