5.5.2 Modules for Moving option

The lightSTUDIO-M incorporates three functionalities: the translation chart, the rotation chart, and the
iQ-Trigger. The three modules are displayed in the software for controlling these devices. The iQ-
trigger is connected to the lightSTUDIO directly without the iQ-Trigger USB box, which is part of the
lightSTUDIO-M. The iQ-Trigger may be used as a stand-alone device with a USB box. See the
documentation of the iQ-Trigger for further details.

5.5.2.1 Translation

Each time the program is started, a calibration movement of the (translational) chart must be
performed to define a so-called home position for the motor control. Click the home button [1] to start
the procedure: the chart moves to the center and then to the final destination on the right side.
This procedure can be performed at any time; it is obligatory in the following cases:
•
The main power of the lightSTUDIO is turned off during the runtime of the program
•
The safety clamp is released
•
One of the emergency stop switches of the lightSTUDIO is released.
Now all other functions are enabled. With the right [2], center [3], or left [4] buttons, the chart is moved
to the very right, center, and very left positions with default velocities (see
In the sequence table, translational movements for the test chart can be edited. Values between 0.001
and 3.0 m/s can be entered in the velocity column. Movements from left to right or reverse are
available in the direction column. If two subsequent directions in the list are equal, a return movement
is inserted with a default velocity defined in the settings
NOTE:
Compared to the illumination list or the rotation list, a translation of the test chart is not
triggered by start and end times but only by the velocity setting. Due to varying acceleration
and deceleration of the motor, the duration for one period can only be estimated. The
progress bar for the translation hints at how long it lasts, but it may not be highly exact.
