The command
ONLINE>
move/adjust mot1
invokes a menu which is used for the raw adjustment of a motor position (table 7.1).
The motor name and the alias is displayed, furthermore the current position, the slew rate and the possible actions.
Pressing one of the left- and right-arrow keys drives the motor in either direction. Movements are stopped by hitting the space bar.
After you started a move, the current signal is displayed and also the position of the maximum. The signal is determined by evaluating the symbol signal. Usually this is defined in exp_ini.exp, e.g.: signal = [vfc( c1, t1, 0.2)]. Counter c1, which is gated by timer t1, is opened for 0.2 seconds. The contents of c1 is the signal.
The C key allows you to re-calibrate a motor.
The L and U keys set the unit limits. These are reset when you leave the menu.
The M key makes ONLINE move to the maximum.
If N is pressed, ONLINE prompts for a new motor name. The limits and the slew rate are reset, as if you left the menu.
When you start the menu, the current slew rate is set to 100%. The up- and down-arrow keys manipulate the motor speed. Each stroke makes a factor of 2. However, you cannot go beyond the initial value this way. The original slew rate is restored when you leave this menu. A new maximum slew rate can be set with the S option. This change remains valid, after you left the /adjust menu.
The PF2 key stores the data into a file. The filename consists of a generic part, default scan_adjust, and a number. The generic part can be specified by the symbol generic_adjust_name.
