MX2 Main Screen

The Main Screen

 

The Main Screen provides an overview of the current status and also allows for quick modification of key operating parameters.  This screen has the following layout:

-----------------
On 3s       [15]

R30.50%   L0.00%
-----------------

On the first line we have the current status (On or Off), the intervalometer timing (3s), and a count of shots fired since turned on ([15]).  The second line displays the direction and speed for each motor, with motor 1 on the left, and motor 2 on the right.

 

Pressing the Right pushbutton will advance through the values that can be changed directly from the main screen: status, timing, direction and speed of each motor.  When a particular value is displayed with a flashing cursor on it, you can change the value using the Up and Down pushbuttons.  

Notes:

  • You may change any value when the shoot is running -- it will take effect immediately.
  • Motor speed can be displayed in either percentage (%) or inches-per-minute (ipm), this is configurable in the Settings menu.
  • Pressing Left pushbutton will back up one setting on the screen
  • Pressing Enter at any time when on the main screen will bring up the Main Menu, even if program is running
