AE
Description
Quasi-absolute encoder parameters set.
Syntax
xx AE nn1,nn2,nn3,nn4
Remarks
This command is used to set the quasi-absolute encoder parameters for an axis. Since these
values are stage/positioner-specific, please consult the stage’s user’s manual for guidance on
correct parameter values. If this command is issued when an axis’ absolute position search is in
progress, the controller will generate “COMMAND NOT ALLOWED DURING HOMING”
error message.
Argument Value Description
xx 1 to 2 Axis number
nn1 570 (Default) Start index increment
nn2
8190 (Default) Start absolute position
nn3
10 (Default) Index increment
nn4 25 (Default) Maximum number of index marks
Example
1ZH12 (Tells controller that a stage/positioner with quasi-absolute encoder is present
on axis 1 and software travel limit checking should be enabled)
1SN1 (Sets the displacement units to encoder counts)
1AE570,8190,10,25 (Sets quasi-absolute encoder parameters)
SM (Save settings to non-volatile flash memory in the controller)
