SLIDER/DOLLY TIME LAPSE CALIBRATION

MOTION CONTROL -

SIMPLE

Note:

Simple mode is a feature from the older versions of the Oracle.

The new SmartLapse™ mode superceeds it in everyway and is the

preferred method. Although if you are used to using Simple mode you

can still activate it by following these instructions.

Make sure the slider motor is positioned to your left and move

the carriage to the left side (closest to the motor) of the track

using the joystick.

This procedure requires measuring the distance the slider moves

from start point to end point. The easiest way to do this is to move the

carriage all the way to the end of the track (point A), run the calibration,

then measure the gap between point A and point B when complete.
