The Configurable Turn Table device driver is a Turn Table which is supported by RadiMation®.   It can be used to control other measurement equipment, for which no RadiMation device driver is available yet. The Configurable Turn Table allows to manual create a device driver to controll a Turn Table. Where the device then can be used in RadiMation. The Turn Table can thus be used for tests.

Initialisation and Check[edit]

ScreenElementDescription.svg Reset The reset code that needs to be send to device. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Init The command that is send to initialize the configured device. When left blank no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Get Id The command that is send to retrieve the ID of the device. This is used to check if the device is connected. A commonly used SCPI command is: *IDN?. When left blank, no command will be send.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Returned ID The identifier is used to check if the correct device driver is selected and the device is connected. Leaving this blank, will skip the device check.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Deinit Specifies the command that is send when the device is no longer controlled. This can for example be used to put the measurement device is an intrinsic safe state. Leaving this blank, will keep the device in its last state after controlling it.
ScreenElementDescription.svg Wait for Completion after sending command The checkmark can be enabled so RadiMation® will wait for all the commands to complete, before it continues. This is done by sending SCPI command *OPC? to the device.
