The columns displayed on this window show a number of motor parameters. They are as follows:
•
Motor - the motor channel number
•
Position - current set position, referenced to that set's reference point (generally the stage floor).
•
SUL/SSL - Soft Upper Limit (or Soft Stored Limit) position. This limit is set for the motor, and will take
precedence over any show-specific soft limits - show limits can be set at this value or lower, but cannot be
set higher than this point.
•
SLL/SDL - Soft Lower Limit (or Soft Deployed Limit) position. This limit is set for the motor, and will take
precedence over any show-specific soft limits - show limits can be set at this value or higher, but cannot
be set lower than this point.
•
Max Velocity - The maximum velocity possible for a set. Expressed in units per second (in the example,
8" per second - 40fpm).
•
RatioN - Numerator of the encoder ratio. Value set at system startup,
must not be changed
.
•
RatioD - Denominator of the encoder ratio. Value set at system startup,
must not be changed
.
•
RunTime - Cumulative run time for the motor, since system startup.
•
Status - Status message regarding motor operation. This is the same status message that is displayed in
the left pane of the main screen while a recorded Preset or Cue is being played. Messages include:
Brake Released - motor brake is released
Motor Turning - motor is in motion
At Target - set is at move target
•
UpOffset - targeting distance for fixed speed sets; distance between the end of a "Go Up" signal and the
point where the set stops. Value set at system startup, must not be changed.
•
DownOffset - targeting distance for fixed speed sets; distance between the end of a "Go Down" signal
and the point where the set stops. Value set at system startup, must not be changed.
The following parameters relate to Load Sensing, on systems so equipped.
•
Load - The net weight carried on the batten (entered by user following load learn process). If LdBase is
set for 0, this will be the total load held by the winch.
•
LdWndw – The window of acceptable variations in load (entered by user following load learn process)
•
LdMin – The minimum load on the set (calculated by system during load learn process)
•
LdMax – The maximum load on the set (calculated by system during load learn process)
•
LdBearing – The winch capacity (entered during system setup)
•
LdBase – The weight of the batten (entered during system setup). May be set to 0 to allow Load to
reflect the total winch load.
