DIRXOR(OPCSDEFS) Optical Printer Control System DIRXOR(OPCSDEFS) NAME dirxor - invert direction of motor; direction "exclusive or" (XOR) SYNOPSIS dirxor [chan] [invert] EXAMPLE dirxor b 1 # invert direction of the projector motor. dirxor c 1 # invert direction of the camera motor. DESCRIPTION After setting up a new motor, you notice that executing a command that should run the motor forward actually runs it BACKWARDS, and vice- versa, you can remedy this by either rewiring the motor (the hard way), or changing the DIRXOR(OPCSDEFS) command in your OPCSDEFS.OPC file. By changing the [invert] value from 0 to 1 (or 1 to 0, as the case may be) you can invert the software's sense of direction for that motor. [chan] is the motor channel being affected. [invert] can be either a 0 (default) or a 1, depending on which value suits the installation. WARNING Changing this value in the OPCSDEFS.OPC file as a prank is a truly nasty way to drive the next shift's cameraman completely nuts, and confuse the shit out of everybody who uses the machine after you. BUGS None. ORIGIN Gregory Ercolano, Los Feliz California 11/29/89
