Motion Device Related Arrays and Objects¶

motionDevices array¶

This array list the motion devices used to move the probe(s) over the specimen.

Property	Type	Description
id `required`	integer	The unique motion device id in the JSON structure referenced in `dimensions` array of discreteGrid object
name	string	Name of the motion device
encoder `required`	object	An encoder object

Related objects: discreteGrid, UCoordinate, VCoordinate

encoder object¶

This object describes a generic encoder used to register the position of a motion device.

Property	Type	Unit	Description
serialNumber	string	-	The serial number of the encoder
mode `required`	string	-	One of the following encoder pulse mode used for recording the position: `Quadrature`,`ClockDir`,`PulseUp`,`PulseDown`
stepResolution `required`	number	step/m	Resolution of the encoder
preset	number	-	Preset value
