Tuner Menu

The Tuner menu groups functions related to the Tuner operation. The menu items include:

View

Shows/hides the Tuner View window.

All Home

Triggers the motor initialization routine.

Autotune

The Autotune submenu enables the user to:

  • Switch autotuning ON and OFF (submenu item Active). Alternatively, use the Tuner View window for more convenient access.

  • Set the parameters controlling the autotuning process. These settings can be adjusted more conveniently in the Autotune page of the System Info window; that topic also describes each parameter in detail.

Read

Clicking the Read menu item (or the equivalent sbReadStubs button in the Tuner View window) commands HomSoft to query the Homer for the current positions of the tuning stubs.

Scenario

Clicking the Scenario menu item (or the equivalent sbScenar button in Tuner View window) opens the Scenario dialog window. The dialog enables the user to enter, save, load and run sequences of predefined stub positions with a specified dwell time for each position.

Motors Refresh

Define the minimum interval in milliseconds between two consecutive motor position messages sent by the Homer Autotuner. Note that in addition to these regular messages, motor positions are sent as part of Homer measurement results encoded in Measurement Data Objects (MDO).
