| 3 | This page is intended to be full documentation of the LGC (laser g-code?) file format as used by LAOS. All dimensions are in uM, so multiply your millimeter values by 1000. |
||

| 5 | An LGC file looks like this: |
||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | <pre> |
||
| 8 | 0 0 0 |
||
| 9 | 7 100 10000 |
||
| 10 | 7 101 10000 |
||
| 11 | 0 1000 1000 |
||
| 12 | 1 1000 11000 |
||
| 13 | 1 11000 11000 |
||
| 14 | 1 11000 1000 |
||
| 15 | 1 1000 1000 |
||
| 16 | </pre> |
||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | Each command line of an LGC file starts with a number, which is the command. Depending on the command given, the file can then have a number of parameters, seperated by spaces to tell the command what to actually do. |
||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | h2. 0 - Move |
||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | <pre>0 1000 1000 |
||
| 23 | 0 X Y </pre> |
||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | The 0 Command moves the laser head to the coordinates specified with the laser turned off. The command above will move the laser head to X=1mm, Y=1mm |
||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | h2. 1 - Cut |
||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | <pre>1 10000 10000 |
||
| 30 | 1 X Y </pre> |
||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | The 1 Command moves the laser head to the coordinates specified with the laser turned on. The command will activate the laser, then will move the laser head to X=10mm, Y=10mm, cutting all the way |

| 34 | h2. 2 - Move Z |
||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | <pre>2 10000 |

| 37 | 2 Z</pre> |
||
