Operation
Model 2090 Multi-Device Controller
USING A MULTI-AXIS POSITIONER
To configure a MAPS do the following for both devices:
Set
P1
to 0
; Define device as a turntable
Set
P2
to 0
; Standard Turntable
Set
C
to appropriate calibration value. See the
section “Model 2090 Parameter List” for the
calibration value.
Each axis of an ETS-Lindgren Multi-Axis Positioning
System is a single device on the Model 2090. Both devices
should be configured as a standard turntable (the Model
2090 will automatically detect the variable speed capability
of the MAPS). The main turntable base (azimuth axis)
must be configured in non-continuous rotation mode, since
the power and control cables for the second axis are run
through the center of the first. Depending on the
configuration, the ortho (elevation) axis can be continuous
or non-continuous. If additional cables are used along this
axis, it should be configured for non-continuous rotation.
