iv. The Manual controller has two functions:
1. Command (set point) mode (access by pushing the “F1/DRVC” button on the
controller)
a. Enter three commands (Drive #, Instruction, Location)
i. Drive # is where the drive you want to move is called on
ii. Instruction is what you want the drive to do (“Go To” is always
the number 2)
iii. Location is where you want the drive to move to
iv. (i.e. if you want the video zoom to go to 7X, you would type in
“8,2,7” and then press “ENTER”. The zoom will automatically go
to 7X)
2. Manual (video game) mode (access by pushing “SHIFT” then “F1/DRVC” on
the controller)
a. Identify the drive you want to move (1-8, see above)
b. To change the position of the drive, use the arrows (↓ or ↑).
c. To change the speed of movement of the drive, use the “+” or “-“ buttons.
!!!Warning: Make sure that none of the drives will run into each other when they are moved since there are NO
safety switches installed for this purpose. The “Emergency Stop” buttons can be used if
needed but it is preferred to use the ESC/STOP button on the controller is you see a potential problem.
v. Open VIDEO program, Turn on the light in the XRD chamber as needed
vi. Zoom the camera out (zoom = 1) to help easily find your sample in the video window.
vii. Move the X and Y drives to the area of interest on your sample (using the controller in
manual mode).
viii. Move Z to focus the laser on your sample (The laser spot should be in the center of video
window)
