The Translator can be moved by entering X and Y coordinates in the Absolute
Position panel, or by jogging the position left, right, up, and down in the Jog
Controls panel. The Jog Distance can be varied using the drop-down arrow.
If at any point the translator stage has been manually moved (using knobs on the
end of each translator), the software has lost the absolute XY position. To
restore, simply click ‘Home Translator’. Homing the Translator will move Angle
and Z height to a position “safe” for translation. The X and Y Translators will
then move to their maximum range, trip hard or soft sensor limits, and reset the
software translator tracking.
7.2 Scan Patterns
The primary purpose of the Automated Sample Translator option is to automate
sample mapping. This is achieved through a Scan Pattern, which is then used
with Data Acquisition Parameters and an Analysis Model in a Recipe.
To create a Scan Pattern, open the Scan Pattern Editor window. From the
Measurement tab, choose the Recipe option “Create/Edit Recipe”. Then, next to
Scan Pattern, click “Edit/Create”.
