Send_Commands

Send_Commands

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA5'"

Puts channel 5 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA6'"

Puts channel 6 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA7'"

Puts channel 7 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA5 ON'"

Puts channel 5 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA6 ON'"

Puts channel 6 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA7 ON'"

Puts channel 7 in delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA5 OFF'"

Takes channel 5 out of delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA6 OFF'"

Takes channel 6 out of delta mode.

 

 

SEND COMMAND AI8,"'DELTA7 OFF'"

Takes channel 7 out of delta mode.

 

 

Delta mode should be used with continuous rotation potentiometers. It effectively filters out the dead zones and provides for smooth, uninterrupted readings.

Inputs are controlled as Channels 1 through 8.

Sample Application

This is an example of Axcess programming that is required before using an AXP-AI8.
