List Command
Function turns on the "laser active" laser control signals for a specified time interval.
Call
laser_on_list( Period )
Parameter
Period
Comments • As of Version OUT 531, bit #31 of Period is ignored (also see comments and version
info at laser_on_pulses_list).
• The laser control signals for "laser active" operation must first be selected with
set_laser_mode, defined via further commands, and enabled via
enable_laser
• While the laser control signals are turned on, the set position of the scanners is not
changed. The next list command will be executed when the programmed time interval
has passed.
• The currently set LaserOn delay is applied at the beginning of the programmed time
interval: The laser control signals turn on after a LaserOn delay.
– As with other mark commands (e.g. mark_abs), the laser control signals will not
explicitly turn off at the end of the time interval, but instead will only turn off with
