3.3.5 AutomaticReturn



WhenStackShotfinishesaseriesofstepsyouhavetheoptionofreturningtothebeginning

positionautomatically(“AutoReturn”setto“Yes”).Thisisusefulifyouwanttochangea

camerasettingandbeginanothersetofpictures.Tochangethissetting,usetheUPor

DOWNbuttons.Whensetto“No”,StackShotwillleavethecameraatthefinalposition.

completionofthefivesteps(andwith“AutoReturn”setto“Yes”),therailwillmovebackto

itsinitialposition.If“AutoReturn”hadbeensetto“No”,therailwouldhaveremainedat

thefinalposition.

3.3.6 MotorSpeed



Themotorspeed(“Speed”)isanadjustableparameter.Whynotsetthespeedtothe

maximum?Therearetwodrawbacksfromgoingfaster:



12



1. Itwilllikelyincreasethesettletimerequired.

2. Asspeedincreases,motortorquedecreases.ThiscancauseStackShotto“slip”and

notmovetherailproperly.

Thedefaultwillworkformostapplications,butifyouseetherailnotmovingproperly

(becauseyou’reusinga12000mmprimelenstofocus‐stackyourneighbor’sforehead),and

thetorqueissetatmaximum,tryslowingdownthemotorspeed.

3.3.7 TimeLapseInterval

Thetimelapseinterval(“Tlapse”)determinesthetimetakenbetweenstacks.Whensetto

“off”therailperformsonestackatatime(normaloperation).Whensettovalueotherthan

“off”,time‐lapsemodeisenabled.Thisfeatureallowstheperiodic captureofasequenceof

images.Anexamplewherethismaybehelpfulwouldbestackingaflowerbloomingover

time.Ifthe“Tlapse”timeisfasterthanthetimeittakestocompleteastackitwillskipthat

time‐lapseeventandwaitforthenextinterval.Theintervalmaybeadjustedfrom100ms

upto24hours.

CAUTION:Time‐lapsemodewillpotentiallycausetheun‐attendedoperationoftherail.

seriouslydamagedduetothisfeature.

3.3.8 PulseTime

Thepulseduration(“Tpulse”)isthetimethattheshutteroutput“Trigger”isactive(on).

Thissettingmaycomeinhandyin“Continuous”modesince“Tpulse”and“Toff”effectively

sethowrapidlypicturesaretaken.Forothermodesthissettingwouldtypicallynotbe

adjusted.Thepulsedurationshouldbelongenoughforyourcameratorespond.Ifthe

pulsetimeissettooshortyourcameramayignoreit.

StackShotallowsyoutoadjusthowfastthemotorrampsupordowninspeed(“Tramp”).

Increasingtheramptimeeffectivelydecreasestheaccelerationofthecamera.Similarlyto

3.3.10 UnitsofMeasure

Thedefaultunitofmeasure(“Units”)issetto“Metric/mm”.Ifyouaremorecomfortable

withinches,youcanchangethedisplayeddistances/speedsfrommetrictoEnglish

(“English/mils”).Thedisplaywillshow“mils”.One“mil”isathousandthofaninch.You

alsohavetheoptionofselecting“Steps”.A“step”isthehighestresolutionmethodof

movementforStackShot.Onestepistheequivalent to0.1125degreesofmotorrevolution,

0.000496mm(~0.5um),or0.0195mils.Using“Steps”astheunitofmeasureis

recommendedonlyforadvancedusers.Suchsmallresolutionincreasestheprobabilityof

runninginto“stiction”whichmaycausenon‐uniformstepsintherailmovement.
