The OFF state is entered if an Alarm condition occurs.
RAMPING DOWN State
When in the RAMPING UP or ON states, the RAMPING DOWN state is entered after
receiving a Laser STANDBY command.
The RAMPING DOWN State automatically sequences to the STANDBY state after the
ramp down duration has elapsed. The ramp down duration is determined by the active
parameter set.
The OFF state is entered if an Alarm condition occurs.

11 Machine Interface Reference
11.1 Overview
The Machine Interface for the QUBE Fiber Laser consists of seven inputs and seven outputs.
They are available to Laser Integrators on connector PL5 as shown in Table 10. Each input
and output can be configured to perform a specific function selected from a list of available
functions. This configuration can be changed to suite the laser’s operation. The default
configuration should be suitable for the majority of applications, but the configurable flexibility
allows laser integrators to tailor the interface to their application if required.
This section describes setting up the Machine Interface on the redPOWER QUBE Fiber
Laser using the default configuration. SM-S00499, Fiber Laser Serial Communications
Protocol is available to explain how to reconfigure the Machine Interface functionality if the
default configuration does not suit the required application.
