<p>The present invention relates to a method for determining the coordinates of an arbitrarily shaped pattern in a deflector system. The method basically comprises the steps of: moving the pattern in a first direction (X), calculating the position of the edge of the pattern by counting the number of micro sweeps, performed in a perpendicular direction (Y), until the edge is detected, determining a correction function for the surface reflecting variations in a third direction (Z) perpendicular to both the first (X) and the second (Y) directions, and determining the coordinates by relating the number of counted micro sweeps to the speed of the movement of the pattern using the correction function to compensate for variations in the third direction. The invention also relates to software implementing the method.</p> |
