Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking
Function switches on pulse picking laser mode.
Call
set_pulse_picking( No )
Parameter
No
an unsigned 32-bit value; allowed range: [0 … 63]
= 0: LASER2 will output the LASERON signal
= 1…63: LASER2 will output each
No
th
LASER1 pulse
If
No
> 63,
No
is clipped to 63 (get_last_error return code
RTC5_PARAM_ERROR
)
Comments • For pulse picking laser mode, see page 138.
• The pulse picking signals will be outputted until a different laser mode gets set via
set_laser_mode (the pulse picking laser mode gets switched off if any other laser mode
switches on via set_laser_mode).
• You can not switch on pulse picking laser mode via set_laser_mode.

Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking_length
Function defines a constant pulse length for the “laser active“ LASER2 signal in pulse picking laser
mode.
Call
set_pulse_picking_length( Length )
Parameter
Length
pulse length as an unsigned 32-bit value
allowed range: [0 … 65535], higher bits are ignored,
1 bit equals 1/64 µs.
The default value after load_program_file is 0.
Comments • For the value to take effect, you must activate pulse picking laser mode via
set_pulse_picking and constant pulse length mode via set_laser_control( bit #7 = 1).
The value then takes immediate effect even during an active marking procedure.
• If pulse picking laser mode has been activated, but not constant pulse length mode
(set_laser_control( bit #7 = 0 )), then the pulse-picking signal will use the pulse length
of the LASER1 signal (see pulse picking laser mode on page 138).
• If neither pulse picking laser mode nor constant pulse length mode has been activated,
then the value
Length
is irrelevant (set_pulse_picking, set_laser_control and
set_pulse_picking_length can be activated in any desired order).
•After set_pulse_picking( 0 ), LASER2 will continuously output the LASERON signal, but
no constant pulse length signal.
