Ctrl Command set_laser_control
Function defines and enables or disables the laser control signals
Call
set_laser_control( Ctrl )
Parameter Ctrl (as an unsigned 32-bit value):
Bit # Description
Bit #0 (LSB) Pulse Switch Setting (doesn’t apply neither to laser mode 4 nor to laser mode 6):
The setting only affects those laser control signals (more precisely: those LASER1 or LASER2
“laser active” modulation pulses in CO
2
mode or LASER1 Q-Switch pulses in the YAG modes) that are
not yet fully processed at completion of the LASERON signal (see figure 48 and figure 49).
= 0: The signals are cut off at the end of the LASERON signal.
= 1: The final pulse will fully execute despite completion of the LASERON signal.
Bit #1 Phase shift of the laser control signals (doesn’t apply neither to laser mode 4 nor to laser mode 6)
= 0: no phase shift
=1: CO
2
mode: The LASER1 signal is exchanged with the LASER2 signal.
YAG modes: The LASER1 is shifted back 180° (half a signal period).
Bit #2 Enabling or disabling of laser control signals for “Laser active” operation
= 0: The “Laser active” laser control signals will be enabled.
= 1: The “Laser active” laser control signals will be disabled (then the laser output ports are in the
high impedance tristate mode).
Bit #3 LASERON signal level
= 0: The signal at the LASERON port will be set to active-high.
= 1: The signal at the LASERON port will be set to active-low.
Bit #4 LASER1/LASER2 signal level
= 0: The signals at the LASER1 and LASER2 output ports will be set to active-high.
= 1: The signals at the LASER1 and LASER2 output ports will be set to active-low.
Bit #5 Determines for laser_on_pulses_list whether external signal pulses (at the LASER connector’s
DIGITAL IN1 digital input) are to be counted at rising or falling edges:
= 0: at the falling edge
= 1: at the rising edge
Bit #6 = 0: Output synchronization is switched off (default setting).
= 1: Output synchronization is switched on (see page 149)
Bit #7 = 0: The constant pulse length mode is switched off (default setting).
= 1: The constant pulse length mode is switched on (see page 138 and
set_pulse_picking_length)
Bits #8-15 Reserved.
Bit #16 PowerOK of head A’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #17 TempOK of head A’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #18 PosAck of head A’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #19 PowerOK of head A’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #20 TempOK of head A’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #21 PosAck of head A’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #22 PowerOK of head B’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #23 TempOK of head B’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #24 PosAck of head B’s X axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #25 PowerOK of head B’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #26 TempOK of head B’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #27 PosAck of head B’s Y axis is used for laser-signal auto-suppression
Bit #28 = 1: In case of error, automatic monitoring (laser-signal auto-suppression) will automatically
generate a /STOP signal (list will stop, laser control signals get permanently switched off).
Bits #29-31 Reserved.
