List Command
timed_para_mark_abs
Function
moves the laser focus for the specified marking duration along a 2D vector from the
current position to the specified position (absolute coordinate values) within a two-
dimensional image field and, simultaneously as well as linearly, changes the signal
parameter selected via
to the specified value.
Call
timed_para_mark_abs( X, Y, P, T )
Parameters
X, Y
absolute coordinates of the mark vector end point in
bits
as signed 32-bit
values; allowed range: [–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
applications. The current coordinates will be clipped to [–524288 … 524287]
(real image field size) during runtime directly prior to use of the correction
table.
P
End value of the signal parameter as an unsigned 32-bit value; allowed range:
dependent on the selection made via
Ctrl
parameter),
identical with
(
Value
parameter)
T
duration of the complete mark vector in
microseconds
(as a 64-bit IEEE
floating point value); allowed range: [0 … 167772160]; the parameter will be
rounded to an integer-multiple of 10; out-of-range values will be clipped.
If
T
< 5, then

Comments
• Unlike
timed_para_mark_abs
command doesn’t execute the
marking process with the specified (via
or
marking speed. Instead, the speed (i.e. the number of microsteps) will be adjusted so
that the vector lasts as long as specified (see
chapter 8.10 "Timed Vector and Arc
). The total marking time is (for
T
5) the sum of the specified
(rounded) time and the set delays.
•
timed_para_mark_abs
requires two list entries. During runtime, the command’s part
on the first list entry is executed as a short list command and afterward the second part
is executed as a normal list command. Thereby, both command parts are executed
within the same 10
µ
s clock, unless further (previous) short list commands induce a
• If
T
< 5, then
timed_para_mark_abs
. Then it requires
only one list entry.
• The “laser active” laser control signals are automatically turned on at the beginning of
the command (or remain on after a directly preceding mark or arc command). The
defined scanner and laser delays will thereby be taken into account (see
"Delay Settings for Synchronizing Scan Head and Laser Control", page 99
). Note that
other delays are executed in Sky writing mode (see
).
Exception: zero-length mark commands (see notes on
• During the conversion of specified coordinate values into scan system output values,
any previously defined coordinate transformations, assigned correction tables etc. are
taken into account after successful microvectorization (see
).
