10 RTC6 Commands

Ctrl Command set_laser_control
Function Defines and enables or disables the Laser Control Signals.
Call
set_laser_control( Ctrl )
Parameters
Ctrl
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Bit #0
(LSB)
Pulse Switch Setting (does not concern Laser Mode 4 or Laser Mode 6).
The setting only affects those LASER1 or LASER2 “laser active” modulation
pulses in CO
2
Mode or LASER1 Q-Switch pulses in the YAG modes) that are not
yet fully processed at completion of the LASERON signal, see Figure 52 and
Figure 53.
= 0: The signals are cut off at the end of the LASERON signal.
= 1: The final pulse fully executes despite completion of the
LASERON signal. See Pulse Completion, page 186.
Bit #1 Phase shift of the Laser Control Signals (does not concern Laser Mode 4 or
Laser Mode 6).
= 0: No phase shift.
= 1: CO
2
Mode: The LASER1 signal is exchanged with the LASER2 signal.
YAG modes: The LASER1 is shifted back half a signal period.
Bit #2 Enabling or disabling of Signals for “Laser Active” Operation.
= 0: The Signals for “Laser Active” Operation are enabled.
= 1: The Signals for “Laser Active” Operation are disabled
(the signals are set to their respective “Off” level).
Bit #3 Level of LASERON signal.
= 0: Is set to active-HIGH.
= 1: Is set to active-LOW.
If there is no change of the pin assignment with config_laser_signals, the
LASERON signal corresponds to the signal at the LASERON pin, see Figure 17.
Bit #4 Levels of LASER1 signal and LASER2 signal.
= 0: Are set to active-HIGH.
= 1: Are set to active-LOW.
If there is no change of the pin assignment with config_laser_signals, the
LASER1 signal (LASER2 signal) corresponds to the signal at the LASER1 pin
(LASER2 pin), see Figure 17.
Bit #5 Determines for laser_on_pulses_list whether external signal pulses (at the
LASER Connector’s DIGITAL IN1 digital input port) are to be counted at rising
or falling edges:
= 0: At the falling edge.
= 1: At the rising edge.
Bit #6 = 0: Synchronization is switched off (default setting).
See Chapter 7.4.10 ”Synchronization of the RTC6 Clock Cycle and an
External Clock Signal”, page 207.
= 1: Synchronization is switched on.
