abort
Description Sends an unconditional abort to all subsystems. The drum, carriage, autoloader, andall other moving subsystems are stopped.
Brings the recorder to an idle, safe state as soon as possible.
This command is similar to pressing the abort switch. The difference is that the abortswitch must be released before the recorder will restart, whereas after the abortcommand is entered, the recorder is ready to restart as soon as all subsystems havefinished aborting.
The carriage subsystem loses track of its position after an abort, and will bereinitialized immediately prior to the next move to a specific position.
act
Description Manipulates a number of actuator outputs. These are direct means of switching onand off various outputs for the control of solenoids and other various devices on thesatellite board(s). Note that this command is designed for diagnostic purposes only,and not for the regular control of the various air cylinders. Thus there are comecylinder which require two separate "act" commands before it will move. Use theother "mid-level" diagnostic commands for safely moving individual cylinders.
When no parameters are given, a listing of the available outputs and a littledescription of each one is displayed.
CAUTION: These are "low level" commands, meaning that there are no safetychecks done by the firmware before the command is executed.
act aknife
Description Turns the unloading-assistance air knife on or off. This is only used on VLFTrendsetters equipped with the film option, and blows air under the film as it isunloading so as to lift it up onto the load/unload table.

cal picker
Description This is a service command routine to semi automate setting up the following nvsthresholds: val ssvth, val pvth, media x sst.
Cal picker may only be run from the monitor when there are no jobs in the systemand PrintConsole is shut down and an ale init has been done and the desired mediaalready set up in the current bay. Cal Picker is a combined execution of cal pvth, calssvth and cal sst. Cal Picker will operate with minimal error checking.
First make sure that the current bay is properly loaded with the media and slipsheetconfiguration that you want to calibrate for. (plate on top and slipsheet betweeneach plate). Check set state bay <x> sst is 1 if slipsheets are loaded.
Cal Picker will open the cassette door and move the picker into the bay, take areading of the plate surface (for the picker slipsheet sensor), then lift the plate andtake a reading of the slipsheet between the plates. It will then grab the slipsheet andtake vacuum readings. Then it will transfer the plate to the picker vacuum cups andtake vacuum readings. When it is done it will back out and leave the plateuntouched and save the new media X sst, val pvth and val ssvth

cal pressure
Description 1 Used to set the system pressure according to the internal pressure sensors.
2 Used to set the calibration factor of internal pressure sensors.
3 Use to test the customer air supply.
4 Used to cross calibrate sensors.
1) Cal pressure will instruct the user to turn off the system air pressure at the filterregulator unit, when it has sensed the pressure low and stable it takes a reading ofthe sensor zero pressure value and this becomes the offset saved in al aoff [] array.The user is then asked to turn the pressure on and adjust it down to 3 psi lower thatthe set point. This is because a regulator must always be set by adjusting upwardsand never backed off, to achieve accuracy. The user is then asked to increase thepressure slowly until the pressure reaches the set point for the machine, at whichpoint the instruction will change from "adjust up" to "HOLD". The firmware will thencheck that the pressure is stable and within tollerance. Machines with a beeper willbeep faster as you approach the ideal set point and then stop beeping.
The set point for TSVLF AL is 84 psi and the customer machine spec into themachine is 90 psi (621 KPa) at the same time as 20 cfm (66 l/m) is flowing.
Cal Pressure sensor: For Autoloader.
2) New method using Omega pressure transducer. This is a startup command andrequires a service tool 90-1189A. This tool must be marked with a calibration code.Connect Omega calibrated pressure transducer to J3 of Picker Genine.
This is a startup command and requires a precision digital pressure meter which isused to calibrate the main (ese) and picker pressure sensors (TSVLF AL).Uncalibrated sensors may be up to 5 psi out. If a pressure sensor is replaced or aGenine is replaced (TSVLF AL) then it may be neccessary to recalibrate one or bothsensors.
Sensor or board replacement. & Cross calibrating sensors.
Applies mainly to (TSVLF AL). If a machine was running with main and pickerpressure sensors and either a sensor or picker genine gets replaced then it ispossible to calibrate the new sensor to match the remaining sensor, assuming thatthe remaining one is still accurate. (It is preferable to check this with a digitalpressure meter) or Omeger transducer. 'cal pressure sensor picker [password]' willadjust the picker sensor scale factor so that it reads the same as the main sensor.Use this when replacing the picker pressure sensor or picker genine. 'cal pressuresensor main [password]' will adjust the main sensor scale factor so that the mainsreads the same as the picker. Use this when replacing the main sensor or enginesatellite board.
3) A rough test of the adaquicy of he customer's air supply can be done using calpressure flow on/off. This will bleed air at approx 20 cfm but anyway at the peakflow required by that specific machine and firmware. The machine must be fitte witha gauge BEFORE the regulator. You must read at least 90 psi all the time for 2-3minutes while cal pressure flow is on. Try this several times through out the shift orfor a longer period of time.

clear
Description Use this to tell the autoloader system to not bother trying that last part of whatevercommand it was working on before it got an error and suspended. In other words, to"clear" from the current command. This command will only do something if theautoloader is indeed suspended.
Note that this command also will work if the autoloader suspended during aworkstation-directed image, but if you do this then the workstation will still think therecorder is suspended, and the two will get out of sync with each other (i.e. one ofthe two will get really confused, and at least either the recorder or workstation willhave to be reset before things can continue normally).
For 3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader only, starting at V1.30:
The pick/load steps have been separated from the unload/process steps. An extraparameter can be used to specify which plate has been removed. On diagnosticcommands, all plate-handling errors will include a message "ALE expected suspendresponses" or "TABLE expected suspend responses". This indicates whether the aletask (controls picking and loading) or the table task (controls unloading andprocessing) has been suspended. The parameters "ale" or "table" can now beappended to the clear command for extra clarity:
clear ale ......... indicates that the plate being picked or loaded has been removed.
clear table ...... indicates that the plate being unloaded or processed has beenremoved.
If both tasks are suspended and clear is entered, the firmware will request thateither clear ale or clear table be entered.

drum cal
Description This command is available starting at version 1.09 of the drum software module. Thepurpose of this command is to calculate and put into effect a correction offset thatwill compensate for dead-band drift within the drive amp (in certain specific cases).
This command applies a torque ramp to the drum and measures the point at whichmovement occurs. If that value of torque is above the drum friction (dfrict) then itsets the deadband offset (doff) to the measured value minus dfrict.
The nvs needs to be saved to make the value permanent. The torque numbersdisplayed & dfrict & doff are all in half-microseconds (which is proportional totorque.)
On drum module 1.11 and older, if the current value of doff is greater that zero thendoff is not updated by drum cal. Manually set doff to zero if required.
Encoder Required: For this command to function a working encoder is requiredincluding the index pulse.
The torque numbers displayed & dfrict & doff are all in half-microseconds (which isproportional to torque.)
See procedure to set dfrict, under nvs dfrict on the nvs page.
Notes This command is available only in drum module versions 1.09 and greater.
Before actual drum calibration is attempted, the DRUM CAL command tries to getthe drum to "settle". This is done by releasing the dynamic break and setting thedrum drive zero. Depending on the condition of the drum amplifier, one of thefollowing three things can occur:
a. The drum will turn slightly then stop (i.e. reach equilibrium)
b. The drum will continue to turn slowly for an indefinite time
c. The drum will accelerate
Case 1 is usual. The calibration attempt will proceed normally after this. Case 2 and3 are error conditions. In these cases the dynamic break will be applied and thecalibration will fail because the drum wont settle. This may be as result of negativedeadband in the drum amplifier. Case 2 occurs if the drum does not stop withinabout 15 seconds. Case 3 occurs if the speed of the drum becomes greater than 30RPM.

