Changing the Personality 7-3
The Personality Parameters
Arrow Buttons
1: Arrow Single Step Delay, range 0 to 65535, factory 3000
The Arrow buttons (see Chapter 4) have three modes of operation. If you press and
immediately release a button, the motor takes a single microstep. If you hold the button for
a while, the motor begins to turn slowly. If you press FAST with the button, the motor
moves rapidly. This personality parameter sets the amount of delay after the single step,
before the motor begins to move slowly. The parameter is multiplied by approximately
100 microseconds; thus the factory-set value 3000 corresponds to approximately 0.3
seconds of delay.
2: Arrow Slow Step Delay, range 0 to 65535, factory 100
This parameter sets the delay between slow Arrow button steps (i.e. the speed of travel);
see Arrow Single Step Delay, above. The parameter is multiplied by approximately 100
microseconds.
3: Arrow Fast Step Delay, range 0 to 65535, factory 3
This parameter sets the delay between fast Arrow button steps (i.e. the speed of travel); see
Arrow Single Step Delay, above. The parameter is multiplied by approximately 100
microseconds.
4: X Arrow Direction Swap, range 0 to 255, factory 0
If this parameter is zero the Left Arrow button moves the carriage toward lower-numbered
X coordinates and the Right Arrow, toward higher. If the parameter is nonzero the
functions of the Left and Right Arrows are swapped. See personality parameter 29.
5: Y Arrow Direction Swap, range 0 to 255, factory: see text
If this parameter is zero the Down Arrow button moves the carriage toward
lower-numbered Y coordinates and the Up Arrow, toward higher. If the parameter is
nonzero the functions of the Up and Down Arrows are swapped. The factory setting is
zero for normal Automove X-Y tables and controllers, and is 1 for Automove X-Y tables
configured for upside-down mounting. See parameter 30.
