innovators for industry
Ctrl Command enable_laser
Function Enables the Signals for “Laser Active” Operation.
Call enable_laser()
Comments • After a hardware reset (and after load_program_file), set_laser_control must be
called to activate the LASER1, LASER2 and LASERON output ports and define the signal
level, see Chapter 7.4 ”Laser Control”, page 184. Otherwise, enable_laser has no
effect.
• After initialization of the RTC6 with load_program_file, the Laser Control Signals are
deactivated. For first-time activation, set_laser_control must be called (see above).
After a subsequent disabling by disable_laser (or set_laser_control), the
enable_laser (or set_laser_control) command can be used for reenabling.
• Even if the Laser Control Signals have been enabled with enable_laser or
set_laser_control, they are not outputted without further commands,
see Chapter 7.4 ”Laser Control”, page 184.
• 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” can be queried.
RTC4RTC6 Basically unchanged functionality.
In some circumstances, set_laser_control must be called before enable_laser (see above).
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
