Server Presets Described.

[DorinDXN]

To avoid accidents caused by misuse of Server Presets
available via
More from Server in presets list
only 12 presets are available for now,

ring-row;4_Shots_Around.mps
ring-row;6_Shots_Around.mps
row;8_Shots_Around.mps
row;10_Shots_Around.mps
row;12_Shots_Around.mps
row;DAC_8_Shots_3_Rows_Z_N_Level.mps

row;DAC_TEST_1312_Parked.mps
row;DAC_TEST_1313_Level.mps
row;DAC_TEST_1321_Raised.mps

All the presets will be added back, one by one, with proper description and instructions,
where to change something in each one.

Also the above ones will be explained.

The priority will be for the presets with less complexity or more wide use, however, if you miss one particular preset or you requested that preset and didn't downloaded or saved before of simply you want one preset which is not available now,
please ask and that can be either elevate to higher priority or made available through PM

Further more some changes will be made in UI to display that description of the preset after download and before use.

Before you running any presets,
if you have E2 or P1 rotator
please set in
192.168.8.1/config
of any MECHA you have


then [Apply]
this needs o be done once, and mostly is done at factory, but do no harm to check, at least.


The conventions for starting and ending positions, if specified in the preset name, are:

With FW C1E_02097 or newer,
you can turn from Level to Parked and back by pressing
[>] then press quick [2]
or
[<] then press quick [2]
of MECHA-V

you can also use MECHA-H buttons as well for rotating by intervals,

[>] [1] 45°
[>] [2] 90°
[>] [3] 180°
the same intervals for [<] but in the opposite direction
these intervals can be changed in /config if needed

so on MECHA-V [>][3] or [<][3] can be used to rotate from Raised to Parked and back.

6_Shots_Around.mps

the description is close enough for
4_Shots_Around.mps
8_Shots_Around.mps
10_Shots_Around.mps
12_Shots_Around.mps
as well


Suitable for single row panorama, 6 around,

Can be used in the S1 (Simple 1) display level,
in S1 level is only need to select the preset
6_Shots_Around.mps
from list and will be automatically loaded
if you want to change from 6 around to 4 around,
is only need to click on [6 Shots] then select [4 Shots].
to launch the preset click on either [RIGHT] or [LEFT]

If you want info about buttons in UI, please click on [info]

If you want to change some advanced setting of the preset you can switch to A1 (Advanced 1) display level
where you can change, say, the speed from 6 RPM to 9 RPM




Also here you can click on [Save 1] to save this preset to button 1 of MECHA
then you can launch this preset by simply press [1] then [>] (for clockwise rotation)
when MECHA is idle, or press [1] then [<] (for counter-clockwise rotation)

Also you can click on [Save] to save it on MECHA in the preset list with a desired name.

DAC_10_Shots_3_Rows_Z_N_Level.mps

the description is close enough for
DAC_8_Shots_3_Rows_Z_N_Level.mps
DAC_12_Shots_3_Rows_Z_N_Level.mps
as well



Suitable for multi-row panorama, 10 around, for MECHA DAC,

Used in A1-A3 mode
In [A ] levels the presets needs to be selected then click on [Load] to be loaded, or it can be deleted if you want to,
or other operations performed as well, still some are possible only after the preset is saved with [Save] after [Load]

MECHA needs to be in Level starting position
It will shoot three rows of 10 positions each
one at 0 deg of tilt,
one at 45 deg. of tilt
one at -45 deg, of tilt
one Zenith
one Nadir

to change it from 10 positions each to 12 position each is only need to change
from [10 Shots] to [12 Shots]

to change the degrees of tilt for row, say, from 45 deg. to 30 deg.is need to click on
[P-45,45,1:90,-90,0°]

Then click on [Dual]




click [Ok] for letting the ip of 2nd MECHA unchanged,
then edit the list of angles in





P-30,30,1:90,-90,0
then [Ok]

------8<-------------------

This preset use the repeat feature offered by MECHA before the scripting features were added.
the list of angles explained
P is a convention in which tilting is like pitch in PTgui
after first row of 10 or 12 is made just like for a single MECHA
the repeat is called and the list says what changes are for each repeat
for 1st repeat is -35 (2nd MECHA will tilt to -35 deg.)
for 2nd repeat is is 35 (2nd MECHA will tilt to 35 deg.)
then something different
1:
which says from now on is only one position per row,
1:90, says 1 position at 90 tilt,
-90, then at -90 tilt,
then go back to 0 tilt

------8<-------------------


then you can click on [Save 1] to save this preset to button 1 of MECHA-H-DAC
then you can launch this preset by simply press [1] then [>] (for clockwise rotation)
when MECHA is idle or press [1] then [<] (for counter-clockwise rotation)

Also you can click on [Save] to save it on MECHA in the preset list with a desired name.

DAC_14-10-8-6_Shots_7_Rows_2N_2Z_Level.mps

This is a bit intimidating but it works very well, for a pre-scripting era,
why not use it? even though it may look a bit UFO Science



it is very similar with the previous one except it shoots a different number of positions per each row,

it shoots 14 positions on 1st row,
then 10 position at -12 tilt,
then 8 positions at - 45 tilt
then 6 position at -60 tilt
then 10 position at 12 tilt,
then 8 positions at 45 tilt
then 6 position at 60 tilt
then 2 Zeniths each at 90 deg apart
then 2 Nadirs each at 90 deg apart

Here is the science
P10:-12,8:-45,6:-60,10:12,8:45,6:60,2^90:90,2^90:-90,0

after first row of 14 is made just like for a single MECHA
the repeat is called and the list says what changes are for each repeat
10:-12, for 1st repeat says is 10 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to -12 deg.)
8:-45, for 2nd repeat says is 8 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to -45 deg.)
6:-60, for 3rd repeat says is 6 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to -60 deg.)
10:12, then is 10 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to 12 deg.)
8:45, then is 8 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to 45 deg.)
6:60, then is 6 positions from now on (2nd MECHA will tilt to 60 deg.)
now something different,
instead of telling
2:90,
which will say two positions at 90 tilt (which will turn to be at 180° apart which could be good as well)
we say
2^90:90,
which will say two positions at 90° apart for the 90° tilt for i.e. two Nadirs at 90 apart
then the same for two Zeniths.
2^90:-90,
then go back to 0 tilt

Changes can be made to this presets as well,

if you want more rows you need to change the numbers of repeats as well by click on Repeat and
enter, at custom, 10*1 instead of 8*1 if two more rows are added, say we want another two rows
at -70 made of 4 positions each

P10:-12,8:-45,6:-60,4:-70,10:12,8:45,6:60,4:70,2^90:90,2^90:-90,0
If we want the order of rows to be changed their position in the list of angles can be adjusted,
e.g. with positive the tilts first
P10:12,8:45,6:60,4:70,10:-12,8:-45,6:-60,4:-70,2^90:-90,2^90:90,0
again, the repeat must be set at [Repeat 10*1 sec]
if for some reasons want more seconds between rows it can be sat at [Repeat 10*5], say for 5 seconds.

also the number of positions can be changed as well, say
P12:12,10:45,8:60,6:70,12:-12,10:-45,8:-60,6:-70,2^90:-90,2^90:90,0



then you can click on [Save 1] to save this preset to button 1 of MECHA-H-DAC
then you can launch this preset by simply press [1] then [>] (for clockwise rotation)
when MECHA is idle or press [1] then [<] (for counter-clockwise rotation)

Also you can click on [Save] to save it on MECHA in the preset list with a desired name.
