system into User mode.
a. Safety Shutter
The system will verify that the nofire sets the safety shutter, preventing it from opening.
b. Independent Clock
The system verifies that the independent clock agrees with the system clock within 1% over a
period of at least 100mS.
c. Inadvertent Exposure
The system verifies that the Safety EPLD can detect an inadvertent exposure, and that after an
inadvertent exposure, no laser will fire.
