Ctrl Command disable_laser
Function deactivates the laser control of the RTC
®
4
Integration Pascal:
procedure disable_laser;
C:
void disable_laser(void);
Basic:
sub disable_laser()
Comments • This command disables the laser signals LASER1, LASER2 and LASERON. That means
pins (1), (2) (LASERON) and (3) of the 9-pin laser connector and pins (19) and (22) of
the LASER EXTENSION connector (on-board) are static.
In case pin (2) of the 9-pin laser connector is configured as signal ANALOG OUT2, the command
disable_laser will not have an effect on pin (2).
•Use the command enable_laser to re-enable the laser control.
• The command get_startstop_info (see page 85) (Bit #9) provides information about
the current status of the laser control.
• After initialization of the RTC
®
4 the laser control is active.

Ctrl Command dsp_start
Function resets the RTC

Integration Pascal:
procedure dsp_start;
C:
void dsp_start(void);
Basic:
sub dsp_start()
Comments • This command is not needed for normal operation. The DSP starts automatically after
the program file is loaded via the command load_program_file (page 96).
•The command dsp_start resets the RTC
®
4. This means all parameters are reset to their
default values. The laser focus is positioned in the center of the image field at the
point (0|0). If any correction file(s) were loaded previously, they will stay in the RTC
®
4
memory, but the select_cor_table settings are reset to default.
• After execution of the command dsp_start, the laser control is active.

Ctrl Command enable_laser
Function activates the laser control of the RTC
®
4
Integration Pascal:
procedure enable_laser;
C:
void enable_laser(void);
Basic:
sub enable_laser()
Comments • This command re-enables the laser signals LASER1, LASER2 and LASERON at the 9-pin
laser connector and at the LASER EXTENSION connector (on-board).
• The command get_startstop_info (see page 85) provides information about the
current status of the laser control. (Bit #9)
• After initialization of the RTC
®
4, the laser control is active.
