Double rotary

JEFMAN
Hi all,
I would like to place an horizontal rotary on a vertical one, as stacked rotaries.
To test the solution, I only have a manual rotary without readers.
In PC-DMIS, I can defined stacked rotaries only in dcc.
I can define a manual single rotary, and select something like "manualindexstandalone" to get the angle.
Is there any way to do the same with stacked rotaries (external ? hidden parameter ?)
I tested dual rotaries, but it doesn't work as I want...

    the ROTABISMANUALINDEXSTANDALONE setting was put in for testing purposes many years ago, for me. I have a single small table which has no communications with the software nor the controller hardware. I use it mainly to test the math functions which are involved with rotating the table. It is not at all precise as I cannot guarantee that the angle I am instructed to turn to is actually what is positioned on the table itself, but close enough for my purposes. It should not be set by anyone using tables of any kind. There are no other hidden parameters. So to answer your question, I know of no way to do what you want with stacked rotary tables.

    Thx Don for the answer, even if it's not what I'm waiting for...
    I just would like to test this solution before going further.

    Another question : you can define V rotary or W rotary, but there's only one "rotabismanual", not Vismanual or Wismanual (I think there are some parameters like this which don't separate V and W)
    Could it be changed, in a future version ?

    I have to be honest and say not very likely. That parameter was put in for me years ago and was never intended for the public, as we don't support such disconnected tables. You could try adding it to the idea center to see if others agree it would be a useful tool

    and we need to pull the plug because this thing is self aware.

    i don't know about you but i love multiple head positions.
