Chapter 4 Standalone Operation
4.4.11 Menu Option - Select Stage
This ooption allows the type of stage/actuator being
driven to be selected. Once this selection has been made,
the server automatically applies suitable default parameter
values on boot up of the software
It is important to select the correct stage and axis type.
Selecting an incompatible stage/axis type could result in
reduced velocity and/or resolution, and in the worst case
could cause the stage to run into the end stops or home
incorrectly.
Press the MENU button, then use the joystick to scroll
through the menu options.
Press the MENU button to enter the Select Stage option.
Use the joystick to select the stage being driven, either
‘PIA’ for our PIA series Inertial Piezo Actuators, or PD(R)
for one of our PD series Inertial Piezo Stages. The stage
type selected is displayed on start up - see Fig. 3.4.
Then press the MENU button to store the selection and
return to the main display.
4.5 Using the External Inputs
The CH-A and CH-B connectors on the rear panel (see Fig. 3.3) can be used to control
the velocity of the piezo actuator by using a voltage input from an external source. The
applied voltage is different for early (Rev 1) and later (Rev 2) hardware units as
explained velow.
In both cases, CH-A controls channel 1 and channel 3, whereas CH-B controls
channel 2 and channel 4. Control is also dependent upon the ‘Axis Mode’ setting - see
Section 4.4.8. and Section 6.3. for more details on this mode.
