TRIO MP-245A FOUR-AXIS MICROMANIPULATOR SYSTEM OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 3.12B (20191001)
11
The TRIO MP-245A’s ROE provides fine control of electrode position and the rate of rotation
of ROE dials for each axis determines the speed of travel. The finest step size is less than
100nm. Five conveniently located buttons on the ROE provide control of all the basic
functions you will need in normal operation (Work, Home, Lock, Relative, and Pulse).
Press and hold WORK (for 3 seconds) to quickly store a work position, tap HOME to move all
axes to an initial location that is useful for changing electrodes, or press and hold the HOME
button (for 3 seconds) to memorize a new HOME position.
When ready to record data, the motor drive electronics can be suppressed by pressing the
LOCK button. In the LOCK mode, the display turns red and ROE input is locked out to avoid
any accidental motion.
Pressing and holding the RELATIVE button for three seconds at any location causes the
display coordinates to all zeroes. When activating relative mode, the display turns blue.
To return to viewing the absolute coordinates, tap the RELATIVE button to toggle back.
Finally, tapping the PULSE button causes a 3
μ
m advance in the diagonal. This rapid burst of
forward motion can assist in sharp electrode cell penetration.
All the electronics, except for a small power supply, are housed within the TRIO MP-245A
ROE and no separate controller or computer is required.
External computer control of the TRIO MP-245A is possible via the USB connector mounted
on the controller/ROE’s rear panel. The controller’s internal software is programmed with a
defined set of commands allowing for a wide range of micromanipulator/stage movements as
programmed in software residing in an external computer connected via USB.
