Specifications

Operation

Macro execution can be stopped from the command line with #24. The STP

command stops macro execution only when it is part of the macro.

A running macro may not be deleted.

You can query with #8 if a macro is currently running on the controller.

3.8.3 Start-Up Macro

With MAC DEF <macroname> it is possible to set the specified macro as

start-up macro. This macro will be automatically executed with the next

power-on or reboot of the controller.

Example:

MAC BEG init

ONL 1 1 2 1 3 1

SVO A 1 B 1 C 1

VCO A 1 B 1 C 1

DCO A 1 B 1 C 1

VEL A 20 B 20 C 20

MAC END

This macro switches the E-517 to ONLINE mode and closed-loop

operation, enables velocity control mode and drift compensation mode and

sets the velocity to 20 µm/s.

To ask for the current start-up macro setting, send

MAC DEF?

To undo the current start-up macro selection, send

MAC DEF

i.e. omit <macroname>.

Deleting the current start-up macro with MAC DEL <macroname> also

deletes the start-up macro selection.

NOTE

To skip the execution of the start-up macro, press the trackball once

immediately after you have powered on or rebooted the piezo control

electronics (while "Physik Instrumente" is still shown on the display).

For details about the trackball handling, see "Trackball Functions" (p.

22).
