1.4.3.2 Axis Polarity

Occasionally, it may be desirable to reverse the direction of one, two or all three motors so

that the movement of the joystick results in movement of the corresponding manipulator

mechanical in the opposite direction. An example of this would be the use of the manipulator

with an upright microscope where the image is inverted.

The axis polarity controls are located on the rear of the joystick column.

Each DIP-switch control affects one axis; switch 1 reverses the X-axis, switch 2 reverses the

Y-axis, and switch 3 reverses the Z-axis. The figure above illustrates the default axis polarity

settings for a left-hand (left image) and right-hand (right image) micromanipulator. Axis

polarities can be changed without having to power down the micromanipulator.
