The Model 789A-3 scan controller provides the user with a low cost, high resolution, easy to use, stepper motor scanning system. The Model 789A-3 comes complete with a stepping motor to fit McPherson monochromators and/or sample handling accessories. The cabling for power and limit switches, controller, and power supply are furnished with this controller. Selectable features include scanning direction, rate, and motor enable/disable. Indicate the model number of the instrument to be fitted if not ordering with the instrument.
The Model 789A-3 is used for instrument upgrade and reconditioning too. The Model 789A-3 digital scan control is an essential part of most upgrades. Once installed it allows wavelength control and facilitates data acquisition via computer.
User friendly front panel controls selection of all functions. Our standard serial interface (RS232) permits selectable features to be changed remotely. No analog to digital or I/O boards required. For users interested in controlling devices via TTL or C-MOS logic, consult factory for details.

Programming Example
Objective: To scan the instrument at a rate of 10 Å/Min. over a range of 5 Å. After completion of the scan, change direction and slew back to the starting wavelength at a rate of 2000 Å/Min. Motor resolution is set to 36000 steps/rev.
| P84 (CR) | |
| 84 V60 | 60 steps/sec (1 0 Å/min) |
| 87+ 1800 | 5 Å wavelength range (1800 steps) |
| 93 W1 | Wait 1 millisecond to change velocity. |
| 96 V12000 | Change V to 12000 steps/sec. (2000 Å/Min.) |
| 98-1800 | Change direction & return 1800 steps. |
| 102 P (CR) | Stores program, exits to command mode. |
| Q84 (CR) | To verify or review program. |
| (CR) | To scroll through the program. |
| G84 (CR) | To run program. |
