AXB-PT10/15/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Configuration commands configure the manner in which the PosiTrack operates.
Variables for the Configuration Commands (Cont.)
Parameters Description
Speed 0 to 127; where 0 is the slowest and 127 is the fastest (default).
Deviation 0 to 127; where 0 is most accurate but can have some jitter. Default is 2,
meaning the position can be within +
2 from the specified position.
Distance 0 to 127; distance from the specified position.
Ramp Time 1 to 255; time in 10ms increments it takes the motor drives to ramp up to
speed.
All presets are cleared when any limits are set.
Configuration Commands
ACCEL
CONTROL=ON
Enables acceleration
control for pan/tilt
(default).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’ACCEL CONTROL=ON’"
Pan/Tilt movement speeds up and slows down based on PANACC, TILTACC,
and PRESET ACCEL values. This affects all pan/tilt movements and results in
smoother, dampened operation.
ACCEL
CONTROL=OFF
Disables acceleration
control for pan/tilt.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’ACCEL CONTROL=OFF’"
Pan/Tilt movement start and stop immediately. This results in more responsive
operation, although changes in speed may result in rough movements.
BUTTON PRESS
Executes a series of
preset 10-degree
movements for both
directions of pan/tilt.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’BUTTON PRESS’"
The PosiTrack moves up, home (stops), left, then stops at home. This is
designed to test the functionality of the PosiTrack’s field of movement.
CHAN PRESET=ON
Enables preset recalls
by turning ON the
preset channels
101-228.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’CHAN PRESET=ON’"
The default mode of operation for these channels is feedback ONLY.
CHAN PRESET=OFF
Switches back
channels 101-228 to
feedback only mode.
(default).
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’CHAN PRESET=OFF’"
CLEAR ERRORS
Clears all of the error
messages obtained by
using the
DEVICE
STATUS
command in
the Terminal Emulator
mode.
Syntax:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’CLEAR ERRORS’"
