■ Identifier lt_SetTorque
■ Hex Value 0x27
■ Call LT360LIB_CmdValue(Handle, lt_SetTorque, 'nnn.n');
■ Parameter Torque (%)
Description
This command sets the stepper motor torque for the platter rotation.
The value is set in percent of maximum torque. The allowable range for
the parameter is 10.0 to 100.0 %.
The parameter string must contain a numeric value such as '100.0' with
tenths of a degree precision.
For most typical applications your will want the torque set to 100%. If
you intend to have the platter in constant motion, than you may wish to
set the torque to a lower value such as 70%. This will reduce heating in
the motor and drive circuitry.
The SmartTorque feature of the LT360 automatically reduces the motor
torque to 1/2 its normal rotational power when it is not moving. Thus
providing the advantages of maximum torque when in motion and
reduced power consumption when stationary.