drum tick
Description measures the tick width by spinning the drum at (4 rpm) (8 rpm for VLF) and timingthe passage of each tick. A listing of the location, and % error and % relative error isgenerated for the first 100 ticks outside of the error threshold selected.
<threshold> is a number in % of the ideal tick width. If too many errors occur thenthe buffer will overflow and the command will quit or auto restart with a higherthreshold. Use a higher threshold and only the errors that are more than thethreshold will be printed.
Typically, on PS3244, they are all within 6% for a clean disc and >15% at dirty spotson the disc.
On TS news (Heidenhain encoder) you can get maximum error of < 5% - 7% tickwidth error.
VLF drums must be fairly well balanced for this command to work. Turn off thepower and move the balance weights and/or TEC till the drum is balanced. A goodstarting point is TEC's parked and balance weights both on the opposite side to theTEC/LEC.
Typically, on VLF, errors are < 14%, but the absolute max permissable is 18% whichis probably a defect in the disc.
Separate pid parameters are used for the slow speed spin, these must be optomisedor else the error discrepancies will excede 10% even for a perfect and clean discbecause it is actually the drum speed which is changing not the tick width which is inerror.
Relative error is the % deviation of a tick width relative to the preceding 100 ticks.This reduces any effects caused by jitter in the drum velocity.
TICK <INDEX>
"Tick index" will spin the drum at 4 rpm and check the index pulse width and verycarefully check that the counter does not over count or under count just before theindex.
TICK < SA | SB | SI | PHASE >
These will all spin the drum at 20 rpm and continuously print out data. SA and SBwill print the SA and SB duty cycle in % (should be 50%), SI will print the deviationof the SI pulse width from ideal in %, (should be 0% +/- 10% is the absolute limit),PHASE will print out the phase angle in degrees between TachA and TachB (shouldbe 90 degrees. This is set on Creo encoders by moving the position of the encodeblock and requires an oscilloscope.)

Kodak Confidential
Notes To find a dirt spot on the disc, run "drum tick x" starting at 6 for 3244 and 18 forVLF, Repeat the command with different x until you get 5 - 20 errors. Pick the worstone and type "drum move xxxxx h" where xxxxx is the position of the largest error.Mark the drum (a piece of masking tape works well) exactly in line with the encoderlaser (which is approx in line with the red led on the encoder). Idle the drum (flyoffsaves you walking), then clean the disc in the general area of your mark on thedrum. Repeat for every position where the error is greater than 8% (3244) or 14%(VLF - this is not ideal but passable)
On PS3244 with a really clean disc, you can get a maximum absolute error of <5%tick width error and relative error of <3%.
On TS news (Heidenhain encoder) you can get maximum error of < 4% - 6%absolute tick width error. ( This error is probably mainly caused by the drum controlPID which has to be perfectly steady to get accurate results).
On a '"not quite clean enough'" VLF disc the errors were >25% On VLF, the encoderdiscs are still quite bad. Using the same VLF (VE448) that had been cleaned, thebest I could get was 16%, and there turned out to be a defect in the disc at everysingle place where the error was > 11% (The ones at 11% were very small, the onesat 18% were quite easily visible they measured 180um)

b. Loaded - number of times the bay has been loaded (not including opened) ("setstate bstats ld")
c. Opened - total number of times the bay has been opened (not including loaded)("set state bstats op")
d. Opened Susp - number of times the bay has been opened while the picker issuspended on the bay ("set state bstats opns")
e. Exposure Changed - number of times the bay's exposure has been actuallychanged, the new exposure is different than the old one ("set state bstats ec")
a. Pre-Img Faults - total number of errors while picking and loading ("set statebstats pif")
b. Bay Opened Faults - number of errors while picking and loading a bay that hasjust been opened ("set state bstats pib")
c. Img Faults - number of errors that have occured after plate loading and beforeunloading, i.e. edge detection, stroke flattening, imaging, etc. ("set state bstatsif")
d. Post-Img Faults - number of errors while unloading and ejecting to processor.Note that faults occuring once the plate has entered the processor will not becounted. ("set state bstats aif")

load
Description Manually loads a plate onto the drum. There are three basic ways to enter thiscommand:
a. "load" will assume the plate is the same size as what was last on the drum.
b. "load <msz>" will take the given plate height around the drum (msz, inmillimetres) and load a plate that size. Since the size has now changed, it will alsoset the plate width in "plate_loc d" to zero.
c. "load <msz> <ssz>" will take the given plate height around the drum (msz, inmillimetres) and load a plate that size. The given plate width in <ssz> will be putinto "plate_loc d ssz" for convenience only, it is not needed for actually loadingthe plate.
The edge detect position in "plate_loc d" is also reset if the plate size is different thatwhat was last on the drum.
An additional parameter, "cal", may be added to the end of any load command toforce the automatic calibration of the "al stl" (sensor_to_le) parameter, which isused to measure the plate height. Normally the plate size is verified during a loadcommand by using the table plate sensor and the "al stl" parameter. But when youadd the "cal" to the command, you are telling the firmware to trust that the platesize given is identical to the physical plate size, and to set the parameteraccordingly. Make sure the carriage is not moving at the time, and the headparameters are not being loaded, or the calibration will be inaccurate because ofpossible internal firmware latency delays. It is also a good idea to use a plate sizebetween 600 and 1100 mm, so the plate edge is not detected during drumacceleration or deceleration.

mask
Description The MPE maintains a set of status flags derived from various hardware fault detects.These flags indicate such things as proper installation of cables and functioningpower supplies.
Displays a list of all the status flags. The ! character beside a status flag indicatesthat there is a problem with the corresponding component (e.g. missing cable). The* character beside a status flag indicates that the flag has been masked. Note thathyphenated acronyms generally refer to cable detects (e.g. HA-BP).
If one of these components suffers a detectable fault, the corresponding status flagwill cause the system to report an error.
If multiple related faults exist, internal diagnostics will determine which is the truecause and report only that error.
The mask command provides the facilities for determining the state of these flagsand for disabling or masking a flag.
If a status flag is masked, a problem with the corresponding component will not bedetected directly. This can be used to stifle error messages in an incomplete system.
See Also ● mask on on page 54● mask off on page 53
mask off
Description If the off option is used, the mask for the specified <flag> will be removed. Multipleflags may be specified.
It is not possible to mask off the door and abort flags (1 and 2) for safety reasons.

