G. MAX SPEED control dial
This dial is used to control the maximum speed of the elektraDRIVE
motors. The value is adjustable from
28
(being the slowest) to
1000
(being the fastest) and is displayed in the left column of the top
row on the home screen. For the sliders, these values are arbi-
trary and will vary depending on the which series of motor you are
using. Adjust and test as needed to achieve the speed required.
This dial can be adjusted in real-time during a camera move to ramp
speed up and down. These values are also recorded if creating a
recording to one of the memory banks.
H. DAMPING control dial
This dial is used to control the damping of the elektraDRIVE motors. The
value is adjustable in seconds from
.055s
to
2.55s
and is
displayed in the center column of the top row on the home screen.
Damping is the amount of time the motor takes to achieve maximum
speed (
G.
). This helps smooth the motion of moves.
A low value will make the motor jump to full speed quickly creating
snappy moves.
