Description
Pulse Switch Setting (doesn't apply neither to laser mode 4 nor to laser mode 6):
The setting only affects those laser control signals (more precisely: those LASER1 or LASER2
"laser active" modulation pulses in CO
not yet fully processed at completion of the LASERON signal (see
= 0: The signals are cut off at the end of the LASERON signal.
= 1: The final pulse will fully execute despite completion of the LASERON signal.
Phase shift of the laser control signals (doesn't apply neither to laser mode 4 nor to laser mode 6)
= 0: no phase shift
= 1: CO mode: The LASER1 signal is exchanged with the LASER2 signal.
2
YAG modes: The LASER1 is shifted back 180° (half a signal period).
Enabling or disabling of laser control signals for "Laser active" operation
= 0: The "Laser active" laser control signals will be enabled.
= 1: The "Laser active" laser control signals will be disabled (then the laser output ports are in the
high impedance tristate mode).
LASERON signal level
= 0: The signal at the LASERON port will be set to active-high.
= 1: The signal at the LASERON port will be set to active-low.
LASER1/LASER2 signal level
= 0: The signals at the LASER1 and LASER2 output ports will be set to active-high.
= 1: The signals at the LASER1 and LASER2 output ports will be set to active-low.
Determines for laser_on_pulses_list
DIGITAL IN1 digital input) are to be counted at rising or falling edges:
= 0: at the falling edge
= 1: at the rising edge
= 0: Output synchronization is switched off (default setting).
= 1: Output synchronization is switched on (see
= 0: The constant pulse length mode is switched off (default setting).
= 1: The constant pulse length mode is switched on (see
set_pulse_picking_length)