mask 53
Kodak Confidential
mask on
Description The status flag corresponding to the listed <flag> number will be masked.
Masking a flag means that even if there is a problem with the component, no errorwill be reported directly.
Multiple flags may be specified in one command.Masking a status flag may result inthe root cause of an error being disguised. For example, if the carriage motor cable isdisconnected and the CM-BP (Carriage Motor to Backplane cable) flag is masked,the carriage will not respond, but the true cause of the problem will not be reportedin an error message.

mode
Description Displays or changes the mode or media type.
Different image resolutions are supported through the use of the plot modeparameters in NVS (set mode <mode_#>). This subsystem is indexed becausemultiple resolutions can be supported.
Under normal circumstances, the workstation provides the image data and specifiesthe resolution at which each image is to be exposed. The recorder uses thisresolution to determine which of the mode parameter tables to use.
Mode
For many of the imaging-related functions which can be performed from theDiagnostic Monitor, a default diagnostic mode (i.e. resolution) is used. Changing thediagnostic mode will have no effect on images coming from the workstation.
Media
Different media types are supported by the Media Types subsystem in NVS (setmedia <media_#>). This subsystem is indexed so that multiple media types can besupported. This will have no effect on images coming from the workstation.

nvs
Description The NVS command provides facilities for the maintenance of the NVS device.
Active parameters can be saved to NVS or restored from NVS. Saved parameterscan be initialized to "-DFLT-". The set command provides the facilities for examiningand changing active parameter values.
The MPE is equipped with an NVS device in which a variety of calibration andconfiguration parameters are stored. The contents of the NVS are separated intosubsystems, each of which consists of calibration and configuration parameters.Some subsystems have more than one set of calibration and configurationparameters. In such cases, index numbers are used to refer to the different sets in asubsystem.
There are "active", "saved", and "default" parameters:
a. "active" parameters are those values currently in use and are stored in volatilememory. Any change to the active parameters will be lost after the next reset orpower cycle unless they are first saved.
b. "saved" parameters are those which reside in NVS. Upon reset or power up, thesaved parameter values are copied into the active parameters. The savedparameters are never used directly.
c. For parameters which have never been saved to NVS, the saved value will bedisplayed as "-DFLT-". In such cases, the active parameter is copied from itscorresponding default parameter. The default parameters are stored togetherwith the MPE firmware and cannot be changed.

plot headtest
Description Initiates a command to initialize the head and pll into a plot mode without movingthe carriage. This command is used so that the system can be setup to give all thetiming and sclks as if an image were running, but without actually sending an imageor moving the carriage. Typically it is used to test the focus servo or test and setupfocus with a new media. When running in headtest mode, one can dwell for as longas desired under the operating conditions used. To change operating conditions, justterminate the command and change things and re-start it. Using the older method of"drum spin" "pll on" does not set up the image timing conditions or changes to thatsetup, whereas "plot headtest" does.
Notes For the MPE as the host do: "drum spin" wait for it to finish, then "plot headtest".Note that, currently, the head will not be completely setup, and you will need toissue a system level "focus on" followed by "focus off" to complete the setup of allthe paramteres in the head. In some cases the focus on/off toggle is undesireableand there is an open action to have "plot headtest" do the complete setup of thehead (see bugbase #1828). To stop do: "plot stop" "drum idle".
For the MCE as the host do: "plot headtest". The command will spin the drum. Tostop do: "plot stop".
plot on
Description Enable or disable the PLL tracking.
This command should not be used when actual plotting is taking place. Thiscommand is very useful to determine if the PLL will lock to the spinning drum whileimaging. The advantage to using the command "plot on" is you don't have to image(and waste) media to test the PLL tracking.
To test the PLL tracking, do the following:
a. With a plate on the drum, type the command "drum spin"
b. After the command "drum spin" command completes, type the command "ploton".
c. Monitor the pattern of the PLL lamps on the MPE. If tracking is normal, the centretwo lamps are lit most of the time, and as the drum rotation changes, theselamps oscillate with the drum between the 10 lamps to show how well the PLL istracking. If all the lamps stop changing and only one is lit, that is an indicationthat the PLL was lost.
d. To disable the PLL tracking, type the command "plot off".

Description Displays or writes a word to a map_name in the MPE memory map. Valid<map_name> are lower case identifiers determined using the list map command. Alocation within a map_name is specified by a hexadecimal address (ie. first locationin a map_name is address 0).
TO BE USED BY DEVELOPERS ONLY
CAUTION: Accessing memory-mapped I/O or otherwise illegal locations can haveunpredictable results including causing a general exception.
<hex_address> is a number strictly interpreted as a hexadecimal integer.
If <hex_address> is not specified, it defaults to 0.
<map_name> is a lower case identifier.
If <map_name> is not specified, it defaults to the last map_name used with a pb, pw,or pl command.

Description Send RESUME command to the specified suspended autoloading task (ALCommand, AL Cassette or AL Conveyor). If no task is specified, the RESUME is sentto all suspended tasks.
See Also ● Command: clear
resume
Description Use this to tell the autoloader system to resume, or try again, that last part ofwhatever command it was working on before it got an error and suspended. Thiscommand will only do something if the autoloader is indeed suspended.
Note that this command will also work if the autoloader suspended during aworkstation-directed image, but if you do this then the workstation will still think therecorder is suspended, and the two will get out of sync with each other (i.e. one ofthe two will get really confused, and at least either the recorder or workstation willhave to be reset before things can continue normally).
For 3230/3244 Trendsetter Autoloader only, starting at V1.30:
The pick/load steps have been separated from the unload/process steps. An extraparameter can be used to specify which step to resume. On diagnostic commands,all plate-handling errors will include a message "ALE expected suspend responses"or "TABLE expected suspend responses". This indicates whether the ale task(controls picking and loading) or the table task (controls unloading and processing)has been suspended. The parameters "ale" or "table" can now be appended to theresume command for extra clarity:
resume ale ........ tells the firmware to try and continue picking or loading.
resume table ..... tells the firmware to try and continue unloading or processing.
If both tasks are suspended and resume (without the ale/table parameter) isentered, then both operations will try to resume.

scsi negotiate
Description This command configures the driver on a per-initiator basis to either initiatenegotiation of the SCSI data path with a given initiator according to the currentsettings of the wide and synch flags, or to wait for the initiator to initiate data pathnegotiation.
If bit N of the flag parameter passed to this command is set to 1, then the driver willinitiate data path negotiation with intiator N at its first opportunity, if the initiatordoes not do so first. If it is set to 0, then it will wait for the initiator to startnegotiation. The settings are not saved to NVS RAM and will be lost at the nextreset.
The default is to initiate negotiation with each initiator
See Also ● scsi on page 74
scsi plot
Description This command enables or disables the acceptance of data via SCSI PRINTcommands.
If enabled, the driver will accept the data from SCSI PRINT commands until atransfer of 512 bytes is initiated; the 512 bytes are not transfered, and further SCSIPRINT commands are terminated with CHECK CONDITION without transferingdata until this flag is enabled again.

