SPD(OPCS) Optical Printer Control System SPD(OPCS) NAME spd - set the camera's exposure speed USAGE spd [speed] # set CAMERA's exposure speed spd [+-/*][speed] # relative adjust current exposure speed EXAMPLES spd .30 # set camera's speed to .30 second spd +.1 # add 0.1 to current camera speed DESCRIPTION This command sets the camera's exposure speed. In K1.12E+, speeds can also be adjusted relative to the current speed. Just prefix the speed with one of the following characters: Prefix Description Examples ------ --------------------------------- -------- + Add value to current speed spd +.10 - Subtract value from current speed spd -.10 * Multiply value to current speed spd *2.0 / Divide current speed by value spd /2.0 This is useful for wedging camera exposures. EXAMPLE: spd .20 do 9 cam 1 spd +.10 ..this will shoot a 9 frame exposure wedge for the camera speeds .20 thru 1.0 at .10 increments. The equivalent in longhand would be: spd .20 cam 1 spd .30 cam 1 spd .40 cam 1 spd .50 cam 1 spd .60 cam 1 spd .70 cam 1 spd .80 cam 1 spd .90 cam 1 spd 1.0 cam 1 Depending on how SPD(OPCSDEFS) is configured in your OPCSDEFS.OPC file, the values you supply can be ROTATIONAL -or- EXPOSURE speeds. The SPD(OPCSDEFS) command may be adjusted to automatically convert ROTATIONAL speeds to EXPOSURE speeds, according to the number of degrees in your camera's shutter. See SPD(OPCSDEFS) for more info.
