Ctrl Command set_sky_writing_mode
Function Toggles the Sky Writing mode.
Call set_sky_writing_mode( Mode )
Parameters Mode Sky Writing mode.
As an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed value range: [0…(2
32
–1)].
= 0: Sky Writing is deactivated.
= 1: Sky Writing Mode 1 is activated.
= 2: Sky Writing Mode 2 is activated.
> 2: Sky Writing Mode 3 is activated.
Comments • Sky Writing Mode 2 and Sky Writing Mode 3 can only be activated (by Mode > 1), if:
– Sky Writing Mode 1 has been activated by set_sky_writing_para ( Timelag  1/8 )
before
– AND is still active
• After set_sky_writing_mode( Mode =0 ) , subsequent Sky Writing reactivation:
– Is possible by set_sky_writing_mode( Mode > 0 )
– Not possible after set_sky_writing_para ( Timelag < 1/8 )
• Each mode switch by set_sky_writing_mode becomes effective as of the next
list command.
• If you reactivate Sky Writing Mode 1 (switching from Mode = 0 to 1) during execution
of a list, then an already-begun Mark Command still executes to completion without
Sky Writing.
• If you deactivate Sky Writing Mode 1 (switching from Mode = 1 to 0) during execution
of a list, then a Mark Command already begun in Sky Writing Mode 1 still executes to
completion in Sky Writing Mode 1 and then is appended with a Mark Delay.
• Activation or deactivation of Sky Writing Mode 2 or Sky Writing Mode 3 (switching to
or from Mode = 2 or 3) is not possible if the BUSY list execution status is set. Then
set_sky_writing_mode is ignored (get_last_error return code RTC6_BUSY ). In contrast,
set_sky_writing_mode is executed when a list has been paused by set_wait.
