Figure 71: Extras Settings Dialog

Motion Controller(s): Select the desired motion type from the drop down list. This value is corresponding to the value in the file sc_motion_settings.txt file. Please refer to the chapter Motion Controller for further information. If you choose entry 0, the motion control will be deactivated. For motion type 8 and 14 (stepper motor), there is a motion settings GUI which can be accessed by the button "Motion settings dialog".

Motion Control:

Jog Stepwidth: Default value for the step width that is used for the big Jog movements (-- or ++ see job dialog).

Flash Font Codepage: Here, you can choose which font code page should be saved to the Flash of a USC-2/-3 card. This is necessary and used if you want to change dynamic text of a serial number (or barcode, DateTime etc.) on the Flash.

Teach Mode: This block is related to the teaching / relocating mode. Using this mode, it is possible to teach reference positions for a job that are related to a specific work piece. When this work piece is exchanged and the new one has a different position and / or rotation angle comparing to the preceding one, it is possible to modify the job so that it fits to the new position. To do that, the relocating function can be used. The parameters that can be defined here influence the teaching / relocation behaviour in the following ways.

Normal Stepwidth: Defines the normal step width that is used in the teaching / relocating dialog to move the laser pointer

Fine Stepwidth: Defines the smaller, more exact step width that is used in the teaching / relocating dialog to move the laser pointer

Use two reference points: When this box is checked, the relocation can be done using two reference points. With one point it is possible to equalize a work pieces translation in parallel to the preceding position only. When two reference points are used, a rotation can be calculated too. The new position of the work piece doesn't need to be exactly parallel to the preceding one.

note

An output pin that is toggled every time the teaching / relocating dialog is opened and closed can be defined in IO Settings (e.g. switch a camera on and off).

Advanced Options:

Enable Styles property page (2D): Enables the 2D styles property page.

Improved Beam Compensation: Activates improved Beam Compensation algorithm for Hatching and Beam Comped Copy.

Enable Dynamic Grayscale Map: Activates a dynamic System PixelMap. Three different modes of interpolation are available in the drop down menu: Linear, Cubic or Hermite.

Improved Bitmap Handling: Enables the bitmap advanced mode. Further settings can be made at Pen Settings Bitmap.When activated, several settings necessary for bitmap marking will automatically be made which formerly had to be made manually. In addition, the bitmap tab in your pen will be adapted to present clear parameters for bitmap optimization.
