HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM 4.1 Main functions To access the "Aladdin" structures kit from the K2 SW, you have to open a dedicated session. Fig. 4-1 – Opening window K2 SW Step 1 Click once with the left mouse button on the "K2" icon contained in the blue bar at the top of the initial K2 SW window (see Fig. 4-1). A series of options appears, from which you have to select External device settings (see Fig.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 Fig. 4-2 – External device settings command 4.2 Functioning principles using the PSG carpet Step 1 click once with the left mouse button on the “K2” icon on the blue bar of the initial K2 SW window (see Fig. 4-1), the menu that appears contains a series of commands, from which you should select External device settings (see Fig. 4-2). Step 2 this opens the window shown in Fig.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 Step 3 in Aladdin PSG mode, you can select the acquisition coordinates (see Fig. 4-4). Fig. 4-4 –Aladdin PSG field • The following parameters can be selected in this field: Sound enabled: acquisition; activates acoustic sound during Carpet line dist.: distance between two lines on the PSG carpet.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 Fig. 4-5 – Aladdin system Step 2: Start the K2 SW, perform the calibration and set the Aladdin structures kit parameters.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 4.3.2 “Manual” Mode Steps 1-4: Follow the same procedure described for "Automatic" mode above. Step 5: Acquis ition starts when you press the START button, independently of the position of the first horizontal line encountered. Step 6A (Standard System): Insertion of User Markers during scanning is performed by rapidly pressing the START button.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 Fig. 4-6 – PSG Carpet The PSG carpet holds alternated upper and lower guides in order to make the slide perfectly fit and for the antenna to realize straight scans. Also the slide holds a special film on its external surface removing to the minimum the friction during the drag of the antenna on PSG.
IDS Ingegneria Dei Sistemi S.p.A. “ALADDIN” STRUCTURE KIT User Manual Protocol: MN/2009/061 - Rev. 1.1 Fig. 4-7 – Features of PSG and slide Follow the same operative procedure used in the "Manual" procedure described above. NOTE! The main difference with respect to the "Manual" mode consists in the absence of the Tolerance control factor, therefore you are free to choose how long the scan should be (Length). This mode is useful when scans of different lengths have to be performed.
