BlankTime and other timing in CW

Hi,

Since all of you that are using CW must have figured this out, I ask all of you ....

I can't the timing right (movement<>visualize slice)

If I use the default setting, this is what happens.

1 - exposure of slice
2 - lift-movement starts
3 - DURING the lift, the next exposure starts!

On the g-code tab there is "<Delay> %d$BlankTime" on the lift movement (not found in Options-tab)

Do I need to experiment with this?
Is this how it needs to be implementet since the computer is unaware of when the lift-movement is compleated.


Could someone please explain how you got around to set this right, and what I'm missing?

You're on the right track. You can use the auto-calc button to generate a timing for the distance and speed of your lift/peel. You need to make sure it's long enough so that the lift seqeunce has time to complete before the next slice exposes.
