Thermal3 Command
plt synthesizer <dd> <ds> <msz> <ssz> <dpi> [invert] [overlap]

Variables dd The drum diameter in mm.
ds The drum speed in RPM.
msz The image mainscan size in mm.
ssz The image subscan size in mm.
dpi The image mainscan DPI.

Description Configure the internal engine synthesizer and the test pattern generator. The internal engine synthesizer is required to provide the newline, imaging and stroke clock signals and will need to know the number of swaths to image, the number of pixels per revolution, the number of pixels in the image and the stroke clock frequency. The test pattern generator is required to provide image data and will need to know the number of pixels in the image, whether or not the image data must be inverted and whether or not an extra scanline is required.

Note the following special configurations of the internal engine synthesizer. If the image subscan size is zero, the internal engine synthesizer will generate an infinite number of swaths. If the number of pixels in the image is equal to the number of pixels per revolution, the internal engine synthesizer will generate a gapless image.

The configuration can be updated as required but only takes affect for the "Image" plot control mode. Note that the configuration will not be updated if a plot is already in progress.

Note that if the source of the image timing is the internal engine synthesizer and the source of the image data is the test pattern generator, this monitor command will configure both the internal engine synthesizer and the test pattern generator.

Notes Thermal 1.0 / 1.7x equivalents:
  • The monitor command plt synthesizer <dd> <ds> <msz> <ssz> <dpi> [invert] [overlap] does not have an equivalent.

Thermal 2 equivalents:
  • The monitor command plt synthesizer <dd> <ds> <msz> <ssz> <dpi> [invert] [overlap] does not have an equivalent.
