Thermal3 Command
sys edge [standard|featureless|off]

Description Configure the edge detect control mode.

The monitor command sys edge standard initiates the "Standard" edge detect control mode. A standard edge detect will detect an edge transition from off-plate to on-plate. The edge detect state is initialized including the logic to generate the interrupt for the host.

The monitor command sys edge featureless initiates the "Featureless" edge detect control mode. A featureless edge detect will detect an edge transition from on-plate to off-plate. The edge detect state is initialized including the logic to generate the interrupt for the host.

The monitor command sys edge off executes the "Off" edge detect control mode. This will disable the logic to generate the interrupt for the host.

The monitor command sys edge will display the edge detect information. The edge detect information is displayed as follows:

SYS: Over Media=<Over Media>
SYS: Number Of Edges=<Number of Edges>
SYS: Delta Time=<Delta Time> us

The over media flag will be one of the following:
  • True
  • False

The number of edges indicates the number of valid edge transitions that have been detected by the exposure head. The "Standard" edge detect control mode will detect off-plate to on-plate edge transitions and the "Featureless" edge detect control mode will detect on-plate to off-plate edge transitions.

The delta time indicates the difference between the edge detect interrupt and the edge detect position.

Notes Thermal 1.0 / 1.7x equivalents:
  • The monitor command sys edge (standard|off) is equivalent to head edge (on|off).
  • The monitor command sys edge featureless does not have an equivalent.
  • The monitor command sys edge is comparable to head sample edge.

Thermal 2 equivalents:
  • The monitor command sys edge [standard|featureless|off] is equivalent to sys edge [standard|featureless|off].
