Ctrl Command disable_laser
Function Disables the Signals for “Laser Active” Operation.
Call disable_laser()
Comments • disable_laser disables the Signals for “Laser Active” Operation at the output ports
LASER1, LASER2 and LASERON (the signals are set to their respective “Off” level).
Pin (02) of the LASER Connector is then at a fixed level. However, standby signals
activated with set_standby or set_standby_list continue to be outputted by the
LASER1 and LASER2 output ports. If the standby signals are deactivated, also pin (01)
and pin (09) of the LASER Connector and pins (19) and (22) of the EXTENSION 2
socket connector are at a fixed level after disable_laser.
• The Signals for “Laser Active” Operation can also be disabled by set_laser_control and
reenabled by set_laser_control or enable_laser.
• After initialization of the RTC6 with load_program_file, the laser control is
deactivated and absolutely requires set_laser_control for activation.
• If disable_laser results in an RTC6_TIMEOUT error (for example, if no program file has
been loaded), the LASER1, LASER2 and LASERON output ports can only be reactivated
with set_laser_control after a load_program_file command.
• By get_startstop_info ( Bit #9 ), the current status of the Laser Control Signals
(globally enabled, yes or no) can be queried.
• By get_startstop_info ( Bit #14 ), the status “laser enabled” (yes or no) can be
queried.
