LT360 Precision Turntable
DLL Programming Manual
2.37 Get Torque
■ Class Get (in)
■ Identifier lt_GetTorque
■ Hex Value 0xA1
■ Call LT360LIB_CmdValue(Handle, lt_GetTorque, RtnStr);
■ Returns 'nnn.n'
Description
This command returns the torque in percent (%). The value is returned
as a string with tenths precision, and is always positive. The allowable
range for the parameter is 10.0 to 100.0 %.
This value sets the stepper motor torque for the platter rotation. The
value is set in percent of maximum torque. For most typical applica-
tions 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.
