Ctrl Command home_position
Function Activates the home jump mode (for the x axis and y axis) and defines the home position.
Call home_position( XHome, YHome )
Parameters XHome Absolute x coordinate of the home position. In bits.
As a signed 32-bit value.
Allowed value range: [–524,288…+524,287].
Larger values are clipped.
YHome Like XHome (analogously).
Comments • home_position defines the coordinates of a home jump to be executed, for example,
upon reaching the end of a list.
Accordingly, a home return to the last valid position is then executed again at start.
The home jump and home return are executed at jump speed.
• home_position is intended for laser systems that do not allow fast switching of the
laser. After calling home_position, the laser focus moves to the specified home
position whenever no list is executing or when a list has been paused by set_wait. A
home jump is also executed, if list execution is stopped by stop_execution or by an
external stop signal. The home jump itself (in contrary to a home return) cannot be
stopped.
• While a home jump or a home return is executed, the
INTERNAL-BUSY list execution status is set.
• A beam dump should be placed in the home position.
• The home jump mode is deactivated by home_position(0, 0) , even if it has been
activated by home_position_xyz.
RTC4RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
In RTC4 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the specified values for XHome and YHome
by 16. The allowed value range decreases accordingly.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
