6) 2-1/2 seconds
7) 5 seconds
8) 7.5 seconds
9) 10 seconds
If any output crosses or reaches the level it is being commanded
to, it will drop out of Ease-In mode and begin following the command
normally. You can tell when an Ease-In is being performed by the
Heartbeat jumping to a speed twice normal. Once all outputs have
dropped out of Ease-In mode, the heartbeat will return to its regular
rate.
Which outputs have been set to use the Ease-In Feature is shown
under the column labeled ‘EI’. Outputs which will be Eased In are
shown by the letter ‘Y’. All other channels will be unaffected by the
Ease-In.
p) Set Analog Endpoints: This command is used to adjust the endpoints
of the sixteen ServoMotor outputs. The ‘Set Min/Max/Forced using
Keypad’ is actually a much easier way of setting these values. Use it if
you can.
The ServoMotor outputs can be adjusted to sweep anywhere be-
tween .0009 and 2.048 milliseconds. Most ServoMotors aren’t able to
follow this wide a range of pulse width. They will either run into their
mechanical ends of travel (which is not a healthy thing for a
ServoMotor) or just turn off when the command pulse gets to narrow
or too wide.
By using these commands you can set either endpoint to any-
where among .0009 and 2.048 milliseconds for a reduced (or re-
versed) motor output swing. To reverse any servo, all you need to do
is set the lower limit to a value higher than the upper limit. The end-
points for all sixteen outputs are displayed in the ‘Analog Endpoints’
columns on the display.
The endpoints can only be set for the on-board ServoMotor out-
puts. A new output address will be requested if the currently selected
'Output to Test & Adjust' is not pointing at an on-board output.
u) set Min/Max/Forced using keypad: This command is used to set the
three main variables used for each servo output output. These are
the two endpoints and forced values. This is the quickest way to set
and adjust the outputs. Once this command is invoked, the currently
selected output can be adjusted using the numeric keypad on your
computer:
a) The ‘Minimum Scale’ endpoint is set using the ‘7’ (increase the
