Normal timed_para_mark_abs
List Command
Function moves the laser focus for the specified marking duration along a 2D vector from the
current position to the specified position (absolute coordinate values) within a two-
dimensional image field and, simultaneously as well as linearly, changes the signal
parameter selected via

Comments • Unlike para_mark_abs, the timed_para_mark_abs command doesn't execute the
marking process with the specified (via
marking speed. Instead, the speed (i.e. the number of microsteps) will be adjusted so
that the vector lasts as long as specified (see
Commands", page
(rounded) time and the set delays.
• timed_para_mark_abs requires two list entries. During runtime, the command's part
on the first list entry is executed as a short list command and afterward the second part
is executed as a normal list command. Thereby, both command parts are executed
within the same 10 µs clock, unless further (previous) short list commands induce a

• If T < 5, then timed_para_mark_abs behaves like para_mark_abs. Then it requires
only one list entry.
• The "laser active" laser control signals are automatically turned on at the beginning of
the command (or remain on after a directly preceding mark or arc command). The
defined scanner and laser delays will thereby be taken into account (see
"Delay Settings for Synchronizing Scan Head and Laser Control", page
other delays are executed in Sky writing mode (see
Exception: zero-length mark commands (see notes on
• 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

set_vector_control
absolute coordinates of the mark 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
table.
