para_jump_abs
Function moves the output point (of the laser focus) along a 2D vector at jump speed 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 set_vector_control to the specified value.
Call
para_jump_abs( X, Y, P )
Parameters
X, Y
absolute coordinates of the jump 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 set_vector_control (
Ctrl
parameter),
identical with set_vector_control (
Value
parameter)
Comments • If vector-defined laser control has not been previously activated via set_vector_control,
then para_jump_abs will behave like jump_abs (see comments there). The parameter
P
will then be ignored.
• If vector-defined laser control is activated, then simultaneously with the motion of the
output point of the laser focus the signal parameter selected via set_vector_control
will be linearly varied from the last valid value to
P
(see "Vector-Defined Laser Control",
page 147).
• There is no abs mechanism for
P
.
P
will, if necessary, be clipped to the maximum allowed
value.
•If para_jump_abs is used along with position- and/or speed-dependent laser control
for the same control parameter, then the current value of
P
will be used as the basis of
the 100% value for laser control (see "Vector-Defined Laser Control", page 147).

5 new command
In RTC
®
4 compatibility mode, the RTC
®
5 multiplies the specified coordinate values by 16
(the permissible range of values is correspondingly reduced).
The parameter
P
does not have a RTC
®
4 compatibility mode. The original RTC
®
5 units
must be used.
