Command:HERE (H)
Here command has a slightly different usage on a TGPMT card , then on all our systems.
- Actuators , Piezos, MicroMirror etc

Shortcut H Format HERE [axis]=[position in 1/10 microns]… Units 1/10 microns Type Axis-Specific Remembered Automatically
Assign the specified number to the axis’s current position buffer. If no position is specified, 0 is assumed. The unit of measurement is in tenths of microns. This defines the current position to be a specific distance from the origin (0), i.e., the origin may change.
If there are no errors, the positive reply :A will be sent back from the controller
DOES NOT WORK FOR PIEZOS AND MICROMIRRORS. <del> DOES NOT WORK FOR “CLOCKED DEVICES” SUCH AS FILTER SLIDERS AND TURRETS.</del>
Example
H X=1234 Y=4321 Z :A
The X position will change to 123.4 microns from the origin, Y will change to 432.1 microns, and the Z will be zeroed.
- TGPMT usage

Shortcut H Format HERE [axis]or
HERE [axis]=0Type Axis-Specific Remembered Automatically On a TGPMT card , this command this used to Zero the PMT signal reported by the RDADC command. When this command is issue , the current PMT signal is saved , and the controller begins subtracting it from the current PMT signal. Users can use this as a background subtract or offset feature.
User can cancel the zeroing by issuing
HERE [axis]=0. Readings reported by RDADC command will not be altered anymore.Only the readings reported by the RDADC command are altered. 0-4V Analog PMT signal on the BNC connector is not altered.
This is a card wide-settings , both PMT0 and PMT1's reading are altered.
More details here.
Example
h m :A
If the TGPMT card axis char is m. Saves the current PMTs readings and starts subtracting them from RDADC commands reported readings.
h m=0 :A
If the TGPMT card axis char is m. Clears the saved PMTs readings and stops subtracting them from RDADC commands reported readings.
