User manual

Sample screen presented below informs about the position of the slider [1]. There are 10 min left until the end
of the track [2]. The drive has already taken eight photos out of two hundred and fifty photos set by the user [3].
The user can stop the program at any time by pressing the joystick for 2 seconds. When the drive has taken all the
photos and stops the program there will be a message on the screen: Timelaps end OK to exit. Press
the joystick to return to the main menu.
6.2.4. ANIMATION
ANIMATION allows to program track of the slider during which the drive take series of photos (the drive will trigger
the shutter release itself through a cable connected to the camera). After entering ANIMATION program set
the individual parameters :
Direction – direction in which the slider moves: right/ left
HomePos – home position (measured in mm). Position determined by the user from which the drive
should start its work. Home position can be determined in any place (within the range
of calibration)
Step – length of step (measured in mm)
Steps – number of steps. Controller calculates the maximum amount of steps basing on home
position (HomePos) and selected direction of movement.
Shots – number of shots to take after the slider stops
Delay – time of the delay. Time after the slider stops before the drive triggers the shutter (0-9s)
[Start] – ANIMATION program starts
<Back> – controller returns to main menu
When you select [Start] in ANIMATION program there will be a message displayed on the screen:
"Go Home?". The controller requires the user decision whether the slider should start the movement
from determined HomePos (-> Y) or whether to start the movement from the current position
(N <-). Select the option by moving the joystick in the appropriate direction. DirR on the screen indicates
the selected direction of the movement, in that particular example: right. You can return to the main menu
at any time by pressing the joystick.

Please note that it is important to select a proper direction of the movement in ANIMATION
program. If you choose movement direction as left and the slider will be located in the left
reference point " 0", the device will encounter resistance as it is the end of its movement range.
Consequently, the drive will not move.
