If you need the laser intensity for only one resolu-
tion, choose Tools – Plot Lightbar. In the upcom-
ing menu you need to select the desired resolu-
tion, the start intensity of the test row (First Light)
and the laser gradations between the samples
(Increment). Leave Plot speed for this moment on
Fast and select the way of transferring the data to
your plotter, as described above.
If you want to test more than one resolution at the
same time, go to „Tools – Multi Resolution Light-
bar“. There you can configure a test row as be-
fore, but you have the opportunity to select 4 dif-
ferent resolutions with different start light. A
sample of a test row is coming with the plotter
and will give you a hint at what point to start
your own testings.
Test dimension precision: If there are very
special requirements on the plotter precision -
and suitable measuring devices assumed - the
plotter can be calibrated both in the drum and
spindle direction. For this purpose the Tool /
Generate Test Grid menu creates a grid with
lines each 10 mm. You may measure the actual
line spacing and enter the results into the
columns Error on drum diameter and Drum lin-
earity. As you will rarely need these micrometer
range corrections we are not going more into
details at this point. If you need further assist-
ance please call our support.
We prefer the test grid, which is generated with Tools - Generate Test Grid to external produced test
patterns, because this way all sources of errors from previous preparation steps are eliminated (error in
design, error in transformation etc.). Insert the desired length and width at Drum axis and Drum circum-
ference. Line width, should be set to 2 mil..
If you click „OK“ the picture will be generated internally.
To continue click on the triangular START-button or press F5.
In the next dialog please set the desired resolution, control the corresponding laser light intensity and
chose whether you want to mirror or turn the image or make a negative plot of the image.
After that you have again the choice between the 3 ways of transferring the data to the plotter :Upload
to photoplotter - start on device, Upload to photoplotter - start direct: and Generate USB key file.
