Response Description
Sets up an AutoScan function for stage. Where:
E = camera exposure time (ms)
S = stage settle time (ms). If the stage vibrates due to high
accelerations you may need to have a settling time before
triggering the camera)
P = TTL out pin (1 of 4)
T = TTL trigger state (high or low)
R = raster type : 'R' = raster, 'S' = snake
E.g. AS,10,0,1,H,R
Exposure time: 10ms
Settle time: 0ms
TTL output pin: 1
0
TTL trigger state: High to trigger camera
Pattern type: A standard Raster.
Example usage:
1. Set raster size e.g. "N,99,99" to give a 100x100
raster
2. Set step size e.g. "X,1,1" to give 1u steps size in
both X and Y travel
3. Set raster parameters with AS command:
4. Move to desired start position (this will be the
first image collected)
5. Send "AS,1" to start the raster. It will run raster
without further commands from the PC.
6. To query when the raster has finished, send "AS"
command. A response of "1" indicates raster still
running, a response of "0" indicates raster has
finished.
n Where n =0 indicating idle, n=1 indicating raster active
