Connecting Straight-Line Move Segments

You can cover the entire area of the wafer by varying the size of the raster area. You can increase the resolution of the scanning path by shortening the distance of the vertical straight-line moves. However, remember that increasing the resolution also increases the cycle time.

Raster Scanning Using Straight Lines Algorithm

The following figure shows the basic algorithm for raster scanning for straight-line moves applicable to both C/C++ and LabVIEW code.

The raster scanning algorithm for straight-line moves stops the motors after every segment of the move, so the cycle time is longer than other methods.
