Using the Emergency Stop button
Some variants of the LFP are supplied with an
E STOP
(Emergency Stop)
button.
♦
Pressing the
E STOP
button
once
stops all playback
immediately, disables all controls on the LFP, and makes the
head hold its current position.
♦
Pressing the
E STOP
button
again
also cuts power to the head (to
stop a runaway head), so will cause the head to droop if it is in a
position that is affected by gravity.
The following message is displayed:
E-STOP DROPPED
PRESS BACK AND
E-STOP TO RE-ENABLE
To recover from an Emergency stop:
♦
Press the
E STOP
and
BACK
buttons simultaneously and release,
then press the
BACK
button again by itself.
After you recover from a
single-press
E-Stop your axes retain their zero
setting so you do
not
need to re-zero them.
After you recover from a
double-press
E-Stop your axes encoders will
have lost position so you will need to re-zero them.
Specifying the camera settings
Before recording and playing back moves, you need to specify how the
LFP will trigger the video camera to start and stop recording, along with
other camera parameters. To do this:
♦
In Film mode, choose menu option
CAMERA SETUP
and specify the
options suitable for your camera.
The following is a summary of the important options:
•
FPS
- Frames Per Second at which the camera is running.
•
LPF
- Lines Per Frame. The number of encoder lines (servo
motor) or steps (Stepper motor) that are required when the
camera motor rotates in order to expose 1 frame.
