 Basic Function Description
o Only relative to Process Cycle mode.
o Advance a Process Cycle Step once the duration or shots have completed.
o Input is leading edge sensitive.
o Only operational in Remote Control.
 Detailed Function Description
o This input function is used in conjunction with the Process Cycles feature of the
QUBE Fiber Laser. It is used to advance a Process Cycle on to the next step
when the active Process Cycle Step is configured to manual step mode, or the
step duration is infinite. The input function becomes active when the step
duration (either time or shots) has completed and the step is waiting to
advance. The Step input is active from the start of the step execution for steps
configured with an infinite duration (duration = 0).
o An output function can be configured on the Machine Interface to indicate that
the Process Cycle is waiting for a Step input in order to advance.
o If the function is not configured on the Machine Interface a Process Cycle
cannot be advanced using the Machine Interface. In this situation, steps can be
advanced using the serial protocol, or steps must be configured to
automatically advance.
o This input function is only operational in Remote Control.
o This function can be assigned to any of the seven inputs.

 Laser ON / Process Cycle Start - Input Function
 Laser ON / Process Cycle Active - Output Function