scsi synch
Description This command configures the driver to negotiate for synchronous or asynchronousSCSI transfers on a per-initiator basis.
If bit N of the flag parameter passed to this command is set to 1, then the driver willnegotiate for synchronous SCSI with initiator N; if it is set to 0, then it will negotiatefor asynchonous SCSI that initiator. The settings are not saved to NVS RAM and willbe lost at the next reset.
The default is to negotiate for synchronous SCSI with each initiator
See Also ● scsi on page 74
scsi test
Description This command can be used for various SCSI driver diagnostics, as follows:
a. regs: the driver will reset the chip and then start to test all registers that are bothreadable and writeable by writing an incrementing byte to each and reading itback; errors are reported; each time that the test byte has cycled from 0 to 255with no errors, a status message is printed; attempts to initialize the SCSI driverare ignored until this test is turned off.
b. data: the driver enters non wide and asynchronous SCSI mode and will then startto test each byte transfered via SCSI PRINT commands; it expects anincrementing data pattern, and it will report errors if there are mismatches;actually, currently it reports errors even if the data is incrementing, so it isn't avery useful test now...; the program SCSIINC.EXE on the workstation can be usedfor this test and is typically found in e:\\c3244\\bin\\alpha
c. plot: the driver will automatically turn the plot flag on again after each plot, sothat the workstation can send a series of plots to a bit bucket chip in order to testtransfer rates; normally the plot flag is turned off after every plot when the 512transfer is requested
d. size: the driver will print out the transfer size requested in SCSI PRINTcommands; it will miss some of the SCSI PRINT commands, so the list of printedresults do not reflect every SCSI transfer
e. off: the driver turns off any SCSI tests and reinitializes itself

Service Information The workstation sends a "watchdog" command at regular intervals to testthe serial interface to the recorder. If the time between these watchdogcommands is too great, this error is reported every 30 seconds until anotherwatchdog command is received.

Service Information The calibration parameters saved on the MPE for the specified subsystemare un-initialized or corrupted. Except when a subsystem has been loadedsuccessfully from the head, default values have been loaded into all thesubsystem's active calibration parameters.
Since all subsystems are normally initialized when a recorder is integrated,this error should not occur during normal operation, except possibly duringfirmware upgrades.
The firmware determines whether a subsystem's parameters are valid orcorrupt with a checksum "hidden" at the end of each subsystem's calibrationand configuration block. A corrupt checksum is corrected when a subsystemis initialized using "nvs init all|(<subsys> cal|cfg)", or saved using "nvs saveall|(<subsys> [cal|cfg])".
If firmware has been downloaded recently, this error could be due to anincomplete upgrade (or downgrade) procedure and can be safely ignoreduntil the upgrade is complete. Note that the "nvs upgrade" command shouldnot be used more than once per upgrade. Therefore, if you are uncertainwhether or not the upgrade command has been issued since the download, itis safer not to use it.
If no upgrade is in progress, the cause of the NVS corruption should bedetermined. Inspect the "Saved" column of the subsystem's calibrationparameters:
a. If most or all of the saved values are unreasonable, then the subsystemhas
b. If most or all of the save values appear reasonable, then a more seriouscause
No matter what the cause of this error, and unless the "nvs upgrade"command can be used safely, the best approach is to restore the subsystemfrom the most recent NVS dump file. Find the subsystem and enter theparameter values listed there. If the either the "Saved values no different thandefaults" or "Unitialized section, defaults always loaded" message appearsunder the subsystem heading, no values need be entered. In all cases, thesubsystem can then be saved with "nvs save <subsys> cal".
Note that if a large number of "checksum error" message(s) are reportedafter an "fload memory" command has been used to restore NVS, thefirmware version used to make the backup file and the current firmwareversion are possibly incompatible. If a more recent backup file is not available(preferably one made with "nvs dump ..."), the firmware should bedowngraded to the version used to make the backup file.

Cause The error may be due to several factors, either the drum is really not reaching velocity, orthe encoder or Hall effect sensors (in the motor), are missreading the drum speed forsome reason. This message is reported in 5 different places in the code:
Cause 1. If, during drum init, the drum does not reach velocity within the hall_mode_timeout (7sec (12 sec VLFs))
Cause 2. If, after a <drum spin xx> (i.e. controlling speed in encoder mode) the drum does notreach velocity the within a calculated timeout based on acceleration and final velocity.
Cause 3. If, during a dynamic braking (regenerative load only) the drum takes more than 10seconds to stop.

Error Message DRUM: Timeout waiting for TPU hall sensor PW measurement
Service Information This error indicates that it took too long for the firmware to see any pulsescoming out of the drum motor's hall sensors. Remember that there are twomethods to measure the drum speed: the encoder disk on the side of thedrum, and the Hall effect sensors mounted inside the drum motor. The Hallsensors are only used to verify the encoder operation for safety reasons, sothis error message will only show up during machine initialization or certaindiagnostic commands.
Either the drum never turned enough to get a hall speed measurement, orthere is a problem with the measurement circuit itself. Incorrect drum NVSparameters, mechanical blockage, or a faulty drum drive amplifier could allprevent the drum, from turning. A faulty drum motor, cables, drum driveamplifier, or MPE board or cabling between these (even back plane) couldprevent the hall speed from being measured.
Operator Action There is a problem with the drum motor and/or drive mechanism. It isprobably an intermittent problem, and should only show up during machineinitialization shortly after the machine has been powered up.
Click on RESUME to try initializing the system again.
Make sure that the clamps are all in their appropriate positions and thatthere are no obstructions to drum rotation.
Cause Incorrect drum NVS parameters. Make sure all the drum gain parameters (prop_gain_vel,integ_gain_vel, etc.) are all equal to, or very close to, their defaults.
Cause Mechanical blockage preventing drum rotation.
Cause Fuse blown or power supply failure. NOTE: there are 2 sources of power into the drumamp, one powers the logic (if any led inside the drum amp are on then that one is okay).The other provides power to the motor drive circuitry. There is no visible indication thatthis power is good or bad, except that the drum will not even attempt to move, bump, ormake any sound when you type 'drum init'. Measure Logic power on pins J1-1 & J1-2 andMotor power on J1-3 & J1-4.
Cause Loose cables anywhere in the drum system. Any of the cables to the drum or drumamplifier could cause this error. Most commonly the hall sensor cable from the motor toJ3 on the drive amp, the ribon cable from J2 on the drive amp to J6 on the backplane, or(newer systems) the 5V power into J3 on the drive amp.
Cause Faulty drum amplifier. See the "Drum Drive Amplifier Troubleshooting Guide" for moreinformation.

