Persist Settings to Hardware -
Many of the par ameters that can be set for the BSC201
series drivers can be stored (persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit is next
powered up these settings are applied automatically. This is particularly important when
the driver is being used manually via a joystick, in the absence of a PC and USB link. The
Min Pos, Max Pos, and Velocity
parameters described previously are good examples of
settings that can be altered and then persisted in the driver for later use.
To save the settings to hardware, check the ‘Persist Settings to Hardware’ checkbox
before clicking the ‘OK button.

Triggering
It is possible to configure a particular controller to respond to trigger inputs, generate
trigger outputs or both respond to and generate a trigger output. When a trigger input
is received, the unit can be set to initiate a move (relative, absolute or home). Similarly
the unit can be set to generate a trigger output signal when instructed to move via a
software (USB) command. For those units configured for b oth input and output
triggering, a move can be initiated via a trigger input while at the same time, a trigger
output can be generated to initiate a move on another unit.
Note
The move parameters for triggered moves can only be set via software method
calls in APTServer. Triggered moves cannot be set up via the GUI panel.
