– The import declarations were imported in your
software and the calling convention std_call
has been applied, see Chapter 6.2
”Initialization and Program Start-Up”, page 95.
(2) Take into account these command name changes
of the RTC6 command set:
– Do not generally change _rtc5_ to _rtc6_ !
– Change:
init_rtc5_dll to init_rtc6_dll
free_rtc5_dll to free_rtc6_dll
rtc5_count_cards to rtc6_count_cards
– Notice: Do not generally change set_rtc5_mode
to set_rtc6_mode – here see step 3!
(3) set_rtc6_mode is set automatically at program
start. Then an expanded parameter resolution is
available for
– z coordinates of 20 bits
– Laser Delays of 1/64 µs
In contrast, the control command
set_rtc5_mode ensures downward compatibility
of the parameters (“RTC5 Compatibility Mode“).
– Laser Delays:
In RTC5 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 board
multiplies the values specified for LaserOnDelay
and LaserOffDelay (of set_laser_delays)
automatically by 32. This also applies to the
values specified for LaserOnShift (of
set_sky_writing) and LaserOnShift (of
set_sky_writing_para).
– z coordinates:
In RTC5 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 board
multiplies the z coordinates and defocus values
(for example, Shift of set_defocus)
automatically by 16.
For further modifications and optimizations of your
code, see the following chapter.
Optional Steps and Notes on Further
Modification and Optimization
• Commands which have been removed from the
RTC6 command set or are no longer supported
must be removed or replaced in the program
code, see Chapter 2.13.2 ”Removed from RTC6
Command Set”, page 62.
• Check if command changes might affect your
user program, see Chapter 2.13.1 ”Changes to
the RTC6 Command Set”, page 62, and modify
your program code accordingly.
• Take into account the changed behavior of
load_program_file.
Notice: load_program_file now stops lists
without warning. The single-board command can
even be used again after a version conflict.
– Note on enhanced parameter resolution
Take into account the enhanced parameter
resolution of z coordinates when using
set_r
tc6_mode. S
ee also step 3, page 61.
– Note on changed time behavior
The replacement of the automatic delay
adjustment can result in faster time behavior
for short vectors.
By set_dsp_mode( 2 ) , the original RTC5 time
behavior can be restored, see set_dsp_mode.
