Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking
Function switches on pulse picking laser mode.
Call
set_pulse_picking( No )
Parameter
No
Comments • For pulse picking laser mode, see
• The pulse picking signals will be outputted until a different laser mode gets set via
set_laser_mode
switches on via set_laser_mode).
• You can not switch on pulse picking laser mode via set_laser_mode.

Ctrl Command set_pulse_picking_length
Function defines a constant pulse length for the "laser active" LASER2 signal in pulse picking laser
mode.
Call
set_pulse_picking_length( Length )
Parameter
Length
Comments • For the value to take effect, you must activate pulse picking laser mode via
set_pulse_picking
The value then takes immediate effect even during an active marking procedure.
• If pulse picking laser mode has been activated, but not constant pulse length mode
(set_laser_control( bit #7 = 0 )), then the pulse-picking signal will use the pulse length
of the LASER1 signal (see pulse picking laser mode on
• If neither pulse picking laser mode nor constant pulse length mode has been activated,
then the value Length is irrelevant (set_pulse_picking,
set_pulse_picking_length can be activated in any desired order).
• After set_pulse_picking( 0 ), LASER2 will continuously output the LASERON signal, but
no constant pulse length signal.
