focusing at the stand handwheel or the focus knob of the
Leica SmartMove as applicable.
The Fine value is adapted to the respective objective. The
values are predefined logically. You can change the alloca-
tion using the LAS X software.
If the Coarse value is selected, the travel speed is the same
for all objectives. Coarse corresponds to the maximum
speed.
Note:
The allocation of a certain step size to an objective applies
not only for the z-drive, but also for defining the stage step
size, which is allocated to this objective after selecting Fine.
