Ctrl Command set_defocus
Function
Determines a focus shift for 3D outputs.
Restriction
If the
Option "3D"
(see select_cor_table), then set_defocus has no effect. Nevertheless, the supplied focus
shift value is stored internally and takes effect as soon as a 3D correction table is assigned.
set_defocus( Shift )
Call
Shift
Parameters
Comments
• A focus shift causes a defocusing of the laser focus relative to the working plane.
A positive value increases the focal length of the
focus position, for example, for the control value (0|0|0) by about
d = Shift / K to the plane z = –d [mm].
For the calibration factor K, see
Calibration", page
System", page
• If the resulting total Z output value is too large, the z axis moves to the limit stop.
Make sure that this is avoided as far as possible, see get_galvo_controls.
• If set_defocus is called during output of a vector, then it is only executed directly
before the next list command. To avoid
is performed at jump speed. Length and duration of the jump depend on the changed
z control value. The duration can be calculated by get_galvo_controls.
