Status Size:
User can change size of LED indicators at the status bar.
Status LEDs:
To create and add a desired LED indicator to status bar, user writes dedicated short code into LED input bar.
ES: Creates Estop LED indicator.
SL: Creates Soft Limit LED indicator.
LM: Creates Hard Limits LED indicator.
MT: Creates Motor Enable LED indicator.
AL: Creates Axis Lock LED indicator.
ER: Creates Error pin LED indicator.
On: Creates Output header pin LED indicator. O3 would create indicator for output pin 3.
In: Creates Input header pin LED indicator. I3 would create indicator for input pin 3.
Ln: Creates Limit header pin LED indicator. L3 would create indicator for limit input pin 3.
Jn: Creates Jog header pin LED indicator. J3 would create indicator for jogging input pin 3.
Cn: Creates CTRL header pin LED indicator. C3 would create indicator for CTRL pin 3.
Example: We would like to create LED indicator for Input pin 1 and Output pin 3.
In such case we write O3 and I1 into input bar. For the sake of better representation, size of indicators is set to 49 pts:
Indicators are created in the bottom left corner:
