Slowing down Axiovert "set Travel Velocity to Infinity"

Post by user-7219 »

Hi,
I am trying to control an the Axiovert 200M's stage by sending serial commands directly to the MCU28.
When I use the "set Travel Velocity to Infinity" command, sending the smallest value of "1", like so:
FPZIV1
is still too fast for my application.
Is there any way to slow down the motors, or set the range of speeds?
Thanks,
Eyal

Hello eshahar,

this is a bit 'off topic' but I managed to get some info:

There should be a 'slow move' mode which can be set with

FPZJV1

with values from 1 to 190

to start the slow move

FPZJ7FFFFF for +infinity position

and 'most likely'

FPZJ800000 for -infinity Position

This should also be documented in your Manual ; - )

Thanks for your reply. I know this is a bit off topic - what forum would this be better in?

I am building a software platform that takes input from a joystick to control the microscope. The problem with the J command is that I cannot control the speed of each axis independently the same way I can with the IVcommand. Is there any solution you can think of?
