The Zoom bargraph indicates the off-limits areas of the zoom range by two lit strips of
LED’s. The span of the allowed travel corresponds to the length of the un-lit LED’s.
Lens limits can be used to lock a motor to a given position. This is done by setting a
zero-
span
, where the beginning and end of the range are the same point. To lock a motor,
position the motor to the desired point and press the set button twice.
10. Panatape and Cine Tape Interfaces.
The Panatape and Cinetape units can be used to provide a distance reference that is
displayed by the HU3 main display screen.
The Panatape interface p/n 4534 connects the data receptacle (5-pin Lemo) on the
Panatape to the 4-pin Serial receptacle on the MDR2. MDR2 units with the 3-pin Lemo
receptacles require a hardware update.
The Cine Tape interface (p/n 4542) connects the Remote Lemo receptacle of the Cine
Tape to the 4-pin Serial receptacle of the MDR2.
The Panatape/ Cine Tape data will be displayed as soon as the interface is connected to
the MDR2. Pressing the Fshow button switches the display from the remote distance
measuring device to a dual display and finally to the default display showing the selected
lens as shown in the three figures above.
