Set Capture
Purpose
Enables or disables servo position high speed polling capturing triggered by
the specified sensor.
Format
SET CPTR sensor (ON|OFF)
Arguments
sensor :
The number of the sensor
ON|OFF:
The required action for the command
Description
The SET CPTR command will enable or disable capturing of servo position
data for the specified sensor. When a SET CPTR ON command is issued, the
Servo Position Table is cleared to accept new data. A maximum of ten entries
may be made into the Servo Position Table. Attempting to store additional
data will cause that data to be lost.
All servo positions are recorded in microns or millidegrees. The state the sen-
sor transitions to is recorded after the servo positions.
NOTE:
Only one sensor may be enabled at a time. Issuing multiple SET CPTR commands
will result in only the last sensor being active for capture.
Examples
SET CPTR 4 ON
SET CPTR 7 OFF
NOTE:
The capture trigger may be enabled if any servo is unreferenced; however, if any
servos become unreferenced before or during a capture operation, the capture trig-
ger will be disabled.
