Purpose
This program performs a number of initialization and
"syncronization" functions.
Invocation
Launch the program by typing the following command at the
lrisserver command line:
init.tcl
Usage
- Click the API MOTOR CONTROLLERS
button to initialize and configure all LRIS motor controllers.
Default operating parameter values are downloaded to each
controller. This is equivalent to the following keyword
command:
modify -s lris init=1
- Click the ABSOLUTE ENCODERS
button to initialize and configure all LRIS absolute encoders.
This downloads default operating parameter values to each
controller. It also sets the readout mode to the appropriate
value, either HEXADECIMAL or DECIMAL.
This is equivalent to the following keyword command:
modify -s lris init=2
- Click the STAGE POSITIONS
button to have the software interrogate every stage feedback
mechanism, determine the current position of each and write
this value to the state file. This is sometimes necessary if,
for some reason, the state file and the instrument become "out
of sync." This is equivalent to the following keyword
command:
modify -s lris init=3
- Click the ALL ABOVE button to
perform all 3 of the functions described above. This is
equivalent to the following keyword command:
modify -s lris init=0
- Click the QUIT button to
terminate the program.
