FPF(OPCSDEFS) Optical Printer Control System FPF(OPCSDEFS)
NAME
fpf - configure 'frames per foot' for a shutter motor
SYNOPSIS
fpf [chan] [frames per foot]
EXAMPLE
fpf a 8 # aerial projector is Vistavision (8 frms/ft)
fpf b 16 # main projector is 35mm (16 frms/ft)
fpf c 40 # camera is 16mm (40 frms/ft)
fpf c 0 # disable foot/frames counters for camera (K2.02+)
DESCRIPTION
Sets the number of frames in a foot of film for each axis. This value
is used by the camera/projector counters to calculate for the
feet/frames display, as well as how to interpret expressions
such as cam 12'0.
[chan] is the motor channel being configured.
[frames per foot] may be any integer value that specifies
the number of frames per foot of film. In K2.02 and up, this value
can be '0' to disable the feet/frames counter in the display.
BUGS
In versions older than K2.02, an FPF value of 0 was unsupported
and would blow out the software with a DIVISION BY ZERO error.
Also, floating point values (such as .5) are not valid arguments
for the FPF command.
