Ctrl Command set_laser_mode
Function selects the laser control mode of the RTC
®
5
Call
set_laser_mode( Mode )
Parameter Mode as an unsigned 32-bit value
=0: CO
2
mode
=1: YAG mode1
=2: YAG mode2
=3: YAG mode3
= 4: laser mode 4
=5: YAG mode5
= 6: laser mode 6
Comments • The available laser signals depend on the selected laser control mode. Refer to
chapter 7.4 "Laser Control", page 128 for a detailed description.
• The command should be used only once at the program start.
Also see "Start of Operation", page 65.

Ctrl Command set_laser_off_default
Function defines the default output value for the ANALOG OUT1 and ANALOG OUT2 ports, as well
as the RTC
®
5’s 8-bit digital output port.
Call
set_laser_off_default( AnalogOut1, AnalogOut2, DigitalOut )
Parameters AnalogOut1,
AnalogOut2
12-bit values for analog output ports ANALOG OUT1 and ANALOG OUT2
(also see page 47) as unsigned 32-bit values. Higher bits are ignored
(exception:
AnalogOut1/2 = “–1“, see comments for set_port_default).
DigitalOut 8-bit value for the 8-bit digital output port (also see page 50) as an
unsigned 32-bit value. Higher bits are ignored (exception:
DigitalOut =
“–1“, see comments for set_port_default).
Comments • The default values can also be defined via the command set_port_default (also see
comments there).
RTC

4  RTC
®
5 new command
In RTC
®
4 compatibility mode, the RTC
®
5 multiplies the specified values for AnalogOut1
and
AnalogOut2 by 4 (the RTC
®
4’s analog outputs only handled 10-bit values).
