Response Description
Sets the focus speed to s in units specified by u. u = u Units are microns
per second. u is the default unit and can be omitted. To stop a virtual focus
R
move use VZ,0 Note that UPR must be set to achieve correct linear focus
speed.
0 Sets the stage and focus absolute position to zero (0,0,0).
d=1 Sets direction of rotation of focus motor for commands sent via serial
0 port. Defaults to 1 and is correct for motor fitted on right hand side of the
microscope. d=-1 Direction of rotation of focus motor opposite to above.
d Returns d
Sets the user unit step size in microsteps for the Z. By default this value is
0 the number of microsteps/0.1microns. This value is linked with RES,Z and
ZD values
Returns the current number of microsteps per user unit.
s NOTE: in COMPATABILITY mode this value is based on the older 100
microsteps/fullstep of H127/128 systems!
Sets the desired resolution for the axis Z, r can be a non-integer number
setting the resolution for the axis in units of microns. UPR command must
be implemented before using this command for Z axis.
e.g
UPR,z,400
RES,z,0.1
Resolution set to 0.1 micron for a focus mechanism of 400 microns per
revolution of the motor.
Returns resolution for axis Z.
0 Sets the current Z acceleration to a. Range is 1 to 100
a Report the current Z acceleration setting.
0 Sets the s-curve value for Z in units of % in the range 1 to 100.
c Returns the s-curve value.
m Report the current Z maximum speed setting m
0 Sets the current Z maximum speed to m. Range is 1 to 100
Sets the number of microns (n) linear movement per revolution of the
motor for the axis a. E.g. UPR,Z,100 is set for a motor fitted to the fine
focus knob with 100 microns focus movement per revolution.
0
Default UPR setting is dependent on the device fitted, ie 100 for normal
focus motor, 1000 for FB20x focus blocks.
The UPR command always sets RES,Z back to 0.1 microns.
n Returns microns per revolution for the axis Z
Defines a focus plane between three pairs of XY co-ordinates. Position to
each of 3 XY points, focus at each point and issue ZPLANE,1 for 1st point ;
ZPLANE,2 and ZPLANE,3 for 2nd and 3rd points.
0
ZPLANE,E then enables focus tracking across entire stage based on that
plane. Move to any XY point and Z will move accordingly.
ZPLANE,D disables focus tracking.
a Returns zplane enabled status 'a' [0|1]
