V MASTER SIMLATR
SETUP::PHASE CONTROL::V MASTER SIMLATR
(Virtual Master Simulator) This function is used in conjunction with the virtual master simulator board that is fitted to the top connector on the
control board. It generates A, B, and Z pulses, equivalent to an encoder following the virtual master. This is typically used to interface with external
registration equipment, such as in shaftless printing.
Parameter Descriptions
RUN SIMULATOR PREF: 160.1 Default: FALSE Range: FALSE / TRUE
Enables or disables the function.
ENCODER LINES
PREF: 160.2 Default: 1024 Range: 1024
Sets the lines of the simulated encoder. Currently 1024 lines is allowed. Future releases will allow more values.
ENCODER DIRECTION
PREF: 160.3 Default: FORWARD Range: FORWARD
This parameter is intended to set the encoder direction, i.e. A leads B or B leads A. At the moment it has no effect, and the only allowed direction
is FORWARD. (For REVERSE direction, exchange the A and B output lead positions).
V MASTER INPUT PREF: 160.4 Default: RUNS FORWARD Range: see below
Set this parameter to match the virtual master simulator with the virtual master direction.
Enumerated Value : Status
0 : RUNS FORWARD set to this if virtual master input is positive
1 : RUNS REVERSE set to this if virtual master input is negative
If this parameter does not match the virtual master direction the simulator will not function.
Z PULSE OFFSET PREF: 160.5 Default: 0.0000 Range: 0.0000 to 360.0000º
This parameter sets the position in degrees at which the marker pulse (Z pulse) occurs.
