The Motor Slider has controls to select an axis, activate an axis,
and position a motor for the selected axis. Each axis consists of a
motor mounted to govern camera movements such as slides, pans, tilts,
etc. Axes may be both selected and active. The Motor Slider allows
users to position a motor for a given axis for editing and curve
creation.
The Motor Slider consists of the following components:
The selected axis may be labeled with descriptive text. When an axis is initially added, it's given a default name. A more descriptive label may be added via the Motor Configuration menu item.
The
Analog Mode button controls how the Motor Slider moves the motor for
the selected axis.
When
the Analog Mode button is pressed, the slider acts like a
joystick,moving the motor of a selected axis one direction or another
depending
on if the control knob is left or right of center. The farther
thecontrol knob is from center, the faster the motor movement.
When the Analog Mode button is not pressed, the slider dictates the motorposition between the calibrated begin and end positions. For example if the control knob is in the center of the slider, this corresponds tothe middle of the calibrated motor position.
The Continuous button allows one to run motors continuously without having to pull the slider handle. For uncalibrated axes, motors will run continuously until stopped. For calibrated axes, motors will run until the end of the calibration range is reached.
The Reversed button changes the direction of the slider handle that represents motor position.
The Slider Control consists of a control knob that users drag left and right to control motor position for the selected axis. To control the position of a given motor, the axis must be selected and active. Axes are selected in the Axis Button Region. A selected axis is made active by enabling the Enable Key Frame button.
The Mark Begin button is the first step in the two step calibration process of a selected axis. The motor is positioned at the target begin location. Pressing the Mark Begin button identifies this position as the begin location of valid motor movement for the selected axis. The Mark Begin button text will change from gray to green once Mark Begin is set. The calibration process requires a Mark End to be complete.
The
Bump Buttons permit coarse and fine control over motor positioning.

The
coarse and fine adjustments of the Bump Buttons may be modified by
changing the adjustment parameters of the window displayed with a
two-fingered tap on the touch pad.
The Mark End button is the second step in the two step calibration process of a selected axis. The motor is positioned at the target end location. Pressing the Mark End button identifies this position as the end location of valid motor movement for the selected axis. The Mark End button changes from gray to green once Mark End is set. With both Mark Begin and Mark End buttons set to green, the calibration process is complete.
The Range section of the Motor Slider allows users to specify the values of the calibration range.
The Range section of the Motor Slider consists of the following:
Position Units - The Position Units field selects the position units displayed by Range Min, Range Max, Current Pos, and Go To. A press on the Position Units arrow opens a list including Degrees, Linear English, Linear Metric, Zoom, and Focus. The choice selected from this list becomes the units displayed by the position field.
Range Min - Range Min displays the minimum value of the motor position. To change this value, press on the Range Min field and enter a new value.
Range Max - Range Max displays the maximum value of the motor position. To change this value, tap on the Range Max field and enter a new value.
Current Pos - Current Pos displays the current motor position. The Current Pos value is read only.
Go To - Go To provides the means to enter a specific motor position.
The Reset Axis button clears the calibration for the selected axis.
A press on the Reset Axis button launches a warning message. If OK is
selected, the calibration for the currently selected axis is cleared,
and must be reset with a new Mark Begin and Mark End sequence.
