Normal timed_jump_abs
List Command
Function moves the output point (of the laser focus) for the specified jump duration along a 2D
vector from the current position to the specified position (absolute coordinate values)
within a two-dimensional image field.
Call
timed_jump_abs( X, Y, T )
Parameters
X, Y
T
Comments • Unlike jump_abs, the timed_jump_abs command doesn't execute the jump with the
specified (via
speed (i.e. the number of microsteps) will be adjusted so that the vector lasts as long
as specified (see
jump time is (for T  5) the sum of the specified (rounded) time and the set delays.
• The "laser active" laser control signals are off during the jump (if necessary, they will be
switched off before the jump).
• After a jump command, a (variable) jump delay is inserted. Exception: a zero-length
jump vector's subsequent (variable) jump delay will not be executed. However, the
command itself still requires a 10 µs clock cycle for execution.
• 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

usable as a virtual image field e.g. for (enabled) Processing-on-the-fly