IF THE HOME SWITCH IS TRIPPED:
Try a "carriage away" ("x") command.
If the carriage moved but it's still on the switch, repeat the "carriage away"command until it's off the switch. Once off the switch, operation shouldreturn to normal.
If the carriage did not move, check the red "CM LIMIT" LED on the ALE boardand/or the red "LIMIT" LED on the HOME/AWAY board. If they are lit:Check whether the carriage LIMIT switch is tripped (the LIMIT switch is theoptical interrupter beside the HOME switch toward the inside of the board).If the switch is tripped, then the carriage must be moved off this switch byrotating the leadscrew by hand. If the switch is not tripped, there must be aproblem with either the HOME/AWAY board, the HA-BP cable, or the ALE.
If the carriage did not move and the LIMIT lights are not lit, then there is aproblem with the carriage drive hardware. Check the following:
a. carriage drive high voltage supply (all carriage drives currently use80VDC)
b. leadscrew motor to backplane cables (CM-BP)
c. leadscrew belt
d. leadscrew coupling setscrew
e. binding of the leadscrew
If no problem is detected, carriage electrical hardware should be swappeduntil a defective one is found, i.e. ALE, leadscrew motor, cables.

Error Message CARRIAGE: unexpectedly arrived at HOME position
7003 149
Kodak Confidential
Service Information The carriage HOME switch was tripped unexpectedly. The HOME switch isused as the reference point for all carriage movement except when imaging(the plate edge is used then). Carriage movement is made "open loop" bycounting motor rotations, there is no direct positional feedback. Therefore ifthe carriage stalls, positional accuracy is lost and the carriage may rununexpectedly into its limits of travel, the HOME or AWAY switch. Note thatif the carriage stalls while imaging, only the current plate will be ruined. Thelack of positional accuracy will be corrected when the edge of the next plateis searched, since the carriage will be re-initialized if searching isunsuccessful after the first two attempts.
The firmware is designed to recover automatically from this error. However,the cause of this error must be investigated because it may indicate amechanical problem.
If this error occured when the carriage was moving home at the end of animage, it is likely that the carriage stalled while imaging. The imaged plateshould be inspected for artifacts. Look for dark bands where the carriagestalled, or places where the image is "compressed". Another image can beattempted, preferably one with many asynchronous retraces, and theleadscrew watched. Watch particularily where the carriage starts and stopswhile it waits for the RIP. If any stalling is detected, check the leadscrew forbinding and the leadscrew hanger for alignment. Also check the followingNVS parameters for correct settings: "set carriage pgain" "set carriagemgain" "set carriage again"
These can be temporarily increased from their factory settings if it helps theproblem. However this may lead to over-heating the carriage motor so thereal cause of the problem should be found. If there is no problem detectedwith the leadscrew or NVS parameters, the motor or ALE may be at fault.However, check the carriage drive voltages (all carriage drives currently use80VDC) before swapping these.
If this error occured while the carriage was moving in the "away" direction(like when imaging, etc) or the carriage stopped along way from HOME,suspect that a false HOME signal caused the error. This is likely due to eithera foreign object tripping the HOME switch, a faulty HOME/AWAY board, ora faulty or loose HA-BP cable. Check for any slip sheets, loose head wires,cable ties, etc in the vicinity of the HOME/AWAY board. If none aredetected, move the carriage back and forth ("carriage away" or "x" and then"carriage home" or "w") to see if the error can be replicated by flexing thecable track.
If the error occured at the beginning of an image (while searching for anedge, positioning, etc), the error may be due to a bug in earlier versions offirmware that allowed incorrect NVS settings of "carriage cph" to cause thiserror. Check that this parameter is set correctly.

This error is also reported if the "carriage move"command moves the carriage to the AWAY switch.
If this error is occurs while imaging, the likely cause is incorrectly sized orpositioned image data. Check that the actual plate size matches the platesize entered at the workstation.

"set gc sss", check with integrators for correct setting
"set gc sssa", check with integrators for correct setting
"set mode <N> sssa", which should normally be 0.
It is also possible that the carriage stalled while performing asynchronousretraces (when waiting for the RIP). The imaged plate should be inspectedfor artifacts.

Service Information A "worst case" time to complete is calculated for all carriage moveoperations. If the move operation is not completed by this time, the"operation timed out" error is reported. The maximum time allowed to moveis:
timeout = 1.5 * distance to move / carriage speed
If this error is reported when performing a "carriage home" or "carriageaway" (i.e. retrace during normal operation), most likely the HOME/AWAY(HA) hardware failed or the carriage has stalled. In the case of a HAhardware failure, the carriage will be jammed at either the home or awaymechanical limit. The alignment of the HOME/AWAY board should bechecked along with the cable. If these appear ok, the HOME/AWAY boardshould be replaced and re-aligned. Note that if it is jammed at one of themechanical limits, the carriage will have to be moved past the HOME orAWAY switch by manually turning the leadscrew.
If the carriage is stalling before reaching the mechanical limits, the tightnessof the leadscrew nut setscrew should be checked. The leadscrew motor andbelt should also be checked. The ALE can be swapped, as can the carriagedrive board (Trendsetter only).
If this error is reported when performing a "carriage moveto <position><speed>" command, there are 2 known firmware problems that may be thecause:
1) In versions prior to 2.0, the timeout was calculated using the defaultmaximum speed instead of the specified speed. The only workaround is touse a speed greater than 2/3's the default speed.
2) If it takes the carriage longer than 27 minutes to reach its target at thechosen speed, this error will be reported. For example, a speed of 10 mil/secis chosen to move 17 inches.
If none of the above conditions apply, the error may be due to a failure of thecarriage controller on the ALE. The ALE should be replaced. If this does notfix the error, the responsible firmware programmer should be contacted.

The MPE, DPE and ALE should all be re-seated. If the error persists, recordthe hexadecimal number reported with the message and contact theresponsible firmware programmer. These three boards should also bereplaced, if possible, one at a time.
NOTE: As of carriage module V1.03 the carriage parameter psteps must beset to 32. A carriage psteps wrongly set to a number greater than 32 is themost likely cause of this error. This error was replaced by the moredescriptive error 7017 in carriage module version V2.10.

Error Message CARRIAGE: could not find edge of plate check that plate size is entered correctly
7011 157
Kodak Confidential
Service Information The exposure head has completed its search without finding the edge of theplate. The head believes that it correctly started on the reflective strip, butafter searching for three successively larger areas, no plate edge wasdetected. The plate will be unloaded without imaging.
First measure the plate size and ensure that it matches the plate sizespecified on the workstation (or in the bay by typing "set state bay <bay#>"). If the plate sizes are different by more than a couple of millimeters (or1/8"), correct the discrepancy and try the edge search again.
Next ensure that the edge search parameters are all at default settings: "setcarriage esearch" "set carriage eatt" "set carriage espot" (Green heads only)"set carriage wsearch"
For GREEN heads:
In the diagnostic monitor, type "plot edge cal" and the green edge findingspot should be positioned very close to the edge of the plate (note that thedrum's reflective strip is NOT held in position under the spot). A strong laserspot should be visible, if not there is a problem with the head, i.e. the shutteris not opening, the laser is failing, etc. If the laser spot is not within 2millimeters of the plate edge, the "carriage cph" parameter must be adjustedby the distance between them. It should be increased if the spot is too far offthe plate, decreased if it is on the plate. Check the new setting of cph bytyping "plot edge cal" again and then save it.
Once satisfied with the cph value, move the drum's reflective strip intoposition with "drum edge". The green spot should be in the middle of thelower half of the strip. If not, the "drum epos" parameter should be adjustedby 10 counts down if the spot is too low, and 10 counts up if the spot is toohigh. Check the new setting of epos by typing "drum edge" again and thensave it.
If the edge search is still unsuccessful, the exposure head may be faulty.
For THERMAL heads:

