Normal
List Command
arc_rel
Function
moves the laser focus from the current position at marking speed along an arc with the
specified angle and center point (relative coordinate values) within a two-dimensional
image field.
Call
arc_rel( dX, dY, Angle )
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 ° [–360.0° … +360.0°] as 64-bit IEEE floating point value
(positive angle values correspond to clockwise angles)
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
(see the
comments there).
• The current coordinates will be clipped to [–524288 … 524287] (real image field size)
during runtime directly prior to use of the correction table.

RTC

5 unchanged functionality (except for the extended range of values).
In RTC
®
4 compatibility mode, the RTC
®
5 multiplies the specified arc center coordinate
values by 16 (the permissible range of values is correspondingly reduced to
[–524288 … 524287]).
