6.5 Using the System Controls
The CNC version of the HDV system allows fully automatic operation under program control for illumination, for right-left position of the stage (X-axis), for up-down position of the stage (Y-axis), and for in-out position of the stage (Z-axis, used for focus adjustment). The systems also allow manual operation for setup, for quick individual measurements, and for short runs. Manual control is available through the system’s computer, but are driven by direct operator inputs, not by previously written programs.
6.5.1 Using the Joystick to Control the System
The HDV system can be manually controlled using the joystick. Position control of the stage in the X and Y axes can be controlled using the joystick and trackball unit as illustrated below. The following table provides the functionality of the joystick. Refer to the following figure for the location of the controls.
