Normal
List Command
mark_rel_3d
Function
moves the laser focus at marking speed along a 3D vector from the current position to the
specified position (relative coordinate values) within a three-dimensional process volume.
Restriction
If the 3D option is not enabled or no 3D correction table has been assigned (see
), then the command will have the same effect as
microvectorization will be calculated like a 3D command and hence will influence the
effective marking speed in the XY plane.
Call
mark_rel_3d( dX, dY, dZ )
Parameters
dX,dY,dZ
relative coordinates of the mark vector end point in
bits
as signed 32-bit
values; allowed range:
• for
X
and
Y
: [–8388608 … 8388607] (out-of-range values will be edge-
clipped). The complete value range [–8388608 … 8388607] is only usable
as a virtual image field e.g. for (enabled) Processing-on-the-fly applica-
tions. The current coordinates will be clipped to [–524288 … 524287] (real
image field size) during runtime directly prior to use of the correction table.
• for
Z
: [–32768 … 32767] (out-of-range values will be edge-clipped).
Comments
• The coordinates for the mark vector’s end point are to be supplied as relative coordi-
nates with respect to the current position. Otherwise, the command is identical to
(see the comments there).

5 unchanged functionality (except for the extended range of values).
In RTC
®
4 compatibility mode, the RTC
®
5 multiplies the specified value for the X and Y
coordinates by 16 (the permissible range of values is correspondingly reduced). The value
range for Z coordinates is identical for the RTC
®
5 and RTC
®
4.
