| - | * **Keep path consistent** Uses generic rules to try to keep the beam path consistent (same direction and line traversal order), for each laser frame. In order to create this consistent path, the actual beam path taken in any given frame may not be very optimal. Depending on the object, this could produce a beam path that seems to jump randomly from one line to the next. (The viewer may not be aware of this, since the beam is blanked between lines.) | + | * **Keep path consistent** Uses generic rules to try to keep the beam path consistent (same direction and line traversal order), for each laser frame.
