Normal List
Command
mark_abs
Function Moves the laser focus at mark speed along a 2D vector from the current position to the
specified position (absolute coordinate values) within a 2D Image Field.
Call
mark_abs( X, Y )
Parameters
X
Absolute x coordinate of the mark vector end point. In bits.
As a signed 32-bit value.
Allowed value range: [–268,435,456…+268,435,455].
Out-of-range values are clipped to the boundary values.
The complete value range is only usable as a virtual Image Field for example,
for (enabled) Processing-on-the-fly applications.
Y
Like
X
(analogously).
Comments • If the mark speed has not been previously explicitly set by set_mark_speed or
set_mark_speed_ctrl, then the marking is executed at a predefined mark speed of
1,000 bits/ms.
• The Signals for “Laser Active” Operation are automatically turned on at the beginning
of the marking (or remain on after a directly preceding [*]mark[*] Command or
“Arc” Command). The defined Scanner Delays and Laser Delays are thereby taken into
account, see Chapter 7.2 ”Delay Settings – Coordinating Scan Head Control and Laser
Control”, page 145. Note that other delays are executed in Sky Writing mode.
Exception: zero-length [*]mark[*] Commands, see Section ”Notes”, page 149.
RTC4RTC6 Unchanged functionality. In addition: increased value range.
In RTC4 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the values specified for
X
and
Y
by 16.
The allowed value range decreases accordingly.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality. In addition: increased value range.
