setup_velocity method does not change minimum velocity and maximum velocity
Opened this issue · 1 comments
I am using KDC101 and was trying the adjust the velocity using the setup_velocity method.
x.setup_velocity(1,1,2, channel = None, scale = True)
x.get_velocity_parameters()The velocity parameters returned are:
TVelocityParams(min_velocity=0.0, acceleration=0.0, max_velocity=2.0)I realize that max_velocity is the only parameter that changes while min_velocity and acceleration get set to zero no matter what the input is.
I tried to set the velocity manually in the kinesis.py file but it doesn't make any difference. Do you know why?
It looks like, according to the documentation, the minimal velocity is always zero
I haven't realized it when implementing those methods. I'll add a remark in the docstring for the next release. Sorry for the confusion!
The acceleration problem is less clear. Perhaps, it's a scaling issue? Can you specify the stage that you are using and show the output of x._get_scale()? You can also try getting or changing the acceleration in the raw units (i.e., setting scale = False) and see if it works? The values should be on the scale of several 100 (raw units of 100 corresponds to about 0.5mm/s^2 for linear stages, or about 7deg/s^2 for rotational ones).
