Ctrl Command set_laser_mode
Function selects the laser control mode of the RTC
Parameter
mode
Integration Pascal:
C:
Basic:
Comments • The available laser signals depend on the selected laser control mode. Please refer to
chapter 4.6 "Laser Control", page 32
• The command should be used only once at the program start.

List Command set_laser_timing
Function defines the output period and the pulse widths for the laser signals LASER1 and LASER2
Parameters
half_period
pulse_width1,
pulse_width2
time_base
Integration Pascal:
C:
Basic:
Comments • The time base setting applies only for the parameters of this command.
• In general, it is recommended to set the time base to 8 MHz.
A time base of 1 MHz should only be chosen if necessary.
