5.5.2 CONTROLLING A TURNTABLE<br />
Fig.5.8 Turntable control panel<br />
This control panel helps you when you are operating a turntable; the information given<br />
here apply to the control of the Outline ET/ST Turntable; they can be adapted to any<br />
other device.<br />
The turntable control is achieved with Bit 7 of the parallel port output bits, as showed<br />
in Fig.5.6. The turntable should be connected to the parallel port of the computer by<br />
means of a cable defined as follows:<br />
PC side DB25 male<br />
ET/ST side DB9 male<br />
Pin 9 Pin 2<br />
Pin 22 Pin 4<br />
All other pins unconnected<br />
The cable should be connected as in the following figure.<br />

Inside the Turntable control panel it is possible to set its Resolution (in degrees) and<br />
Speed (in rotations per minute); the combination of these settings give the software<br />
indication about how much time to wait after the controlling pulse is output.<br />
We have two controlling buttons defined as follows:<br />
Single Pulse It is used to give a single manual triggering pulse to move the turntable<br />
to the next position.<br />
Link To Measurement When pressed enables the software to move the turntable<br />
at the end of an executed measurement; works only with the MLS and Sinusoidal control<br />
panels. Refer to chapter 12 for an example of how to use this feature during polar<br />
measurements.<br />
