JOG(OPCS) Optical Printer Control System JOG(OPCS)
NAME
jog - jog motors interactively
USAGE
jog # jog any channels
jog [channels] # jog only specific channels
EXAMPLES
jog f # jog the 'f' channel with the numeric keypad
jog # jog ANY channels with numeric keypad
DESCRIPTION
This command brings up a menu oriented display where single key
presses can run the printer.
Keys on the numeric keypad are used for picking different motor
channels and jogging the motors forward or reverse at 3 different
speeds; Step, Crawl, and Slew:

You can redefine the number of pulses that STEP and CRAWL move per
keypress. See JOGSTEP(OPCSDEFS).
Also, some of the KEY command keys are active as well. The function
and number keys along the top of the keyboard allow the operator to
run frames on the projectors and camera, as well as fade/dissolves,
reset counters, rat, rep, etc.

Key Description
_ --- ---------------------------------------------------
| 1 Reverse in vernier mode. Hold to repeat.
| 2 Reverse in crawl mode. Hold to repeat.
| 3 Reverse in slew mode. Runs until key is released.
| 4 -
Numeric | 5 -
Key Pad -| 6 -
| 7 Forward in vernier mode. Hold to repeat.
| 8 Forward in crawl mode. Hold to repeat.
| 9 Forward in slew mode. Runs until key is released.
| + Select next channel to jog (i.e. 'a' becomes 'b')
|_ - Select previous channel to jog (i.e. 'b' becomes 'a')
ALT-A Selects the 'a' channel
ALT-B Selects the 'b' channel, etc..
V Toggles 'Slave / No Slave' mode. [See COMMENTS]
Z Sends current channel to '0' position
R Reset counters [See COMMENTS]
U Unlocks the motors (runs 'unlock' command)
ENTER Saves current positions as a keyframe.
L Load keyframe positions. [See COMMENTS]
E Edit the keyframe list. See below 'KEYFRAME EDITOR'
S Saves keyframes created with ENTER key, and E)ditor
C Clears all keyframes so you can start again.
COMMENTS
V - If slaving is off, you can jog the zoom without moving
the focus. With slaving on, moving zoom also moves focus.
R - In 'reset' mode, use Up/Dn arrows to select the channel
to reset, and enter the new numeric value. Use ESC or Q
to return to normal jog mode.
L - Loads the keyframe positions so they can be added to,
edited, etc.
NOTES
If you are jogging positioning motors (not frame counter motors),
and find that releasing the key does not immediately stop the motor,
check the PPR(OPCSDEFS) setting for that channel. Normally
positioning channels should have a low value like 10 for PPR.
When jogging the ZOOM, follow focus is not immediate when slewing.
During a move, only the zoom will move until the key is released.
At that point the focus will move to the appropriate focus position.
This 'delay' is noticeable with especially with the SLEW keys (3&9).
GOTCHYAS
When using JOG(OPCS) inching keys on a channels like the camera and
projector, the counters WILL NOT CHANGE, so as not to lose your frame
counts for that channel.
BUGS
Currently the 0-9 keys (non-numeric keypad number keys) are not active
during 'jog', although in the future they will echo the same functions
the KEY command supports for those keys.
THE KEYFRAME EDITOR
-------------------
The keyframe editor is a simple tool to help correct mistakes made
while finding keyframes. It is a sub-menu of the JOG command, and
is accessed as 'E' from the JOG menu.
UP/DOWN Move the cursor to different keyframes. In the
keyframe editor, the position list at the bottom
right of the screen shows the positions FOR THE
KEYFRAME the cursor is currently on.
PgUp/PgDn If you have many keyframes saved, this will
scroll through them a page at a time.
DELETE Deletes the keyframe positions the cursor is currently
sitting on, and all positions below it are
'moved up one' to replace the deleted keyframe.
INSERT This inserts the current motor positions as a new
keyframe where the cursor is sitting, and all the
other key positions below it will be shifted down one.
G Sends all motors to selected keyframe's positions.
ESC Returns to the JOG mode.
COMMON KEYFRAME EDITING
-----------------------
DELETING ACCIDENTALLY SAVED KEYFRAME POSITIONS
----------------------------------------------
If you save the same keyframe twice, you can correct the problem
by entering the editor, find the extra position with the UP/DOWN
cursor keys, and hit the DELETE key on the extra keyframe. Hit ESC
to continue finding newer positions.
REPLACING BAD KEYFRAME POSITIONS WITH NEWER ONES
------------------------------------------------
Assuming you saved a keyframe position, and later want to replace
it with newly found positions, enter the editor with the motors at
the newer positions. Find the old keyframe with the cursor and hit
the DELETE key to remove it. Now hit the INSERT key to insert the
current positions of the motors where the old positions were.
