Menu Option - Select stage
To ensure that a particular stage is driven properly by the system, a number of
parameters must first be set. These parameters relate to the physical characteristics
of the stage being driven (e.g. min and max positions, leadscrew pitch, homing
direction etc.).
Older version devices must be associated manually using the top panel menu. Once
this association has been made, the APT server applies automatically, suitable
default parameter values on boot up of the software.
Press the MENU button, then use the wheel to scroll
through the menu options.
Press the MENU button to enter the Select stage option.
Use the wheel to scroll through the options to the required
stage type. The stage types supported are:
NR360S, FW103, DRV013, DRV014, PLS2, PLS3,
ZFS25, ZFS13, ZFS06, ZST225, ZST213, ZST206,
ZST25, ZST13, ZST6
Press the MENU button to store the selection and return to
the main display.
Note
Later version actuators and stages have an identification eprom fitted such
that the system will recognise automatically the actuator type and install
suitable defaults at start up. In this case, the start up screens will show ‘Stage
connected xxx’ as shown in Fig. 3.4 and this menu option is not visible.
If this menu option is visible then the stage/actuator connected is not fitted
with an eprom and the stage association must be performed manually as
detailed below.
