Cognisys STACKSHOT 3X - Video Duration (SMS Only); Video FPS (SMS Only); Zero All; Goto Zero All

72
Note: The helper will adjust these settings when in “Shoot-Move-Shoot” mode to set the proper
timing between frames. If you edit these settings after using the helper you will change the final
timing of your motion profile.
7.6.5 Video Duration (SMS Only)
This configuration sets how long your final video (playback) duration will be. StackShot 3X uses
this and the frame-rate to determine how many frames you will need to meet this duration.
Note: The helper will adjust these settings when in “Shoot-Move-Shoot” mode to set the proper
number of frames. If you edit these settings after using the helper you will change the final
timing of your motion profile.
7.6.6 Video FPS (SMS Only)
This is the playback frames-per-second. StackShot 3X uses this to determine the number of
frames required for the specified duration. Total number of frames = Video Duration x Video
FPS.
Note: The helper will adjust these settings when in “Shoot-Move-Shoot” mode to set the proper
number of frames. If you edit these settings after using the helper you will change the final
timing of your motion profile.
7.7 Zero All
Pressing the “Zero All” button will use the current position of all the motors as the beginning of
the motion profile (setting the home position). This is useful if you want to keep the same
motion profile but just change the starting points for all axes. You could go through the helper
all over again or you could adjust the motors using the 3-axis slider:
button. After adjusting the position, press the “Zero All”. You will be asked to confirm this
change since it will overwrite your current starting position.
7.8 Goto Zero All
This will return all of the enabled axes to their zero (or home) position. When returning to the
zero position the motors will not follow the motion profile – they’ll get back there in a hurry!
If you plan on using the same equipment setup but will have to disconnect power from
StackShot 3X, it is a good idea to send all the motors to their zero (home) position first. The
reason: If you finish a motion profile and then remove power, the controller will use that final
