G.
Open the Oscilloscope and set the time-base to 1 millisecond per division and to
trigger on the rising edge of Channel A. Select the Input Command signal for
Channel A, and the Position signal for Channel B. Finally, set the Oscilloscope
Position Scale Factor to 0.5 degrees per division.
H.
Arrange the Test Signal Generator, Oscilloscope, and Mach-DSP program windows
so that they can all be accessed, as shown below.
I.
On the Basic tab, set Low Frequency Damping to 10. Then slowly increase the
Servo Gain up to 10. You should see something very similar to the screen shot
above, including the overshoot denoted by the blue arrow above. If you do not see
the overshoot, continue to increase Servo Gain until you have a slight overshoot.
(Note that the toolbar button “XY Together” button is depressed. This means that the
settings that you are changing will be applied to both axes. Since ScannerMAX
scanners are manufactured with a high degree of similarity between scanners, and
since ScannerMAX mirror sets are designed to have the same inertia for both X and
Y axis, adjusting both X and Y axis simultaneously is probably the best way to tune
the system quickly. Fine-tuning of X and Y axis can be done separately, by pressing
the X or Y button as needed.)
