● ROTATOR 1 is ... — Press either
S
or
+
button to enter edit mode and set
the desired rotator as lower rotator.
● ROTATOR 2 is ... — Press either
S
or
+
button to enter edit mode and set
the desired rotator as upper rotator.
● ROT. 2 SENSOR is ENABLED / DISABLED — Press the
S
button to switch
between the two options. If E2 or P1 have no sensor (like some prototypes),
or you do not want it to be used, then it can be disabled with this option.
Therefore, the leveling at powering on will be done without sensor,
assuming the upper rail is in the parked position.
○ If E2 or P1 is used as upper rotator with ROT.2 SENSOR ENABLED, at Set
POSITION in Simple Mode (or out of Menu in Advanced Mode), by
pressing
/
then quickly
S
, MECHA will level the upper rail if the
camera is above and near the level position, or below the level position,
down to parked.
○ If Rotator 2 sensor is DISABLED (or not supported), by pressing
/
then
quickly
S
, MECHA will perform a 90º rotation up, and by pressing
\
then quickly
S
, it will perform a 90º rotation down.
So now you can set button intervals freely, as there is
/S
and and
\S
for 90º rotations.
Backlash compensation options
● BACKLASH 1 COMPENSATION — Compensation of backlash for the lower
rotator.
● BACKLASH 2 COMPENSATION — Compensation of backlash for the upper
rotator.
The purpose of backlash compensation is to improve the precision of left-right
and up-down movements, and it can be performed after a long period of use.
