Tfx Command
sys parm [<index> <value>]

Variables index Specifies the index of the system parameter from 0 to 39.
value Specifies the value for the system parameter.

Description Display / write the system parameters.

System parameters are the parameters in the exposure head that the host can read and / or write. The host must write system parameters to the exposure head as required by the exposure head. The host can read system parameters from the exposure head as required by the host.

The monitor command sys parm will display the system parameters as follows:

<Index> <Parameter> <Enable> <Write> <Read> <Units>

The system parameters in the exposure head that the host can read and / or write are as follows:
  • Stroke Width
  • Stroke Offset
  • Image DPI
  • Media Thickness
  • Drum Diameter
  • Drum Speed
  • Laser Power
  • Surface Velocity
  • Sensitivity
  • Sensitivity Adjust
  • Surface Reflectivity
  • Surface Depth
  • Overlap Flag
  • Orthog Flag
  • Invert Flag
  • Subscan Duplicate
  • Trailing Flag
  • Swaths To Learn
  • Total Swaths
  • Swaths To Hold
  • SCLK Revolution
  • SCLK Start
  • SCLK Length
  • SCLK Image
  • LEC Shadow
  • TEC Shadow
  • Write Laser Timeout
  • Stroke Cal Timeout
  • Focus Timeout
  • Lens Position
  • Sub-Scan Shift Adjust
  • Laser Ready Time
  • Balance Ready Time
  • Write Laser Enable
  • Focus Learn Enable
  • Bidirectional Flag
  • Seam Offset
  • Seam Width
  • Sleeve Flag
  • Carriage Speed

The enable for the system parameter is one of the following:
  • N/A
  • True
  • False
The enable for the system parameter determines how the exposure head handles host updates of the system parameter. If the enable is "N/A", the host does not have write access to the system parameter. If the enable is "True", the exposure head is accepting the host write of the system parameter. If the enable is "False", the exposure head is ignoring the host write of the system parameter.

The write value for the system parameter is the value written by the host or the user and is the value currently being used by the exposure head.

The read value for the system parameter is the value read by the host from the exposure head and should be the value currently being used by the host.

The monitor command sys parm <index> <value> will write the system parameter and "trigger" the configuration of the system parameter. Note that if the enable is "True", the host will overwrite the system parameter.
