APPENDIX C: SYSTEM CALIBRATION
•
Joystick Deadzone [%/100]
•
The percentage of dead zone around the center of the joystick
•
Joystick Limit X
•
The MIN and MAX limits for the X axis of the joystick, in joystick units
•
Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
•
Joystick Limit Y
•
The MIN and MAX limits for the Y axis of the joystick, in joystick units
•
Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
•
Laser Match [cnts]
•
Adjustment to synchronize left to right and right to left raster lines. Units are in number of
encoder counts
•
Laser Match Offset [cnts]
•
Offset of the raster data in X. Used to align raster and vector if needed. Units are in number of
encoder counts
•
Velocity Match Offset [cnts]
•
Offset of the raster data proportional to velocity. Units are in number of encoder counts
•
Park Position [in]
•
The position in inches to park the laser head when the machine is idle
•
Requires "Park Axis" to take effect
•
Plunger Offset [cnts]
•
The number of table encoder counts from the laser zero focus position, to the auto focus plunger
•
Rotary Offset [in]
•
The offset of the rotary origin, relative to the X and Y limit switches
•
Rotary Table Height [in]
•
The distance in inches to clear the rotary device
•
Scale [mm/in]
•
A scale factor to adjust the scale of the X and Y axis
•
Format is as follows: X,Y
•
Requires "Home Axis" to take effect
•
Must recalibrate cameras if this changes
•
Table Switch Locations [cnts]
•
A list of the locations in which the table switches were located
•
Table Current [A]
•
The current in Amps to run the table drive
•
Table Resolution [cnts/in]
•
The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the table
•
Must "Home Table" if this value is changed
•
CO2 Tickle Duration [us]
•
The duration of the laser tickle pulse in microseconds
•
CO2 Tickle Frequency [Hz]
•
The frequency of the laser tickle pulse in hertz
