IPG PHOTONICS | USING YOUR DEVICE
Standalone Mode (modulation and gate control disabled)
The value of pump LD current (controls output power) is controlled by:
sending a RS-232 command, or
sending an Ethernet command, or
using control buttons on the touch-screen (in LOCAL control mode)
Modulation Mode
The value of pump LD current is controlled as in the above standalone mode.
Laser emission is turned on/off by the user-generated "modulation" signal applied to pins 15-16 of
External Interface Connector.
Gate Mode
The value of pump LD current is controlled as in the above standalone mode.
Laser emission is controlled both, externally and internally - the user-generated "gate" signal
applied to pins 15-16 of External Interface Connector starts and stops internal generation of pulses
External (Analog) Power Control
The value of pump LD current value is controlled by the voltage applied between pins 12 and 14 of
the External Interface Connector (see Table 4: 24-pin Connector Pinout).
Pulse sequence generation, modulation and gating are performed as in corresponding modes
above.
Pulse Waveform (Optional Feature)
Arbitrary waveform pulses can be created and stored in the Pulse Profiles library.
Pulse sequences (combinations of pulse profiles, delays and repeats) can be created and stored in
Pulse Sequences library.
Pulses can be started by emission On command/signal (when Gate Mode is disabled) or by “gate”
signal applied to Pins 15-16 of External Interface Connector (when Gate Mode is enabled).
Waveform Mode cannot be selected if either External (Analog) Control or Modulation Mode is
enabled.
