Comments • After initialization of the RTC6, drift compensation is turned off (gain = 1.0,
(cont'd) offset = 0). However, previously determined reference values are still available.
• If no appropriate Home-In reference values were stored or the scan system is not
equipped with Home-In sensors, then the measurement routine for
auto_cal(Command = 1) (axis-specific) automatically aborts and restores the prior state.

• For Command = 0, 1 or 2, a valid correction table must be loaded and assigned.
Otherwise, unexpected jumps can occur when gain/offset values are updated.
• Gain and offset correction can also be directly set by
Home-In sensors).
• Reference values determined and stored by auto_cal(Command = 0, 1 or 3) can be
queried by get_hi_pos.
• ASC hardware checks are performed not just by auto_cal(Command = 4), but also

simply that of the primary Command call (see above).
