AXB-PT10/30 PosiTrack Camera Controllers
Configuration commands configure the manner in which the PosiTrack operates.
Variables for the Configuration Commands (Cont.)
Parameters Description
Time (optional) If specified, 0 to 255 in tenths of a seconds; if not specified, at current rate.
Position 0 to 255; value of POT input. Corresponds to a position of the unit. 0 is one
end of the POT and 255 is the other end. Not directly related to an output
level voltage.
0 to 65535 when using the 'AD MODE x 10' command, or for pan/tilt com-
mands. Corresponds to a position of the unit. 0 is one end of the POT and
65,535 is the other end. Not directly related to an output level voltage.
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
AD MODE
Sets the AD reported 8
bit levels. This is the
default value.
Syntax:
"’AD MODE <output 3-4> 8’"
Variables (See Variables for the Configuration Commands section on page 25):
output = 3 - 4
Examples:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,"’AD MODE 4 8’"
Sets Focus POT input to 8-bit level reporting (0-255).
AD MODE
Sets the AD reported
10 bit levels extended
to 16 bits.
Syntax:
"’AD MODE <output 3-4> 10’"
Variables (See Variables for the Configuration Commands section on page 25):
output = 3 - 4
Examples:
SEND_COMMAND CAM,”’AD MODE 4 10’"
Sets Focus POT input to 8-bit level reporting (0-65535).
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=ON’"
