Description

Get or set the external trigger mode.

<Mode>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Check the external trigger mode.

0

Stop the external trigger mode.

1

Start the external trigger mode.

Example

Command

Return

Note

ET

0: 1

Check the status of the external trigger mode. 1 = external trigger is activated.

ET 0

0:

Stop the external trigger mode.

ET 1

0:

Start the external trigger mode.

Notes

•The parameter1 <On/Off> can have the value 1 for to set the external trigger mode, 0 will disable external trigger mode.

•If the external trigger mode is selected and a mark is started with M 1  the USC-Card waits for the external trigger signal before it starts marking. Please refer to section Opto_Ins for further information.

Description

Assign different flags to a defined input bit. Available functions are stop, reset, pause and laser disable. The input bit value needs to be combined with flag for the trigger mode.

<Func>

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Not available. This parameter is obligatory.

0

Stop. value cannot be changed, it is always 2 (Opto_In_1)

1

Reset. It is possible to clear the buffer on reset (SLR 0x10).

2

Pause

3

Laser disable

<Input>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Not available. This parameter is obligatory.

InputBit + TMflag

The value of parameter 2 is the Input Bit plus trigger mode flag.

Input Bit Value

2 ... 5

Opto_In_2..5

6 ... 15

Digi_In_0..9

TM flag

0

level triggered = 0

0x10

edge triggered = 1

Example

Command

Return

Note

FLAGS 1 18

0:

3 => reset

18 = 2 + 0x10 = 2 + 16 => Opto_In_2 + edge triggered

Notes

•Edge triggered (parameter <Input>) is only available in combination with <Func> = 1.

•With SAMLight start, all FLAGS are overwritten by the functionality as it is in SAMLight. So, the USC needs to be rebooted to restore the stored settings of FLAGS (without having pressed the Store button in SAMLight).

•Will not reset serial numbers set as global sequences.

Save

•Changes are saved with SVG.

•When not saved, changes are valid until the next reboot of the USC-Card.

•Saved changes are restored with LDG.

Description

Start and stop the marking.

<State>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Check the marking status.

0

Stop the marking.

1

Start the marking

Example

Command

Return

Note

M

0: 1

Check the mark status.1 = is marking.

M 0

0:

Stop the marking.

M 6

8:

Value out of range. Only 0 and 1 are valid parameter values.

Notes

•Only the value 0 for <Par1> is stopping the marking.

Description

This command sets a loop count for the complete job, a marking process is repeated for that number of times. The command also returns the currently applied loop count.

<Number>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Get the number of loops currently applied.

NumberLoops

[1; 2147483646]

Set the number of loops.

Example

Command

Return

Note

LC

0: 1

Get the loop count. The default is 1.

LC 10

0:

Set the loop count to 10.

Notes

•The default value for <Par1> is 1.

<State>

[optional]

Value: <int>

Function

empty

Check the marking status.

0

Example

Command

Return

Note

RP

0: 1

Check the redpointer.1 = red pointer active.

RP 0

0:

Stop the red pointer.

RP 6

8:

Value out of range. Only 0 and 1 are valid parameter values.

Notes

•Only the value 0 for <Par1> is stopping the red pointer.

•Opto_Out_2 is always used for the red pointer. Thus, the red pointer cannot be used in Flash with lasers which need other signals.
