Target Dwell: The amount of time that motion pauses at each target to allow the interferometer to take each

measurement and record the results.

Use: Refer to the instruction manual for your laser interferometer to determine how to set this value.

Mapping Speed: The program speed of the part program that the CNC creates for mapping.

Number of Runs: The number of runs that the interferometer makes on the axis. Set this to a minimum of 2.

Use: Set this to an even number between 2 and 1000 because the interferometer must travel to the end of
the axis and then return. The greater the number of runs, the more precise the motion compensation can be.

Setting Speeds

The Speeds setup screen is where you set the machine speeds for the operating modes.

The CNC is capable of operating over a wide range of speeds, depending on the drives, motors, gearboxes, and
mechanics of the system.

Speed 0 To: Specifies speed ranges (or breaks) and customizes the acceleration rates for these speeds. When a speed

range that is lower than the maximum speed is entered, a new range at the maximum machine speed setting
is created. You can set a maximum of 5 speed ranges.

To reduce the number of Speed To ranges, enter the maximum speed in the highest range and the additional
range fields will be removed from the screen.
