Command:PR
This is a Tiger only command, that has different usage for MicroMirrors and Piezos.
- MicroMirror
-
Shortcut PR Format PR [axis]=[5 to 10] … Units Integer code, 5 to 10 Type Axis-Specific Remembered Automatically Firmware Required v2.83+ This command is “recycled” for a different use in MicroMirror axes than for piezo. In the context of a MicroMirror axis this command is used to set the MicroMirror travel range. Settings is automatically saved into non-voltatile memory, however controller needs a system
RESET
orRESTART
for setting to take effect.PR[Axis Name] = MicroMirror Range
in degrees5 5 6 6 8
(default)8 10 10 Example
PR A=5 :A
Sets range of A axis as 5 degrees
PR A? B? A=5 B=8 :A
Queries the range of axes
- Piezo
-
Shortcut PR Format PR [axis]=[0 to 8] … Units Integer code, 0 to 8 Type Axis-Specific Remembered Automatically PR is used to set the piezo travel range. It is an Axis specific command. Setting is automatically saved in the non-volatile memory. Will need a system RESET or RESTART for setting to take effect.

- Tunable Lens
-
Shortcut PR Format PR [axis]=[0 to 3] … Units Integer code, 0 to 3 Type Axis-Specific Remembered Automatically PR is used to set the Tunable Lens units or user input. It is an Axis specific command. Setting is automatically saved in the non-volatile memory. Will need a system RESET or RESTART for setting to take effect. For more info refer to Units/Resolution section on TGTLC card page.
PR [Axis Name] = Units 1 (default) [0 to 290mA] with coordinates -32768 to +32768 2 [0 to 290mA] 1/1000 of dpt, range usually between 26000 to 7000 3 [-290mA to +290mA] with coordinates -32768 to +32768
- SIGNAL_DAC for TGDAC4 / TGGALVO
-
Shortcut PR Format PR [axis]=[0-7] … Units Integer code, 0-7 Type Axis-Specific Remembered automatically, no SS Z required Firmware Required v3.3+ For TGDAC4 card with SIGNAL_DAC firmware, the bits 0-2 of the specified code sets the output range (values 0-7 in decimal). Bits 3-7 are reserved for future use. Controller reset or restart is needed for setting to take effect.
For the SIGNAL_DAC firmware, the axis units are always in millivolts (0.001V), regardless of the PR setting. For example, when PR H=2, the maximum axis value of H is 10240. When PR H=0, then the maximum axis value of H is 2048.
Code (Decimal) Code (Binary) Output range 0 000 0V to 2.048V 1 001 0V to 4.096V 2 010 0V to 10.24V 3 011 not supported 4 100 -1.024V to 1.024V 5 101 -2.048V to 2.048V 6 110 -5.12V to 5.12V 7 111 -10.24V to 10.24V Example
PR A=2 B=7 :A
Puts the output A in 0-10V mode and output B in +/- 10V mode.
PR A? B? :A A=2 B=7
Queries the mode of axes
