Command
set_laser_power
Function Synchronizes laser power outputs at the output ports (ANALOG OUT1,
ANALOG OUT2, 8-bit digital output port, 16-bit digital output port) and Laser Delays.
Call set_laser_power( Port, Power )
Parameters Port Output port for which a laser power value Power is to be defined.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed values:
= 0: ANALOG OUT1 output port.
= 1: ANALOG OUT2 output port.
= 2: 8-bit digital output port (EXTENSION 2 Socket Connector).
= 3: 16-bit digital output port (EXTENSION 1 Socket Connector).
> 3: set_laser_power is not executed
(get_last_error return code RTC6_PARAM_ERROR ).
Power Desired laser power value.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed values:
For Port = 0: 12-bit values [0…4095].
For Port = 1: 12-bit values [0…4095].
For Port = 2: 8-bit values [0…255].
For Port = 3: 16-bit values [0…65,535].
Out-of-range values are clipped to the boundary values.
get_last_error return code RTC6_PARAM_ERROR .
Comments • In particular, the set_laser_power command is to be used with excelliSCAN
scan heads, if laser power needs to be changed within a Polyline.
• The set_laser_power command is also necessary, for example, if short vectors need
unequal laser power and Laser Delays extend beyond the next vector (in particular in
DSP mode 3).
RTC4RTC6 New command.
In RTC4 Compatibility Mode, the RTC6 multiplies the specified Power value for Port = 0 and
Port = 1 by 4. The allowed value range decreases accordingly.
RTC5RTC6 New command.
