Normal micro_vector_abs
List Command
Function moves the output point (of the laser focus) via a hard jump (without microvectorization)
directly from the current position to the specified position (absolute coordinate values)
within a two-dimensional image field.
Call
micro_vector_abs( X, Y, LasOn, LasOff )
Parameters
X, Y
LasOn,
LasOff
Comments • For information on microvector command usage, also see
• 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
• The microvector always executes as a hard jump.
• Via LasOn  0 and LasOff  0, you can set a new LaserOn or LaserOff delay for each
individual microvector. Each delay will thereby get set at the end of the clock period in
which the new position actually gets outputted (this output clock cycle might be
delayed by a preceding scanner delay).
• Negative values (LasOn < 0 and LasOff < 0) don't affect laser delays. Hereby, the laser
can remain on or off across multiple clock periods (mark and jump simulation).
• Delays set with LasOn and LasOff only apply to the execution of microvectors. For
execution of normal mark and arc commands (such as mark_abs), only the laser delays
defined via
parameter from set_laser_delays.
• The optional XY2-100 converter (see
scan-system control. This runtime latency can be compensated by increasing the
LaserOn delay and LaserOff delay by 10 µs each.

absolute coordinates of the micro vector end point in bits as signed 32-bit
values; allowed range: [–8388608 ... 8388607] (out-of-range values will be
edge-clipped). The complete value range [–8388608 ... 8388607] is only
usable as a virtual image field e.g. for (enabled) Processing-on-the-fly
applications. The current coordinates will be clipped to [–524288 ... 524287]
(real image field size) during runtime directly prior to use of the correction
