Introduction

The Universal Auto Focus Plug-in allows manual and automatic control of a Auto Focus (AF) actuator. You select the actuator type, and then selects options as to limits and features to exercise the actuator.

It is assumed that you have general knowledge of DevWare and its plug-ins, as well as basic knowledge of AF actuators and methods.

The Plug-in is organized by major functional areas, each separated by a line the runs the width of the plug-in.

Actuator and Focus Type Selection

The first area lets you select the actuator ("IC Driver"), the type of AF to use ("Focus Types"), as well as associated parameters.

• IC Driver; this pull-down is populated based on the attached sensor. For example, if the sensor has an Internal VCM then that driver will be available.
  Use the pull-down to select the actuator type of the attached module.
  Note: there is no method of auto-detecting the actuator type - you must know this.
• Focus Types; this pull-down allows you to select the plug-in function
