ScanDocument GetEstimatedCycleTime

The "EstimateCycleTime" function is used to calculate the estimated cycle time in seconds for a marking job. This function calculates the cycle time for each ScanImage within the ScanDocument, taking into account the marking properties of each image. It then aggregates these individual cycle times to provide an estimation of the total cycle time for the entire marking job. This estimation can be helpful in planning and optimizing the marking process.

public float GetEstimatedCycleTime()

Return value

float

Estimated Cycle time in Seconds

Example

Copy

 scanDocument = scanDeviceManager.CreateScanDocument(GetselectedDeviceUniqueName(), DistanceUnit.Millimeters, false);

 if (scanDocument != null)

     VectorImage vectorImage = scanDocument.CreateVectorImage("image1", DistanceUnit.Millimeters);

     vectorImage.SetMarkSpeed(1000);
     vectorImage.SetJumpSpeed(2000);
     vectorImage.SetJumpDelay(100);
     vectorImage.SetMarkDelay(100);

     //Set Laser Delays
     vectorImage.SetLaserOnDelay(10);
     vectorImage.SetLaserOffDelay(10);

     CircleShape circleShape = new CircleShape();
     circleShape.CenterPoint.X = 0.0f;
     circleShape.CenterPoint.Y = 0.0f;
