The Debug Screen 

 
 

 

 
 
 

The Debug Screen is used to troubleshoot/test various aspects of the TF-1800 machine.  The screen 

can be broken down into three sections.  The Setup Commands on the left will make the machine perform an 
action. Status Request Commands will read off what the software believes to be the current setting, position or 
status of the different parts of the machine.  The bottom area contains read outs for the Status Request 
commands along with a command selector to change available options (for future BGA equipment).
