• Joystick Deadzone [%/100]
• The percentage of dead zone around the center of the joystick
• Joystick Limit X
• The MIN and MAX limits for the X axis of the joystick, in joystick units
• Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
• Joystick Limit Y
• The MIN and MAX limits for the Y axis of the joystick, in joystick units
• Format is as follows: MIN,MAX
• Laser Match [cnts]
• Adjustment to synchronize left to right and right to left raster lines. Units are in number of
encoder counts
• Laser Match Offset [cnts]
• Offset of the raster data in X. Used to align raster and vector if needed. Units are in number of
encoder counts
• Velocity Match Offset [cnts]
• Offset of the raster data proportional to velocity. Units are in number of encoder counts
• Park Position [in]
• The position in inches to park the laser head when the machine is idle
• Requires “Park Axis” to take effect
• Plunger Offset [cnts]
• The number of table encoder counts from the laser zero focus position, to the auto focus plunger
• Rotary Offset [in]
• The offset of the rotary origin, relative to the X and Y limit switches
• Rotary Table Height [in]
• The distance in inches to clear the rotary device
• Scale [mm/in]
• A scale factor to adjust the scale of the X and Y axis
• Format is as follows: X,Y
• Requires “Home Axis” to take effect
• Must recalibrate cameras if this changes
• Table Switch Locations [cnts]
• A list of the locations in which the table switches were located
• Table Current [A]
• The current in Amps to run the table drive
• Table Resolution [cnts/in]
• The number of encoder counts per inch of travel for the table
• Must “Home Table” if this value is changed
• CO2 Tickle Duration [us]
• The duration of the laser tickle pulse in microseconds
• CO2 Tickle Frequency [Hz]
• The frequency of the laser tickle pulse in hertz
