This way the output speed of the figure is independent of the DAC as well as of the
laser system in use. The animation speed of the displayed figure remains the same.
If a short stutter is recognized on output, a slight adjustment of the fps rate can fix
this.
6.4.7. Scroll-Bar (Frame Selection):
The scroll-bar below the button “Frames per Second” is used for changing between
the single frames of a figure. The respective frame-number is displayed in the info box
of the Figure Editor in the lower left corner (See Fig. 44).
6.4.8. Buttons for editing the frame display order:
The buttons below the frame selection scrollbar specify the running order and
behaviour of the frames playing. With the three buttons
“right”,
“left” and
“back and forth”
the direction of display of the frames can be specified.
The “Loop” button sets the repetition of the frames to loop.
If the direction of display is set to “back and forth”, the frames may run
asynchronously after a while if the frame rate is defined in combination with the unit
“bpm” (See 6.4.6), as the first and the last frame are doubling on output with this
method.
The button on the left activates a cutting tool, which can be used for splitting
up longer animated figures. The active frame is used as cutting point, and this frame
becomes the first frame of the second figure and the last one of the first figure.
File (Buttons Save, Save As and 6.5.
Save All)
These buttons are used to save the created
figure(s) (Fig. 47).
6.5.1. Save
Saves the active figure. If this figure has already
been given a name and has been saved already, the figure is saved automatically,
overwriting the existing file without notice. If no file name has been given and the
