LTS Series Long Travel Stages
Potentiometer Control Settings
The potentiometer slider is sprung such that when released it returns to it’s central
position. In this central position the motor is stationary. As the slider is moved away
from the centre, the motor begins to move.
Velocity: The velocity of the move in real world units (mm). The velocity profile is
derived from the ‘Velocity Profile’ settings in the ‘Move/Jogs’ settings tab. The Max
velocity when using the pot is limited to 10 mm/sec, irrespective of the velocity setting
in the Move/Jogs tab.
Persist Settings to Hardware
Many of the parameters that can be set for the LTS series stages can be stored
(persisted) within the unit itself, such that when the unit is next powered up these
settings are applied automatically. This is particularly important when the driver is
being used manually in the absence of a PC and USB link. The potentiometer, and
button parameters described above are good examples of settings that can be altered
and then persisted in the driver for use in absence of a PC. To save the settings to
hardware, check the ‘Persist Settings to Hardware’ checkbox before clicking the ‘OK
button.
Caution
The ‘Persist Settings’ functionality is provided to simplify use of the unit in the
absence of a PC. When the unit is connected to a PC and is operated via
APTUser, the default APTServer settings will be loaded at boot up, even if the
‘Persist Settings’ option has been checked.
