Undelayed set_wobbel_control
Short List
Command
Function specifies laser control parameters for laser power variation with "freely definable wobbel
shapes".
Call
set_wobbel_control( Ctrl, Value, MinValue, MaxValue )
Parameter
Ctrl
Value
MinValue,
MaxValue
Comments • For Ctrl = 0 and Ctrl > 6, laser power variation will be switched off (initialization state
after load_program_file). The values for McBSP multi transfers will then not be used.
• The limits for Value, MinValue, MaxValue are the same as for automatic laser control (see
set_auto_laser_control), but with a maximum of [0 ... 65535]. Initialized values are
MinValue = 0 and MaxValue = 0xFFFFFFFF, i.e. no restrictions.
• If you want variable laser power along a wobbel shape, then the command must
execute before you activate the "freely definable wobbel shape". Otherwise, laser
power won't be varied, even if you make a change in the data sets.
• Special case: if Value = 0xFFFFFFFF, then the nominal laser power will be derived from
the port assigned by the signal parameter Ctrl, instead of from the command. This will
then be the current content at this timepoint set via other normal commands, e.g.
write_da_1_list
But beware: with execution of a "freely definable wobbel shape", the value at the port
can change at any time. Subsequent calls of
values for the nominal laser power.

control parameter for initializing or deactivating laser power variation as an
unsigned 32-bit value:

return code RTC5_PARAM_ERROR).
Nominal laser power P0 (100%) as an unsigned 32-bit value.
For the allowed range, see set_auto_laser_control; the maximum is
[0 ... 65535] or 0xFFFFFFFF. Excessive values will be clipped.
Limits that can't be exceeded, as unsigned 32-bit values (see
set_auto_laser_control).
The allowed ranges depend on the selected Ctrl parameter and on Value.
