5.3.4 Moving to Targets
There are two primary methods of moving to your defined targets: manually and Cycling.
To execute the targets manually, ensure that Cycling is turned off and select the target name on the
main Positioner window. This can be done by either clicking on the target name or the radio button
to the left of the target name. The instrument will move to that target and remain there. To de-
select the target, click on the name or button again.
To turn Cycling on, either select CYCLING|START from the menu or click on the Start Cycling
indicator light. The 2AP will execute the targets in the order that they appear on the list indefinitely
until Cycling is stopped by either selecting CYCLING|STOP from the menu, clicking the Stop
Cycling indicator light, or selecting the Override button.
5.3.5 Manual Override
In instances where a temporary instrument position or a static target is desired for an indefinite
duration, the manual override feature can be used. The Override button is found on the main
Positioner window and can be accessed at any time. If pressed while the unit is Cycling, Override
will take over and cycling will immediately be stopped. If the instrument was On Target when
Override mode was accessed, the target position will be regained once Override is exited, but
Cycling will be disabled.
Refer to figure 5.7 for the Override dialog box. The red circle with the dot in the middle indicates the
current position of the 2AP and the red cross-hairs indicate the desired target position. To move to
a new target while in this mode, either point and click on the new position or drag the red cross-
hairs.

5.3.6 Monitoring 2AP Position During Operation
A position monitor can be used to visually represent the current position of the 2AP in addition to
the main Positioner window. This window can be opened by selecting 2AP|VIEW POSITION in the
main window and can be accessed while the unit is Cycling. It is essentially the same as the
Override box except that no position commands can be made. This dialog box is shown in figure
5.8.
