3.5.5 Joystick-controlled stage movement
i
A joystick-controlled stage movement is only possible if the corresponding functionality
is activated in OPUS. To check whether it is activated or to activate it, proceed as fol-
lows: Select in the OPUS Measure menu the Non-video-assisted mapping measurement
function. On the XY Stage dialog page, make sure that the Activate joystick checkbox is
activate. If not, activate it now.
The movement of the motorized stage is con-
trolled by the joystick as follows:
• Stage movement in z-direction (focussing):
Rotating the joystick clockwise Stage
moves downwards. Rotating the joystick coun-
ter-clockwise Stage moves upwards.
➣ When the stage is moved in z-direction
using the joystick, the stage is moved only
by the fine drive.
• Stage movement in x-direction: Tilting the
joystick to the right or to the left
• Stage movement in y-direction: Tilting the
joystick forward or backward
➣ The stage velocity in case of a movement in
horizontal plane depends on the tilt angle of
the joystick: The larger the tilt angle, the
faster the stage moves in the corresponding
direction As soon as you release the joy-
stick, it returns automatically to its center
position and the stage stops.
