- Motor ID : The sticker attached to the motor
- Controller ID : ID number of control connected to the motor
- Alignment Angle : When the mark of Q-wave plate is at this angle, all plates will convert a vertical polarized laser to a circular polarized one. Besides, the polarization direction is the same.
- Auto calibration error : is the marker angle on the plate holder, while the holder is shown to be rotated to 0 degree on the computer. The reason why it is not 0, is due to non-perfect precision of automatic calibration.
- Position Up/Down Read Back: The angle setting on the computer for spin state Up/Down.
