Hi Taylor,

Aximmetry does not use the mapping information provided by LONET, since Aximmetry has its own calibration tools.
In order to use any encoder input you have to go through a calibration procedure described here:
https://aximmetry.com/wiki/index.php?title=Basic_Lens_Calibration_(without_lens_distortion)

You can also specify a Focus Distance for each calibration point, this is the way to get the focus encoder work.

I suggest turning off LONET's own mapping when you do the procedure to be able to work with the raw encoder data.

Thank you I was able to get the glass mark working using this method.

However once it is up and running I am un able to use both lens encoder and HTC vive camera tracking at the same time. 

is there a work around for this. Here are some screen shots of what I have set up. 

When I have the glass mark set up to the "tracking device" I am able to shift the focus of the camera but i lose the tracking data from the vive in order todo so. What is the proper procedure specifically with the Vive camera tracking data?

Hi Taylor,

If you use the Device Mapper you have to select the "18mm" Mode for HTC Vive not the Free-D device.
Alternatively you can omit using Device Mapper for tracking (clear everything there) and just set the Tracking Device, Tracking Mode, Zoom Device directly on the INPUT panel.

Also I recommend using the Lonet protocol directly instead of Free-D.  In Manage Devices you can find Lonet and specify the assignments you made for the zoom/focus encoders in the LONET server app.

Hi @Zoltan,

Does 3rd party Lens encoders such as Glassmark only work with the Aximmetry Broadcast license?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, all types of lens encoders only work in Broadcast. In Professional you can only work with fixed zoom.

Got it..

"Fixed Zoom" means the only available in Pro-license that's driven in the app, Right?

I'm sorry, my answer might have been misleading.  You can use the tracking systems categorized as "experimental" in any edition, not only Professional.
https://aximmetry.com/learn/faq/hardware-1/#what-tracking-systems-are-supported-in-any-aximmetry-edition 

But you cannot use lens encoders in this case.  Fixed zoom means that you use your camera with the lens set to a constant zoom,  and do the "calibration" in Aximmetry by using the Manual Lens mode on the INPUT panel.
