Figure 102: Scanner Delay Settings

Delays:

Jump: Delay after jump.

Mark: Delay at the end of the mark line.

Poly: Delay in polyline corners. Optimize PolyDelay reduces the duration depending on the angle.

LaserOn: Delay between the start of movement of the scan head and the switching on of the laser.

LaserOff: Delay between the end of movement of the scan head and the switching off the laser.

All: The All buttons apply the related value to all 255 pens.

Further details can be found in the Delays subchapter.

Speeds:

Jump: Jump speed of the selected pen. Min and max values are defined in the optic settings. Pen change is usually applied before jump. With change of the field size, the jump speed is changed accordingly (the speed in unit bit/s will remain the same).

Wobble: The wobble feature is described in the sub chapter Wobble Settings.

IO: Each pen can send an 8 bit signal entered to the 8 bit port.

Calculate_Delay

Figure 103: Calculate Delay Dialog

Calc Delays: If this button is pressed a dialog opens where the time lag value [µs] of the used scanner has to be entered. Based on this value the five delay values are recalculated. The resulting delays then can be used as a base for own optimizations. The time lag is a scanner-dependent parameter and should be found within the scanner specification.

note

The jump speed is saved in the unit bit/s. This means that the displayed value in mm/s will change if the Field Size is changed.
