Range; Current Position - Zaber T-CON3 User Manual

5.5.6 Range

This command enables the user to set the maximum range of the actuator (command 44). Please
see the user manual of the actuator for more detail on the maximum range parameter.
Set Range:
0282624 bit
The display shows the current maximum range retrieved from the actuator. Turning the rotary
knob changes the digit highlighted by the blinking cursor, while pressing the button next to the
number advances the cursor to the next digit. Pressing "Ok" sets the new maximum range of the
selected actuator, while "Back" cancels the operation without changing the maximum range.
The current position of the actuator may not exceed the maximum range setting of the actuator.
A Move Absolute or Move Relative command that exceeds the maximum range of the actuator
will be ignored.
Note that when setting the maximum range, the actuator firmware will adjust the maximum
range such that it falls within a natural boundary of the firmware. For example, setting the range
to 280000 may actually be adjusted to 280063 by the firmware.

5.5.7 Current Position

This command enables the user to set the current position of the actuator (command 45). The
current position is an internal counter of the actuator that keeps track of the whereabouts of the
actuator. The current position counter is automatically set to 0 when the device is homed. The
Current Position command is handy for resuming the previous position after turning off the
actuator without having to home the device.
Current Pos:
0045300 bit
The display shows the current position retrieved from the actuator. Turning the rotary knob
changes the digit highlighted by the blinking cursor, while pressing the button next to the number
advances the cursor to the next digit. Pressing "Ok" sets the new current position of the selected
actuator, while "Back" cancels the operation without changing the current position.
The current position of the actuator may not exceed the maximum range setting of the actuator.
Attempts to set the current position of the actuator beyond the maximum range will be ignored
by the actuator.
