How to fine-tune your contour data positioning?

To reposition your contour data more accurately, two settings need to be verified.

• Image scale length / width
• AAS offset parameters (X,Y)

To accomplish above verifications, please perform following tests.

Image scale length / width

• Plot a rectangle of 500 x 500 mm, and practically measure the dimensions that were plotted.
• Measure the plot output in both X, Y directions, and enter these dimensions / values in the appropriate plotter menu.

Menu: Image scale length / Image scale width

For instructions how to use the menu / enter your values, please have a detailed look at our User Guide.

AAS offset parameters (X,Y)

How to verify the AAS X Offset, AAS Y Offset value?

• Print a small contour rectangle width the reference marks around it.
  
  
  
• Start the contour cutting task, and verify the contour positioning of the plot window.
  Depending on the position of that plot window, adapt the AAS X, Y values on panel accordingly.
  
  Example 1:
  
  The red window is your plot window. As you can see, we have to recalibrate our window in the X and Y direction.
  X: + 0.5mm, Y: +1mm
  
  Example 2:
  
  The green window is your plot window. As you can see, we have to recalibrate our window in the X and Y direction.
  X: + 0.5mm, Y: -1mm
