Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking
Function Switches on Pulse Picking Laser Mode.
Call set_pulse_picking( No )
Parameters No As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed value range: [0…63].
= 0: LASER2 puts out the LASERON signal.
= 1…63: LASER2 puts out each No
th
LASER1 pulse.
No > 63: No is clipped to 63
(get_last_error return code RTC6_PARAM_ERROR ).
Comments • For Pulse Picking Laser Mode, see Chapter 7.4.8 ”Pulse Picking Laser Mode”, page 196.
• The pulse picking signals are outputted until a different laser mode gets set by
set_laser_mode (the Pulse Picking Laser Mode gets switched off if any other
laser mode switches on by set_laser_mode).
• You can not switch on Pulse Picking Laser Mode by set_laser_mode.

Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking_length
Function Defines a constant pulse length for the LASER2 signal in Pulse Picking Laser Mode.
Call set_pulse_picking_length( Length )
Parameters Length Pulse length. As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed value range: [0…65,535]. Higher bits are ignored.
1 bit equals 1/64 µs.
The default value after load_program_file is 0.
Comments • For the value to take effect, the following must have been activated:
– Pulse Picking Laser Mode by set_pulse_picking
– The “constant pulse length” mode by set_laser_control( Bit #7 = 1 ).
The value then takes immediate effect, even if a marking is carried out.
• If Pulse Picking Laser Mode has been activated, but not constant pulse length mode
(set_laser_control( Bit #7 = 0 )), then the pulse-picking signal uses the pulse length
of the LASER1 signal, see Chapter 7.4.8 ”Pulse Picking Laser Mode”, page 196.
• If neither Pulse Picking Laser Mode nor constant pulse length mode has been activated,
then the value Length is irrelevant (set_pulse_picking, set_laser_control and
set_pulse_picking_length can be activated in any desired order).
• After set_pulse_picking( 0 ), LASER2 is continuously output the LASERON signal, but
no constant pulse length signal.
