Ctrl Command goto_xy
Function moves the output point (of the laser focus) along a 2D vector at jump speed from the
current position to the specified position (absolute coordinate values) within a two-
dimensional image field.
Call
goto_xy( X, Y )
Parameters
X, Y
Comments • If the jump speed has not been previously explicitly set via
set_jump_speed_ctrl, then the jump will be executed at a predefined jump speed of
10000 bits per ms.
• goto_xy (unlike the list commands
control signals and also doesn't set a jump delay.
• During the conversion of specified coordinate values into scan system output values,
any previously defined coordinate transformations, assigned correction tables etc. are
taken into account after successful microvectorization (see
DLL 520, OUT 519, coordinate transformation settings that were only collected until
then will possibly take effect via goto_xy (see

external stop signal (/STOP, /STOP2 or /Slave STOP) is present.
• The INTERNAL-BUSY status is set while goto_xy is executed.
• As of version DLL 527, OUT 529, the goto_xy command only returns to the application
after microvectorization has been executed. Therefore, you cannot execute any control
command, while a goto_xy-induced jump is being executing.

• The command returns only after microvectorization has been executed (see comments
above).
• The image field coordinates for the X and Y axes are specified as 20-bit values; in RTC
compatibility mode they are specified as 16-bit values (as with the RTC

RTC 5 multiplies the specified coordinate values by 16 (the permissible range of values
is correspondingly reduced to [–32768 ... 32767]).