Service Information This error replaces the more cryptic error "Unexpected error: 0x<nn>" with amore informative message (carriage module V2.10). Ok, so it's still crypticbut it's got more information useful to firmware programmers.
This error message will spring up whenever the state machine hits an invalidstate, i.e. the carriage firmware is confused. This could be due to a slew ofreasons such as:
a. various hardware failures (ALE or MPE)
a. firmware bug
a. firmware interrupt latencies caused by things like misbehaving SCSI, forexample.
a. psteps too big for given drum circumference and dpi
Now in practice, that last one is the most common cause of the error. Justreduce psteps and the error should go away. The magic calculation is:
max psteps = TRUNC( (dpi * diam) / 16558 ) - 1
where TRUNC is the truncated (rounded down) result, "dpi" is the resolutionin dots per inch, and diam is the drum diameter in mm (same as the drumdiam parameter). So for a 3244 machine at 1600 dpi, psteps can be set up to26. Note that a machine may have its psteps set less than this maximumvalue which is fine as long as the carriage doesn't stall.
If the machine is to be run at a number of different resolutions, then pick thelowest resolution for calculating psteps. Remember that psteps simply setsthe number of steps (increments) the firmware uses to accelerate anddecelerate the carriage for plotting (not for general carriage moves, that'sdone differently). This means that if psteps is chosen according to the lowestdpi and the carriage doesn't ever stall when plotting, it's set just fine.
If the error persists, capture a log file of the diagnostic output for the machineand forward it to the product's TTE. Be sure to use the "carriage trace"command immediately after the plot is complete, which will dump out themost recent run history of the carriage firmware.
Operator Action Click on CANCEL IMAGE. If the machine does not recover, turn the power tothe output machine off and on again. Please contact Creo Service to reportthis error.
Cause Carriage psteps set too high. Note that the machine might work fine for most plots andonly die with this error when a retrace occurs.
Cause DPI set too low, or the image requested a lower DPI than the machine is set up to handle.Either increase the dpi or adjust the psteps.

Cause SCSI interrupts bogging down machine. There was a bug of some kind in the TIFFdownloader, but this should have been fixed by now (02/14/01). If the problem onlyoccurs with workstation-generated plots but not with manual test plots (with the sameresolution), then blame the workstation SCSI.
Cause Firmware bug. You know the routine.

Error Message HARDWARE: Carriage limit switch
164 Chapter 2—Error Messages
Kodak Confidential
Service Information Carriage movement is disabled because the carriage limit switch on theHOME/AWAY board is tripped. There is a limit switch beside both theHOME switch and the AWAY switch. If either one is tripped, the carriagemotor is disabled and the leadscrew must be turned by hand until it is off theswitch. Red LED's on the HOME/AWAY board and on the ALE, labelled"LIMIT" and "CM LIMIT", light when one of the limit switches is tripped.
The carriage should not trip the limit switch in normal operation. The limitswitch can be tripped if the carriage is travellling too fast upon reachingHOME or AWAY. Usually this will happen only if the carriage has lost trackof its position.
Check if the carriage is at either extreme of its travel. The leadscrew must berotated by turning the pulley attached at the AWAY end. Move theleadscrew so that the carriage moves about one inch towards the centre ofthe machine. Normal operation should now resume.
If the carriage was not at its extremes, or if moving it manually did not help,the HOME/AWAY board cable (HA-BP) should be checked at itsconnectors. If reseating the cable does not help, it or the HOME/AWAYboard may be faulty.

CALIBRATION ERROR
If the filter is not full, and an invalid calibration is suspected, leave the outputdevice idle for ten minutes so that the debris cabinet turns off automaticallythen wait 30 seconds before running a new job to delay activation of thedebris cabinet. This pause allows pressure at the sensor to stabilize tonormal room pressure before sensor calibration occurs. Alternatively, fromthe diagnostic port, the command "dr off" will turn the debris cabinet offimmediately. Then wait 30 seconds to make sure the pressure returns tonormal. You can check with the command "dr" to see when the vacuumreadings stop changing. Use the command "dr on" to recalibrate the sensorand turn the cabinet on.

Cause For the new TS8 engine (Power board 11-0872), verify that there is 48 volts coming outof the PS4 power supply.
Cause For VLF engine only, verify that the fuses F12 and F20 are good. Fuse F20 protects the 80volts power supply and fuse F12 protect the carriage driver board.
Cause For all engine, except the VLF engine, verify that the breaker CB4 is not popped out.
Cause For engine TS3 and TS3/8, verify that the relay K6 is working properly. For engine TS4,TS8 and the new TS8, verify that the relay K2 is working properly.

Service Information VLF: Check the safety loop under mask. Head mask will not be available sincethis error relates to ps6 which is the exposure head logic power.
Check the led's on ps5 and ps6. AC ok and DC ok should both be on.
Measure the power at the outputs of ps6 it should be 48V, also confirm thatthere is 240V at the input. If with ps6's output connected there is 48V thenmeasure the voltage at the thermal head, if it is 0V then replace the eh pwrcable.
If there is 240V input power but no 48V, power down the device anddisconnect ps6's output connections. Next, turn on the device and measurethe power at the output of ps6. If the output is 0V then ps6 needs to bereplaced.
To check if the thermal head needs to be replaced as well ps5 can beswapped with ps6 to verify if ps5 has 48V when the output cables hookedup. If the output is now 48V the thermal head is fine.
If the input power is not 240V but the carriage and drum operate normallythen check fuse F8 on the power distribution board. This cuts the AC to theconnector at J16 which feeds ps6.
Operator Action Shutdown trendsetter. Power on Trendsetter. Check for open doors. Callservice.

Kodak Confidential
Service Information This error is reported when the firmware doesn't detect the unload tablevacuum buildup to greater than a certain threshold in a set amount of time.
The threshold can be found in the nvs parameter table_vac_threshold (tvt) inthe al section.
The vacuum value read is corrected using one of the adc_offset values in theal section of nvs. In this case you want offset 0 (the first one), use "set al aoff0".
Lastly, the time allowed to buildup vacuum can also be found in nvs, this timein the altim section -> vac_generate_delay (vgt) is the name of theparameter.
To check the current value, you can use the "table vac" command to displaythe info, you are looking for lines which look like: Unload Table Vacuum level= X (Under Threshold) Table vacuum threshold Y, offset Z
"table vac on" and "table vac off" can be used to control the table vacuum;with these two and "table vac" you can test both the sensor setup anddetermine if the sensor is broken and need replacing.
Operator Action Contact Support Rep.
Cause Sensor Drift, Broken Sensor, No Vacuum generated, Wrong NVS parameter.

