Command
set_laser_delays
Function Sets the LaserOn Delay and the LaserOff Delay.
Call set_laser_delays( LaserOnDelay, LaserOffDelay )
Parameters LaserOnDelay LaserOn Delay. As a signed 32-bit value.
1 bit equals 1/64 µs.
Allowed value range: [–2
31
…+(2
21
–1)].
Values over (2
21
–1) are clipped.
LaserOffDelay LaserOff Delay. As an unsigned 32-bit value.
1 bit equals 1/64 µs.
Allowed value range: [0…+(2
21
–1)].
Values over (2
21
–1) are clipped.
Comments • The delays can be freely chosen within the allowed ranges. If LaserOffDelay <
LaserOnDelay , overlaps of LaserOn and LaserOff are automatically prevented during
processing of short vectors, see Section ”Automatic Delay Adjustments”, page 155.
• Observe the notes in Chapter 7.2.1 ”Laser Delays”, page 145.
• A negative LaserOnDelay value extends the total marking time.
• The XY2-100 Converter (Accessory) introduces a 10 µs runtime latency to scan system
control. This runtime latency can be compensated by increasing the LaserOn Delay and
LaserOff Delay by 10 µs each.
• The default setting after load_program_file corresponds to
set_laser_delays( 640, 640 ) .
RTC4RTC6 Essentially similar functionality. In addition: increased value range.
In RTC4 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the specified delay values by 64.
The allowed value ranges decrease accordingly.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
In RTC5 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the values specified for LaserOnDelay and
LaserOffDelay by 32. The allowed value ranges decrease accordingly.
Version info Available as of DLL 600, OUT 600, RBF 600.
