Question

I have noticed that the uScopeMX and uScopeHX scan in a bidirectional pattern (up and down). However, the uScopeGX only scans unidirectionally (down). Why doesn't the uScopeGX scan bidirectionally?

Answer

The uScopeGX uses a different motor and controller for the X and Y platforms that makes it more stable when scanning in a single direction.

For this reason, the uScopeGX scans unidirectionally.
