● Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
• Joystick Limit Y
● The MIN and MAX limits for the Y axis of the joystick, in joystick units
● Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
• Laser Match [cnts]
● Adjustment to synchronize le to right and right to le raster lines. Units are in number of
encoder counts
• Laser Match Oset [cnts]
● Oset of the raster data in X. Used to align raster and vector if needed. Units are in number of
encoder counts
• Velocity Match Oset [cnts]
● Oset of the raster data proportional to velocity. Units are in number of encoder counts
• Park Position [in]
● The position in inches to park the laser head when the machine is idle
● Requires “Park Axis” to take eect
• Plunger Oset [cnts]
● The number of table encoder counts from the laser zero focus position, to the auto focus plunger
• Rotary Oset [in]
● The oset of the rotary origin, relative to the X and Y limit switches
• Rotary Table Height [in]
● The distance in inches to clear the rotary device
• Scale [mm/in]
● A scale factor to adjust the scale of the X and Y axis
● Format is as follows: X,Y
● Requires “Home Axis” to take eect
● Must recalibrate cameras if this changes
• Table Switch Locations [cnts]
● A list of the locations in which the table switches were located
• Table Current [A]
● The current in Amps to run the table drive
• Table Resolution [cnts/in]
● The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the table
● Must “Home Table” if this value is changed
• CO2 Tickle Duration [us]
● The duration of the laser tickle pulse in microseconds
• CO2 Tickle Frequency [Hz]
● The frequency of the laser tickle pulse in hertz
• CO2 Tickle Holdo [us]
● The duration in which the laser tickle is stalled aer a laser pulse in microseconds
• CO2 Pulse Stretch [us]
● The amount to stretch all laser pulses in microseconds
