Instrument control - Move AB XY (Centre & level)
The Centre & Level motors
can be moved to their home
position by clicking the icon.
The Centre & Level motors
can be individually controlled
using the mini control panel.
Instrument control - inputs
• Speed - The speeds for each axes can be set independently. Look through
the drop-down list for available speeds or type in a value (as long as it is
within the minimum and maximum limits of the system). The units for the
value are shown to the right of the box. The speed that is set will be used
for all moves.
• ‘Move to position’ value - Type ‘1’ into a ‘move to position’ value textbox
and the respective axis will move to 1 mm with the speed that was
previously set.
• ‘Move by distance’ value - Type ‘-6.5’ into a ‘move by distance’ value
textbox. This will move the respective axis in it’s negative direction by a
distance of 6.5 mm.
Instrument control - vectored move
It is possible to move more than one axes at one time.
This can be achieved using a ‘vectored move’.
A ‘vectored move’ takes the inputs of all absolute values for the available
axes and moves to them inside one routine. The axes will all move with
the associated set speeds. The vectored move can be initiated by clicking
on the icon.
• Reset moves - To delete the inputs that have been
made prior to a vectored move and revert back to the
instantaneous coordinates. Click on the reset icon. This will
put all relative moves back to the default value of 0 and all
of the absolute positions back to where they are at that
particular instance in time.
