ASI Tiger TG-1000, Инструкция по эксплуатации

Страница: 65 / 79

11
Format:
SU [axis]=[position in mm]…
Function: Same as
SETLOW
command (see above) but for upper firmware limit switch. It’s an
Axis-Specific Command.
Note 1: If this value is equal to or less than the value for
SETLOW
, then the controller will
operate incorrectly. See also Note 2.
Note 2: When the direction of an axis is negative (see
CCA Z=###
), upper limit settings must
be negative values, and lower limit settings must be positive values.
Note 3: For clocked devices (e.g. filter sliders, turrets) the upper limit is always the number of
positions. Querying the value is useful for determining how many positions.
Command: SI
This command has two distinct functions depending on whether the system uses linear
encoders (
SEARCH INDEX
) or rotary encoders (
SEEK LIMITS
).
This functionality is available by request from ASI. It is not included with standard
firmware.
Shortcut:
SI
Format:
SI [axis]=[position in 1/10 microns]…
Function: This Command searches for the physical centers of the stage and marks it with a user
inputted value. Software limits are reset to default. It’s an
Axis-Specific Command.
Reply: If there are no errors, a positive reply of “
:A
” is sent back.
Example:
SI X=0
:A
In the example, the controller searches for the center of X-axis and sets it to zero.
SI Y=20000
:A
In the example, the controller searches for the center of Y-axis and sets it to 2mm.
SI Y=0
:N-5
N-5 indicates center of axes could not be found. This could be because previous center
value is same as the new value, or hardware and software issues.
(For rotary encoders:
SEEK LIMITS
firmware required -- Rotary Encoder Stages)
