Shortcut IJ Format [addr#]AIJ [X=i] [Y=j] Units array location Type Card-Addressed Required Firmware Module ARRAY
Used with the
ARRAY
command to move to array location (i,j), where i and j are the indices of the desired array location. TheAHOME
location is position (1,1). The query “AIJ X? Y?” will return the i and j locations where the stage is currently.The assignments of horizontal (“fast”) and vertical (“slow”) axes are done using the SCAN command. Most users will never need to change the defaults: the horizontal or X axis is the card’s first axis and the vertical or Y axis is the card’s second axis.

(horiz_position, vert_position)
subsequently pulses the laser TTL signal. Positions are specified in axis units (the same as used by the WHERE or MOVE command). If the X and/or Y argument is omitted, the corresponding position from the last AIJ command will be used. Note that the position is changed as a side effect of this command. The WHERE or MOVE command will change the beam position without pulsing the laser TTL signal.The TTL output used was the micromirror card itself (rarely wired to anything) until v3.35, but as of v3.36 the laser trigger backplane line is used instead so that the signal is more accessible.
The settling delay before turning on the laser and the laser pulse high time are specified using the WAIT and RTIME commands respectively.
The assignments of horizontal (“fast”) and vertical (“slow”) axes are done using the SCAN command (most users will never need to change the defaults: the horizontal or X axis is the card’s first axis and the vertical or Y axis is the card’s second axis).
