Ctrl Command get_head_status
Comments • The Power Status and Temperature Status signals deliver combined status information
(cont'd) of both axes.
• In any case also obey the status signal information described in the manual of your
scan system.
• With iDRIVE scan systems (see Glossary entry on
– Without the SL2-100 interface, get_head_status only returns meaningful
return values, if the
– the Position Acknowledge signals of the x- and y axis are logically AND-connected
and only returned as a common signal (for example, at Bit #3,4).
– after a reset or power-up of the scan system, it can take around 5 seconds for data
to be returned from the scan system.
• Status signals can also be read out by:
– get_value
– get_values
– set_trigger/set_trigger4/set_trigger8
• See also
for information about using two scan heads.
RTC4RTC6 Basically unchanged functionality. However:
• The RTC6 allows the simultaneous reading of both scan head connectors' status words,
and with iDRIVE scan systems with SL2-100 interface even independently of the signal
to be returned (set by control_command).
• With iDRIVE scan systems, Bit #0 and Bit #1 do not return information about the
operational readiness of the scan system (see get_value).
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
