ADMIN Commands
The aiming of the SmartCool Head Unit can be fine-tuned to compensate for installation variance or a sagging
coolant stream (non-linear).
ADMIN Command
Description
ADMIN SMARTCOOL_OFFSET
Offset SmartCool Head Unit up or down as appropriate. Positive values move the
stream up, negative values move the stream down.
For example,
ADMIN SMARTCOOL_OFFSET 1.0
moves the coolant stream one unit higher.
NOTE:
This offset applies to every pointing operation, and is retained by the controller; it is not affected by
PathPilot software upgrades.
