Batch Transfer

Batch Transfer    

The Batch Transfer command is used to instruct the controller to collect the next four filter 
wheel movement and shutter action commands, and then once received, execute the four 
commands in quick succession. The Batch Transfer command was introduced with the 
Lambda 10-2, and is supported in the Lambda 10-3 as is for compatibility with applications 
already programmed with this functionality. Although there is no strict order for the four 
commands that follow the Batch Transfer command, the following order is the one for which 
the controller is optimized, yielding the best performance. 

1.

 

Shutter A: 170 (open), 171 (open conditionally), or 172 (close) 

2.

 

Shutter B: 186 (open), 187 (open conditionally), or 188 (close) 

3.

 

Wheel A: 0 (wheel bit = 0) + 0 thru 7 * 16 (speed) + 0 thru 9 (position) 

4.

 

Wheel B: 128 (wheel bit = 1) + 0 thru 7 * 16 (speed) + 0 thru 9 (position) 
NOTE:  The Batch Transfer command does not support Wheel C, since Wheel C requires 
two bytes for its command. If you wish to use Wheel C within the context of a batch 
process, the Batch Begin and Batch End command sequence should be used instead (see 
Page 53).

Transfer to On Line

Transfer to On Line

Transfer to On Line

Transfer to On Line    

This command is the equivalent to pressing the ON LINE key on the Lambda 10-3’s keypad. 
If the controller is in local mode (i.e., it is off line), this command will cause the controller to 
go on line (the opposite of local mode), enabling it to respond to other commands from the 
remote computer. 

NOTE: In Lambda 10-3s programmed with Rev. 1.21 (and later) of the firmware, the default 
remote control port, which becomes active when the ON LINE key is pressed (serial, USB, or 
parallel), can be established via a new menu that is accessible in LOCAL mode.

Transfer to Local    

This command is the opposite of the Transfer to On Line command. It causes the controller 
to go into local mode, and is the equivalent to pressing the LOCAL key on the controller’s 
keypad. Once in local mode, the controller will not respond to any commands sent to it from 
the remote computer except the Transfer to On Line command.

is returned to the remote computer.
