Ctrl Command laser_signal_on
Function turns on the “laser active” laser control signals immediately
Call
laser_signal_on()
Comments • The laser control signals for “laser active” operation must first be selected with
set_laser_mode, defined via further commands, and enabled via set_laser_control or
enable_laser before they can be switched on with laser_on_list (see page 128).
• The command is intended for turning on the laser directly, e.g. for alignment purposes.
• The “laser active” laser control signals must be turned off with the command
laser_signal_off.
• The command will be ignored (get_last_error return code:
RTC5_BUSY
) if the board’s
BUSY status is currently set (list is being processed or has been halted via pause_list) or
the board’s INTERNAL-BUSY status is currently set. In contrast, the command is
executed when a list has been paused via set_wait (PAUSED status set).
• Check the beam path before turning on the laser!
