Optimizing the Application for Repeatability
Optimizing the Application for Repeatability
The optimization for repeatability ensures better accuracy in positioning
the light path when switching.
³
With optimization activated, every time a switching occurs, the switch
mechanism returns to the “no continuity” (Off) position before
aligning to a new channel position. This option provides better
precision, but with slower switching.
³
With optimization deactivated, the switch mechanism goes directly to
the new channel position. This option provides faster switching, but
with less precision.
Note: This option is NOT available in the 1 x 2, 2 x 2 and 2 x 4 models.
To optimize switching for repeatability:
1. In the main window, select the Settings function tab.
2. Click the Optimize for Repeatability button. The light indicator on the
button will turn bright green to indicate optimization is active.
