Ctrl Command set_rtc5_mode
Function Sets RTC5 Compatibility Mode as the current RTC6 DLL operation mode.
Call set_rtc5_mode()
Comments • RTC5 Compatibility Mode is an optional operation mode of the RTC6 DLL. It has been
made available so that user programs written for the RTC5 can also be processed by
the RTC6 (to a large extent) without needing to modify the programming code.
However, a prerequisite here is that the program can only contain RTC5 commands
that also exist with unchanged functionality as RTC6 commands. In the command
descriptions of this user manual such changes are noted in the “RTC5RTC6” row.
See also Chapter 2.12.2 ”Adapting RTC5 Source Code for the RTC6 PCIe Board”, step 3,
page 61.
• In RTC5 Compatibility Mode as RTC6 DLL operation mode Z coordinates and defocus
values (for example, parameter Shift of set_defocus) must be specified with a
parameter resolution of 16 bits. These values are automatically multiplied by 16.
The allowed value ranges decrease accordingly.
• In RTC5 Compatibility Mode as RTC6 DLL operation mode the laser delay values
(parameter LaserOnDelay and LaserOffDelay of set_laser_delays) must be specified
with a parameter resolution of 1/2 µs. These values are automatically multiplied by 32.
The allowed value ranges decrease accordingly.
• RTC6 Standard Mode is predefined as the default RTC6 DLL operation mode and can
also be specified subsequently by set_rtc6_mode.
• The current RTC6 DLL operation mode can be queried by get_rtc_mode.
• set_rtc5_mode is available even without explicit access rights to a particular RTC6
board.
• set_rtc5_mode is not available as a multi-board command.
• The scope of set_rtc5_mode is not board-specific, but rather global to the RTC6 DLL
and all RTC6 boards to which the user program has access rights.
• The board-specific error variables LastError and AccError (see Chapter 6.8 ”Error
Handling”, page 130) are neither generated nor altered by set_rtc5_mode.
RTC4RTC6 New command.
RTC5RTC6 Unchanged functionality.
Version info Available as of DLL 600, OUT 600, RBF 600.