Service Information The drum position tracking system has been disrupted. It was tracking thedrum motion during an image, but was unable to maintain that tracking forsome reason.
It is possible for this error to be reported because of a system pressureproblem. If the system pressure drops below the threshold for a short periodof time, the drum will be stopped but the error may not be reported properly.As of drum module V1.32 (check the "list modules" command, if thatcommand doesn't exist, your firmware is too old), then the statement"WARNING: Low air pressure detected!" will be displayed a few secondsprior to the error being reported. If that message was displayed, then thesystem pressure should be checked. Make sure the supply has enoughvolume, and also check for other devices using the same air line.
The drum encoder disk should be cleaned, carefully following the procedurein the Service Manual. The drum belt tension should also be checked.
The drum tracking can be disrupted by external vibration, such as heavymachinery nearby. This possible cause should be investigated.
If none of the above seem to be the cause, the following can be tried. Theorder in which they are attemted is arbitrary:
a. swap the MPE
b. re-align the drum encoder. This procedure requires an oscilloscope andtraining.
c. swap the drum motor and or driver. Refer to engine integrators for advice.

Error Message IMAGE: Unable to initialize plot for mode set to 0 DPI
Service Information A plot mode has been selected that had the "rip_dpi" parameter set to 0.Instead of crashing, this error is reported. It is generally caused by someoneaccidentally setting the default mode (generally mode 1) dpi setting to 0.This can also happen if a machine is configured to only support 1200dpi - anymodes with resolution greater than 1200dpi may have the rip_dpi parameterset to 0.
The solution is to set the "mode dpi" parameter to a valid resolution.
Operator Action The device has been requested to image at a resolution of 0dpi. This is eitheran error in the file, or a problem with the machine. Cancel the job and try adifferent file. If it also fails, contact the CreoScitex Response Centre.

Error Message HEAD: multiple edges detected - verify image position
Service Information This is not an error - it is an informational message only.
While searching for the edge of the plate, the head "saw" two edges. The"media x edge" parameter was set to 2, so this condition is allowed, and thefirst edge is taken as the true edge.
Each time this occurs, the "state imaging double_edge_count" isincremented, and this warning message is sent to the workstation. The totalcount can be checked with the "list stats" command.

Error Message HEAD: Light level too low for Beam Pointing
Service Information
Normally means that the laser is not really on so check laser setpoint andmedia selection.
Due to a firmware bug in thermal head firmware versions prior to 1.56 thiserror message could also occur if light level on one of the sensors is too high.This can be very confusing if the laser is clearly on yet the error message sayslight level to low. This situation can easy happen if the beam pointing rodcurrent is completely wrong. To recover from this situation enter "lasercurrent 20", "head bp on" and wait for several minutes. After this the rodcurrent should be properly set and you should now be able to issue "laser on"successfully.
If you have thermal head version 1.56 it is easily possible to diagnose theexact problem by using the internal data collection capabilities (see releasenotes or head diag0 information). Also with 1.56 the command "laser test"may diagnose the problem.
Note that due to a programming error, this error has been defined for boththe green and thermal heads.
Thermal: Light level too low for Beam Pointing
The error indicates that beam-pointing is on but the laser is off ( or havingserious problems ). There is insufficient signal level for the beam-pointing( for twenty iterations the sum of the beam-pointing sensors was less thanfifty ).
The Thermal Head Troubleshooting document includes a beam-pointing test.The test turns on the laser and the beam-pointing and verifies operation ofthe beam-pointing by moving the laser from one side to the other whilemonitoring the beam-pointing sensor readings.
Green: actuators initialized ok
The exposure head has successfully finished initialization. This is not an errormessage.

Error Message HEAD: Timeout waiting for LASER OK
17693 305
Kodak Confidential
Service Information Note that due to a programming error, this error has been defined for boththe green and thermal heads.
Thermal: Timeout waiting for LASER OK
While turning on the laser, the laser is "throttled up" gradually to preventdamage to the thermal head ( the beam-pointing sensors ). At each step, thepower is expected to settle within five seconds to the desired power level.
This error generally occurs in the initial ramp up of the laser to the idlesetting. Either the laser is not turning on at all, the power is oscillating or elsethe noise level is too high. If you have thermal head version 1.56 it is easilypossible to diagnose the exact problem by using the internal data collectioncapabilities (see release notes or head diag0 information). Also with 1.56 thecommand "laser test" may diagnose the problem.
If the laser is not turning on at all then check laser power setpoint, mediaselection, and laser mode. Try turning on laser with "laser current" to testlaser itself. Also make sure that the NVS head parameters wkp and wki arenot zero.
If the problem is oscillation try changing the head wkp and wki parameters tosmaller values.
Green: NDF actuator did not initialize
The exposure head's Neutral Density Filter actuator did not initializeproperly. Imaging and other head operations will likely not work properly.Check all power supplies on the head. If these do not seem to be theproblem, contact head integration for advice.

During a plate load, this parameter is used as follows:
a. the plate is first clamped into the LE clamps
b. the drum is moved to this position
c. the drum roller is lowered onto the drum
d. the plate is wound the rest of the way on to the drum
During a plate unload, this parameter is used as follows:

Long Name sensor_to_lec
Description The parameter should be set equal to the distance between the surface ofthe registration pins (when the LE clamps are open) and the tripping point ofthe table plate sensor (when the table is up). This value is used to help thefirmware measure the plate size while loading.
The plate size is calculated by seeing how far the drum moved before thetable plate sensor became uncovered, then adding this distance to thesensor_to_lec parameter.
To calibrate the parameter simply get a decent sized plate (msz between600 and 1,100 mm) and load it with the command "load <msz> cal". Formore information on what this does, see the "load" command.
Type uint16
Array Size
Notes When you automatically calibrate this parameter with the "load <msz> cal"command the value will be slightly larger than the distance between the reg.pins and the table plate sensor.

Description Specifies the distance between the plate edge positions of the TE and LEclamps, as measured along the surface of the drum. This parameter tells thefirmware how far to move in order to clamp the trailing edge of the plate.
The trailing edge clamping position for a given plate size is roughly calculatedas:
te_clamping_position = lec_position + plate_height + tec_offset.
On the VLF Trendsetter the TE clamping position is actually below the LEclamping position, which is opposite from all other platesetters. So for theVLF Trendsetter the tec_offset is subtracted, not added, to the aboveequation.

Type int32
Array Size
Notes This parameter should be set such that when the command "putclamp" isissued, there is a small 2 mm gap between the park bars and the clamps. Thisis just a safety margin to prevent the clamps from being put on top of thepark bars.

msspeed
Parameter Family carriage
Long Name max_skip_speed
Description This sets the maximum allowable carriage speed while skipping, in mils persecond. The acceleration towards skip velocity is linear as opposed to theacceleration towards move velocity which is optimized as a curve. Therefore,this velocity should be set about 20 percent below the maximum carriagespeed ("carriage mspeed") to ensure the carriage doesn't stall whileaccelerating to skip velocity.
The actual carriage skip velocity will be an integer ratio of the plot velocity.This is necessary so the swath boundaries remain in the same position whenplotting resumes. Given the maximum skip speed and the other skipping-related parameters, the carriage firmware will calculate the highest possibleratio for the skipping velocity (referred to as the "blank skip ratio").

