Antilatency.Pillar.App. Detailed Description
Antilatency.Pillar.App comes with a simple layout. The main area is a field with circular zones and intersecting axes. Circular zones are necessary to visualize the deviation of a magnet (a magnet inside a pillar is responsible for its upright position) from the center: a magnet is in the center if a marker is in the center of the dark green zone, and therefore a pillar itself is in an upright position. If a marker is in the red zone or outside the field, it signals a significant deviation of a magnet.
Two interactive windows located on the top left-hand side contain the following information:
- Motors current shows current intensity in the motors of a pillar alignment mechanism.
- Vbus shows output voltages produced from a USB port.
The Points count button shows the number of points that follow a marker.
Use the Write and Read buttons located in the lower left-hand corner of the screen to switch between the Write (this mode is used for data collection) and Read (this mode is used for data analysis) modes.
Click the Open last button in the Read mode to see the data collected last; click Open file to find and open the file you need.
Motors control panel in the lower part of the screen contains the tools for pillar alignment. Click on and hold down either the Right up or the Right down button to raise or lower the right adjustable leg of a pillar. The Left up and Left down buttons work the same way, but with a left adjustable leg. Move the Speed slider to set a speed for the adjustable legs to change their height with.
Next to the Motors control panel there is another panel with the help of which you can:
- Disable and Enable IR Leds.
- Start/stop an automatic alignment of a pillar (Start auto correction/Complete mission). The Current mission box shows the operation that has been started and its current status (None - the device is in an idle mode; Autocorrection - the auto-alignment process is underway).
Change color of an RGB LED indicator using the panel with colored squares.
Click on any square and adjust its color in the Selected color window. Select the Set for all button to apply the color you have chosen to all the diodes. Click on the Default button to reset the color settings. To set a different color for each diode, choose a color for each square and click Apply colors to apply your color settings.
Click on the Add color mission button to add your color settings to a set of actions performed during diagnostics.
The panel in the lower right corner of the screen will show a list of actions that will be performed one after another during a diagnostic process. The action that is currently underway will be highlighted in green.
Click on the Load preset button to load your preset and use it by pressing the Play button.
Click on the Add circular sequence button to add a sequence of actions. Set a duration time for each action by entering the desired time (in milliseconds) in the input box next to the ms. Click on the Clear missions button to delete all the actions.
