Changing the Personality 7-7
Note that this personality parameter should be set before you pick an appropriate value for
personality parameter 4.
30: Y Motor Direction, range 0 to 255, factory 0
This changes the Y motor direction. See parameter 29. Parameter 30 should be set before
you pick an appropriate value for parameter 5.
31: Z Motor Direction, range 0 to 255, factory 0
This changes the Z motor direction. It should be set nonzero if the FZ command produces
motion away from the Z Home switch. See parameter 29.
XY Acceleration and Step Rate
32: Default Acceleration, range 1 to 65535, factory 193
This sets the default XY acceleration which is applied at power up, at IN, and at an AC
with no parameter. See the AC command in Chapter 3.
33: Default Step Rate, range 1 to 65535, factory 10000
This sets the default XY step rate which is applied at power up, IN, and at an SR with no
parameter. See the SR command in Chapter 3.
34: Alternate Acceleration, range 1 to 65535, factory 193
This sets the XY acceleration which is used when a VM command sets the No SR bit. A
new value in this parameter does not take effect until after the next AC or SR command.
In other words, after changing parameter 34 you must send an AC and a VM, or an SR and
a VM.
35: Alternate Step Rate, range 1 to 65535, factory 20000
This sets the XY step rate which is used when a VM command sets the No SR bit. A
new value in this parameter does not take effect until after the next AC or SR command.
In other words, after changing parameter 35 you must send an AC and a VM, or an SR and
a VM.
Digital Inputs
36: Digital Inputs Trigger Enable, range 0 to 255, factory: 0
This determines which Digital Inputs are allowed to trigger some action. (Parameter 37
determines which action is triggered.)
If a particular bit of parameter 36 is a 1, any change from False-to-true on the
corresponding Digital Input causes the action to be triggered.
Conversely, if a particular bit of parameter 36 is a 0, False-to-true transitions on the
corresponding Digital Input are ignored for purposes of triggering. (However, the correct
states of the Digital Inputs can still be sensed via the ON and WN commands; see
Chapter 3.)
