Normal
List Command
timed_arc_rel
Function
moves the laser focus for the specified marking duration from the current position along
an arc with the specified angle and center point (relative coordinate values) within a two-
dimensional image field.
Call
timed_arc_rel( dX, dY, Angle, T )
Parameters
dX, dY
relative coordinates of the arc center in
bits
as signed 32-bit value; allowed
range: [–8388608 … 8388607] (out-of-range values will be edge-clipped).
Angle
arc angle in ° as a 64-bit IEEE floating point value
(positive angle values correspond to clockwise angles);
allowed range: [–3600.0° … +3600.0°] (±10 full circles);
out-of-range values will be edge-clipped.
T
• duration of the complete arc marking process in
microseconds
(as a 64-bit
IEEE floating point value); allowed range: [0 … 167772160]; the param-
eter will be rounded to an integer-multiple of 10; out-of-range values will
be clipped. If
T
< 5, then
timed_arc_rel
Comments
• The coordinates for the arc center are to be supplied as relative coordinates with respect
to the current position. Otherwise, the command is identical to
comments there, exception:
T
< 5, see above).
• The current coordinates will be clipped to [–524288 … 524287] (real image field size)
during runtime directly prior to use of the correction table.

5 multiplies the specified arc center coordinate
values by 16 (the permissible range of values is correspondingly reduced to
[–524288 … 524287]).
