CI-100 Crucible Indexer Operating Manual
Main Screen
The CI-100 Crucible Indexer V1.XX software can be used to control the CI-100,
send or receive a configuration file, send commands and receive responses, or
simply used to monitor the position of the CI-100.
Pocket: The uppermost left grid of the main screen shows the current position and
status of the CI-100. A "?" indicates that software is not communicating with the
CI-100 at the present time. When "Moving" the position will display a "?" until the
desired position is reached at which time the pocket number will be displayed and
the CI-100 enters the "Ready" state.
Move: The next grid down is the move grid. From here the desired pocket (1-8) can
be chose by clicking on the up and down arrows while the "pocket" option is
selected. When the "speed" option is selected you can define the speed (1-20) of
the motor.
Control: The next grid down is the control grid. From here the method of controlling
the CI-100 is defined. The CI-100 can be controlled manually through the unit itself,
through another device via I/O or through PC communications. The "Read" button
in this grid reads the current setting on the CI-100 and sets the bullet next to the
current control state accordingly. The "Send" command will send the chosen
control state to the CI-100.
NOTE: To control the CI-100 from the software it must be in a comm control state.
If set to I/O, manual control of the pocket & sending configurations will not
be allowed.
Switches: This feature is currently unavailable.
Custom Configuration: This grid allows for custom configurations to be defined,
read or sent to the CI-100. Set the custom configuration as desired for pockets 1
to 8 (refer to
section 3.4, Custom Configuration, on page 3-5 ). Click CI-100 Send
to send the custom configuration to the CI-100. Click CI-100 Read to download the
current configuration from the CI-100. Click File Save to save the configuration to
disk. Click File Open to open saved configuration files typically from the default
save location.
Exit: choose this option to close the CI-100 software.
Comm: Choose this option to change communication options or for sending
commands and receiving responds. The Find button will send a "@" to the unit
which should response with a version number. this confirms that communications
are established. The port in use can also be defined here.
NOTE: While a ethernet comm option is shown in this screen, ethernet is not
available on the CI-100.
