Description
This Object allows selecting the serial ports for the specific needs. Choices
are:
Remote, Terminal, Printer, Barcode, ExtDev, VICI-Vlv (for serial valve
drives), or None.
In the class Motors the Object Motor-Y is accessible in order to select the
1
items Strategy and Path Speed.
Three different settings are selectable for the Y-Motor movement strategy:
• Rectang = normal movement as used for system. (On firmware level <
4.01.X. this mode was called Auto.) XY-Simul = X,-Y-axes move
simultaneously, which allows movement in a diagonal direction. (At
firmware level < 4.1.X this mode was called Rectang, but it was not
active at lower levels.)
• Retract = Y-axis moves from any point first to zero Y (back to the X-axis)
before the X-movement is started. This mode allows bypassing an
object (such as a large GC detector) which may be in the travel path if
the default mode Rectang is used.
• Path Speed = Y-axis motor speed in conjunction with a Path, example:
Opening and closing a drawer of a Stack. In certain situations it is
necessary to slow down the speed to open and close a drawer. Typical
application example is fraction collection, collecting directly into a well
plate. If the liquid level is high, the liquid can wash over into the next
row if drawer movement is too fast.
At Firmware level 4.1.X these items of the Y motor have been made
available at the Extended User Level.
Available beginning at Firmware Level 4.1.X
