8.1.6 Configuring the PosAcknowl-
edge Threshold Value
The
command can also be used
to set the PosAcknowledge threshold value. The
default start behavior is for the scan system to set the
threshold value to 0.28% of the full position range
after every power-up or reset. If other threshold
values are desired, they must be separately set for
each axis.
8.1.7 Configuring the Effective Cali-
bration
The servo electronic can also be configured by the
to (down) scale the position
values received from the RTC
®
5 by a specific factor (1,
1/2, 1/4 or 1/8). The position signals (optionally)
returned by the scan systems to the RTC
®
5 remain
unaffected, as do the pre-configured calibrations of
SCANLAB’s scan systems. However, the effective cali-
bration can be thereby reduced to confine the scan
area to a smaller angular range – with a higher
angular resolution.
The default start behavior is for the scan system to
start with a scale factor of 1 (i.e. with SCANLAB’s pre-
configured calibration) upon power-up or after a
reset.
With the
, you can also query
SCANLAB’s pre-configured calibration and the
currently selected scale factor.
8.1.8 Configuring the Start Behavior
In their default configuration the i
DRIVE
®
scan
systems are pre-configured by SCANLAB so that
• the first tuning (number 0) is selected (also see
section "Configuring Dynamics Settings (Tuning)"
on page 155
),
• a PosAcknowledge threshold value of 0.28% of
the full position range (i.e. 0.28% of 2
16
bits) is
set (also see
section "Configuring the PosAc-
knowledge Threshold Value" on page 160
),
• a scale factor of 1 is set (also see
uring the Effective Calibration" on page 160
The listed settings can be changed via the
. The changed settings are only
temporary, however they can be additionally saved as
starting settings for subsequent power-ups or resets
(power supply switched off and switched on) with
control_command(…, …, 0A00H)
.
As long as the start behavior is not changed as
described, the scan head starts with the starting
settings pre-configured by SCANLAB on every power-
up or reset.
The status return behavior of the scan system can
only be temporarily changed. The corresponding
start behavior is fixed by SCANLAB: after every restart,
the scan system transmits the XY2-100 status word
(also see
section "Configuring Status Return Behavior"
).
