Ctrl Command set_delay_mode
Function Turns the “Variable Polygon Delays” mode and the “Variable Jump Delays“ mode on or off
and sets some special scanner delay-related parameters as well as the 3D Z-Move mode.
Call set_delay_mode( VarPoly, DirectMove3D, EdgeLevel, MinJumpDelay, JumpLengthLimit )
Parameters Name Allowed Values Description
VarPoly > 0
= 0
Enables “Variable Polygon Delays” mode.
Disables “Variable Polygon Delays” mode.
Default setting.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
DirectMove3D
> 0
= 0
This parameter effects only 3D-applications.
The z output is changed directly (linearly) to its end
value during a jump.
The z output is changed to its end-value in such a way
that the focus is kept in one plane during the entire
jump.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
EdgeLevel 0…(2
32
–1).
1 bit equals 10
µs.
This parameter defines a maximum “laser on“ time for
the corners of a Polyline. If the Mark Delay is longer
than or equal to this value (because the angle  is
close to 180°, for instance), the laser is switched off
(after a LaserOff Delay) and a new Polyline is started.
This can be useful for preventing burn-in effects. The
EdgeLevel value must be smaller than twice the set
value for the Mark Delay, otherwise it has no effect.
See also Figure 40.
Note: To disable this feature, the EdgeLevel value must
be set to (2
32
–1) (default value).
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
MinJumpDelay 0…(2
32
–1).
1 bit equals 10
µs.
Minimum Jump Delay that cannot be undercut for
jumps shorter than JumpLengthLimit (even for
jump vectors of zero length, see Figure 36). For jumps
longer than JumpLengthLimit , the MinJumpDelay has no
relevance. To avoid anomalies in the range of
MinJumpDelay , define a value for MinJumpDelay that is
not larger than the Jump Delay.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
