5 Menu Driven Functions
The
primary functions that control
the behavior of STACIS
are accessed through the controller’s front-
panel menu system. These include required parameters (such as the number of isolators), and optional
parameters (such as COM port function).
5.1
Menu Tree:
On power up the controller LCD displays a message like “TMC STACIS 2100” “pn 95-28576-01 r #”;
pressing
any
one of the menu key leads to the first main menu option; pressing
PREVIOUS
repeatedly
from any menu tree level returns to the default display.
The Menu Tree is described below on a graphical map (Figure 13). The DC-2000 controller’s primary
functions are listed on the left. In general, press
SELECT
to move to the right on the map or press
(+)
to
move up the map or
(-)
to move down the map.
Detailed descriptions of the controller’s functions follow the graphical map.
5.2
Navigating the Menu Function Tree
As discussed above, navigation through the menu tree is accomplished by using the “Menu Keys” (Figure
11 below). Figure 12 illustrates how to navigate the menu tree. This is an example – the actual
messages might differ depending on the revision of the software installed in your system.
The top level (default display upon power-up) shows the product name, and the firmware revision
number. Press any key to navigate to the
main options
menu level to access the primary functions. From
this level,
Press
Select
key to
move one level down the tree; thus,
selecting the currently displayed option.
Press
Previous
key to move one level up the tree; i.e. return
to last menu level visited.
Figure 11: The Menu Keys
Use the
(+)
and
(-)
keys to select between the different options
at a given menu level, to change a parameter’s value (such as
adjusting a gain up or down), or to select a different Degree of
Freedom or axis.
Moving down the tree always leads to the first option at the next new level. Moving up the tree goes back
to the last menu option visited.
Try it out. Rest assured that the controller cannot be damaged simply from navigating the menu tree
and/or making changes to operating parameters. Parameter values will not be permanently changed
unless saved using the
Save Parameters
menu option. Even after saving changes to operating
parameters, the controller can be returned to the “factory default” settings through the
Restore Defaults
menu option.
After configuring the system to your liking, always
go to
the Save Parameters
menu option to permanently store
the settings. Settings are not saved automatically.
