3.3.7 Presets
Preset positions can be stored to a preset number between (1) and (50).
The controller comes from the factory with the preset [0] (zero) set to move the positioner to
the mid-point of both the pan and tilt. In this position the tilt platform will be horizontal and the
pan axis will be in the center position. This is referred to as the Home position.
The customer can program a stowed position by setting preset position [1]. The customer
can program an unstow position by setting preset position [2].
Presets can be set or recalled using the keyboard keys, or through menu functions. Presets
can only be cleared through menu functions. It is possible to overwrite presets through either
method.
3.3.7.1 Setting Presets with the Keyboard
To store a preset position using the keyboard:
1. Use the joystick to drive the positioner to the desired position for the preset.
2. Press [Set].
3. Press [N] where "N" represents the number being assigned to the preset position.
4. Press [Pre]. The preset position is stored.
3.3.7.2 Recalling Presets with the Keyboard
The preferred way to recall a preset position is with the keyboard as moving the joystick
while in the menu will not stop the motion of the positioner (e.g. if an emergency stop is
required).
To recall a stored preset position using the keyboard:
1. Press [N] where "N" represents the number assigned to the desired preset position.
2. Press [Pre]. The positioner will move to the preset position. When moving to a preset
position, the positioner will:
•
First pan and then tilt when moving to the stowed position
•
First tilt and then pan when moving to the unstowed position
•
Simultaneously pan and tilt for any user defined preset position other than
stowed or unstowed
As the positioner nears the preset position, it will slow down. If an emergency stop is
required as the positioner is moving to a preset position, move the joystick to cancel
out the preset position command.
