contact your service technician.

Using this function, you can save the following parameters for
various frequently recurring phases (cycles) of the operation:
• Mainlight brightness
• OttoFlex™ brightness
• Magnification
• Depth Enhancer
• OCF1

• OCF1 pulse signal; e.g., for triggering an inverter from SDI
Oculus
• ADF1, ADF2 pulse signal for triggering external systems, e.g.
Leica Video Recording On/Off
The focus can take on three states:
• "Inactive": Off
• "Active (absolute)": the learned, absolute position is accurately
approached.
• "Active (relative)": the learned distance between 2 dots is
traveled, e.g., for defined contact magnifiers for retina
operations.
WARNING
Risk of injury!
For the StepCycle™ function to be available, you must first
assign it to a key on your footswitch. Then, the "Rec.Cycle"
button appears in the dynamic button bar.
You can create an individual StepCycle™ procedure for each
user.

StepCycle™ parameters
Pay special attention to the required safety distances if

you use the StepCycle™ function together with
accessories from other manufacturers that can reduce
the working distance to less than 140 mm (non-contact
wide-angle observation systems), since focus together
with StepCycle is a semi-automated function.
