34 General Operation
Setting the treatment interval
The treatment interval is the time between laser pulses. Single and repeat
pulse modes are available. In single pulse mode, the laser delivers a single pulse
each time you depress the footswitch. In repeat pulse mode, the laser delivers
repeated pulses at a specified interval, from 0.05 s to 1.0 s, until you release
the footswitch.
Not all interval settings are available at higher power and exposure time
settings. If you attempt to select an interval that is unavailable at the existing
power and exposure time settings, the laser changes to meet the duty cycle
requirements for that power setting. You must reduce the power or exposure
time setting to make available the desired interval. Conversely, if you select the
minimum interval for the existing power and exposure time settings, and then
you increase the power or exposure time setting, the interval automatically
increases to the minimum setting for the new power and exposure time
settings.
To set the pulse interval, press the up or down Interval selectors on the laser
console display or the remote control until the desired value displays.
