Running a sequence of exposures on one head, at varying times and intensities.
Running a sequence of exposures on multiple heads, at varying times and intensities.
Running parallel exposures on multiple heads, each can be at a different time and intensity.
Programming multiple programs for the same head from different trigger sources.
Setting which head will be controlled by the S2000 command set.
Note:
If no head is programmed to respond to the S2000 command set, sending S2000 commands will return
errors.
Note :
For customer interfaces designed around the S2000 lamp based system migrating to the LX5
system, the S2000 command set is compatible with the LX5 via the PC USB interface. Please contact
Excelitas for more information regarding the S2000 Command Set.
Note:
A StepCure program can only be run by using the trigger source specified. If another trigger source (not
assigned in the StepCure screen to a program) is triggered, the head will run the profile specified on the
main control screen.
Note:
StepCure ONLY functions if the unit is in countdown mode. If the unit is in count up mode, StepCure will
not function. (Exception is S2000 command set setting.)
For each step define the following:
# –which UV LED Head is being controlled
Time – the exposure time in seconds
Level – the intensity of exposure, this will inherit the current status of the head connected. If the level is to be an
irradiance, calibrate the head using an LS100, then set the irradiance value. If the level is to be a power, calibrate the
head using an LS100P, then set the power value. If the StepCure program level differs from the connected head, an
error will occur during StepCure execution.
Dwell – the delay in seconds until the next step is performed
Src – the source (input signal) which will trigger this step.
To clear any line, select the value in the # field and, using the arrow buttons, cycle down until it is blank.

A signal on the PLC pin “Enable 1” will turn on head 1 for 1.5s at 75%, then off for 0.1s, then 100% for 5.0s, then off
for 2.0s, then 50% for 2.0s.

A signal on the foot pedal #2 connector will trigger an 80% exposure on head 1 for 1.0s, then a 65% exposure for
1.5s on head 2, then a 99% exposure on head 3 for 0.5s and then a 25% exposure on head 4 for 10.0s. There will
be a 0.1s delay between each step.
