List Command jump_abs
Function fast movement of the mirrors ("jump") to the specified position
Parameters
xval,
yval
absolute coordinates of the vector end point in bits as signed 16-bit values.
Integration Pascal:
procedure jump_abs(xval, yval: smallint);
C:
void jump_abs(short xval, short yval);
Basic:
sub jump_abs(ByVal xval%, ByVal yval%)
Comments • The jump speed is set with the command set_jump_speed (see page 107).
• The laser is off during the jump.
• After a jump command, a jump delay is inserted.
• If a jump vector is followed by a zero jump vector, then the first JumpDelay is not
executed. In contrast, a JumpDelay is executed if a jump vector is followed by a zero
marking vector.

List Command jump_rel
Function fast movement of the mirrors ("jump") to the specified position
Parameters
dx, dy
relative coordinates of the vector end point in bits as signed 16-bit values.
Integration Pascal:
procedure jump_rel(dx, dy: smallint);
C:
void jump_rel(short dx, short dy);
Basic:
sub jump_rel(ByVal dx%, ByVal dy%)
Comments • The coordinates are relative to the current position.
• The maximum value for the absolute coordinates is ±32767 bits.
• The jump speed is set with the command set_jump_speed (see page 107).
• The laser is off during the jump.
• After a jump command, a jump delay is inserted.
• If a jump vector is followed by a zero jump vector, then the first JumpDelay is not
executed. In contrast, a JumpDelay is executed if a jump vector is followed by a zero
marking vector.
