Figure 67: Message Inputs4

Input bits can be used to cause a message output. The selected bit must be activated to send the defined message by the Active check box. The message appears if the selected bit is either high (H) or low (L) according to the selected radio button. An error or a warning message is displayed in the message view dialog as well as in the status bar. If Hide MsgView is activated, the message view is invisible.

Dropdown menu: Choose input bit, status or additional warnings from the list.

▪RTC: 0 .. 15 (Extension 1 connector, Digital_In 0 .. 15)

▪USC: 3 .. 6 (37-pin connector, Opto_In2 .. 5) & 7 .. 16 (Extension connector, Digi_In0 .. 9, USC-2/-3)

▪USC-2/-3: Status #0 .. #19: These status bits refer to the 20-bit word of the XY2-100 feedback (always X-Channel of Head0) from the scan head. The user may define a unique message / error for any of these bits.

▪Error warning info: These warnings can be reset in the status bar.

•Out of data with laser on (OD) is set when a buffer underrun occurred.

•Out of field (OF) is set when a position overflow (head specific optic matrix, MOTF, Analog In, USC-3 Wobble) occurred.

•Overflow MOTF offset (OM) is set when a MOTF offset is reached too early (e.g. still marking).
