Light Stack (Red) 
This output can be used to drive a solid-state relay to turn on the red light in a light stack.  The red 
light is illuminated when the LS8500-4 laser is turned on, and the beam shutter is open, indicating 
that the LS8500-4 is emitting laser radiation.  See the 

Light Stack Interface

 section for details. 

Voltage High: Red lamp should be illuminated 
Voltage Low: Red lamp should 

not

 be illuminated 

 
Length Threshold A 
Indicates when the current length has exceeded the Length Threshold A set point.  This output is 
reset when the Index Pulse resets.  See the 

Index Pulse/Length Thresholds

 section for details 

about length thresholds. 
Voltage High: Length Threshold A Exceeded 
Voltage Low: Length Threshold A Not Exceeded 
 
Length Threshold B 
Indicates when the current length has exceeded the Length Threshold B set point.  This output is 
reset when the Index Pulse resets.  See the 

Index Pulse/Length Thresholds

The User Scalable Pulse Output can output pulses at rates higher than 250kHz.  Caution should be 
used to ensure that the maximum line speed encountered during operation does not cause the 
pulse output frequency to exceed the maximum frequency of the counter.  Many counters have 
surprisingly low maximum frequency specifications.  If the pulse frequency exceeds the counter 
maximum frequency, the counter may behave erratically.