Long Name min_skip_width
msspeed 429
Kodak Confidential
Description The minimum blank width that should be skipped. Blank regions smaller thanthis width may or may not be skipped, while blank regions equal to or largerthan this width will be skipped.
Set this parameter to the smallest blank width the customer will typicallyencounter in their images. The larger this parameter, the fewer blank regionsmay be skipped but the faster the potential skip velocity. The smaller thisparameter, the more blank regions may be skipped but at a slower overallvelocity. If set too small, the carriage may not be able to skip within the widthspecified, which would essentially disable blank skipping.
The blank skip ratio (see notes in "carriage msspeed") is calculated once atthe start of each plot, and is used for the duration of the plot. When skippinga blank region, the carriage must reach a velocity equal to the blank skip ratiotimes the plot velocity before decelerating back to plotting. This completecycle is necessary to ensure the swath boundaries remain in the sameposition when plotting resumes. Therefore there is a minimum width thatmay be skipped, dependent on the time it takes to accelerate to skip velocityand back to plot velocity again. The larger the minimum width, the more timethe carriage has to perform this cycle and the higher the possible skip speed.
The blank skipping speed will be limited by the minimum skip width until themaximum carriage skip velocity is reached ("carriage msspeed") or until theFDPE holds less image data than the minimum skip width (note that theFDPE has an internal limit of 4088 scanlines in memory, about 1.7 inches ofimage at 2400 dpi, so increasing the memory size may not have any effect).With "verbose plot" set to 2 during plot setup, the firmware diagnosticoutput will indicate whether the minimum skip width is limiting the blankskipping speed or not.
Type uint16
Array Size
Notes Only present on machines equipped with the blank skipping feature. Onlyused by the firmware at the start of a plot when blank skipping is enabled(see "carriage skip").
In addition to the required acceleration-skip-deceleration skipping cycle, anumber of blank rotations must be used to re-learn the focus prior toresuming plotting ("carriage bfrlearn"). Even more blank rotations arerequired to compensate for orthogonality (the natural plotting angle), andmore still for overlapped swaths, if any. These extra rotations are subtractedfrom the minimum skip width prior to calculating the maximum skip speedthat will fit within the remaining width.
Not all blank regions equal to or larger than the minimum skip width will beskipped. The carriage can only start and end skipping on a swath boundary,so partially blank swaths are ignored.

Parameter Family carriage
Long Name plot_accel_steps
Description This parameter helps define the profile used when the carriage isaccelerating/decelerating to/from plot speed and when performing anasynchronous retrace. The time given to the carriage to accelerate is 1 drumrevolution and in that revolution there is a limited number of psteps. Thisparameter designates how many of those steps to use to accelerate thecarriage - if fewer are used then the carriage is accelerating faster (less timeto reach full plot speed) and this can lead to a stalling carriage if the torquerequired to achieve the desired acceleration exceeds the motor/drivercapacity.
On some devices with the introduction of newer and more importantly higherdrum/imaging speeds, there have been instances of the carriage stalling -mainly on VLF devices. It is permissable to increase this parameter to removeproblems with carriage acceleration, the maximum practical value of pstepscan be read from the diagnostic monitor - the firmware prints out the maxpsteps value during setup for a plot. Typically for a V-Speed VLF device wehave been setting the psteps parameter to about 90 (from the default of 68)to avoid stalling and leave some margin for degradation of the motor/driver.
If you are increasing the psteps value above the default, please be careful tonot make it too large, if set too large, the carriage may not accelerate on timeresulting in plot artifacts OR you may see one of two possible errors: 1)"Unexpected Error 0x22 (or 0x24)" < In Carriage modules 2.00 and lower >2) "Carriage illegal dest.

This parameter can only be set using the "config" command during the firsttwo minutes after startup. Configuring a machine as an E-type (entry-level)machine disables several features such as temperature compensation andgeometric correction. The S, F, or V speed determines the throughput of themachine.
For the Trendsetter Autoloader, this parameter also determines whether touse the solenoid mapping for TS3 or for TS4 and TS8. The air-knife andunload table cups solenoids were reversed between those two types ofmachines.
For Platesetters, this parameter was used for development purposes only.

For the VLF Platesetter: When set to 0 the autoloader will attempt to removeslipsheets using all means available. The success of picking a plate is alsoverified with the proximity sensor mounted on the picker.
When set to 1 the autoloader will not attempt to remove any slipsheets, norwill it check the proximity sensor.
For 3244 Trendsetter-based products: When set to 1 (indicating polyesterfilm media) the system blower is shut off during load/unload.
For Spectrum Proofer: In addition to the 3244 Trendsetter useage, severaldecisions are made during load/unload depending on the mcode parameter.If mcode = 4 then the media is front-loading proofing media rather than top-loading film or plates and is handled accordingly.
For ThermoFlex: ThermoFlex is sold as a Flexo media recorder that alsosupports thermal film. Because the flexo plates are a multi-layered platethere are some scaling issues involved - hence when mcode = 3 (FlexoPlates) the ThermoFlex firmware looks for an additional scaling value inmedia scaling_correction based on the thickness in plate_loc d. For all othermcode's this extra correction is not used.

536 Chapter 3—Parameters
Kodak Confidential
Description Determines the verbose level for the autoloader command task. The verboselevel determines the number of messages displayed on the diagnosticmonitor. Normally, the verbose level is set to 0 until more detailed debuginformation is required. The higher the level, the more messages displayed.Usually, level 2 and higher messages are useful only to firmware developers.
The alcmd task is the most important one for issues regarding plate handling.The alconv and alcass tasks deal with conveyor and cassette autoloaderfunctions. Generally verbose level 1 is suitable for customer viewing, level 2for basic service diagnostics, and level 4 for advanced service diagnostics,level 5 for very advanced service diagnostics and levels above that are onlyuseful to developers.
Since nvs module 1.86 (type list modules) it is possible to set complex levelsof verbosity. The verbose number may be 4 digits 0-9999. Normal verboseleves are 0-99, any number >100 is interpreted as follows. The last two digitsare a special verbose level and the first, or first two digits are the normalverbose level, ( e.g. 225, the normal verbose level 2 will display all messageson level 2 and below, the special verbose level is 25 and only messages onlevel 25 plus those 2 and below will be displayed. This prevents the screengetting clogged up with all the messages between 3 and 24.) ( e.g. 1225would display messages on level 12 and below, plus the messages on level25)

all
Parameter Family verbose
Long Name all
Description The universal verbose level for all tasks. All tasks will display at least thislevel of verbose messages, although a higher level can be selected forindividual tasks. If you set verbose all 0, it does not make the verbose levelfor all tasks 0, but leave the task that are set at higher numbers.
The verbose level determines the number of messages displayed on thediagnostic monitor. Normally, the verbose level is set to 0 until more detaileddebug information is required. The higher the level, the more messagesdisplayed. Usually, level 2 and higher messages are useful only to firmwaredevelopers.
This parameter is similar to the very old "sys vb" parameter.
