21 File setting
Specify any of the following parameters:
• “Delay time [ms]”:
Set a delay time from trigger input to starting the marking processing (lasing process).
‒ The trigger delay setting is only applied to the selected file. If you use several files,
set the trigger delay for each file.
‒ If “Image checking before marking” was set in the selected file, control of the image
processing device starts after the trigger delay. If a TIMING IN signal is used, a delay
time is not applied before the TIMING IN signal.
‒ The delay setting is not applied to on-the-fly marking.
• “Trigger mode”:
Set the mode of the marking trigger input TRIGGER IN of the TERMINAL connector.
With “Single trigger” (default setting), one lasing process is executed by each TRIGGER
IN signal.
With “Continuous trigger”, the lasing process is repeated while TRIGGER IN is ON.
‒ The
MRK
command cannot be transmitted if “Continuous trigger” is set for “Trigger
mode”.
‒ The “Trigger mode” settings are only applied to the selected file. If you use several
files, specify the trigger mode settings for each file.
‒ The “Trigger mode” settings are not applied to on-the-fly marking. Set the trigger
mode for on-the-fly marking under “Marking settings” > “On-the-fly marking” > “On-
the-fly settings for all files” > “Trigger mode”.
‒ For details about the timing chart of the TRIGGER IN signal, refer to the “Setup and
Maintenance Guide” of your laser marking system.
‒ If “Continuous trigger” is set for “Trigger mode”, the “Start marking” button is not
available in RUN mode.
‒ If “Continuous trigger” is set for “Trigger mode”, you can use the “Seamless loop”
function to repeat the marking of objects that consist of a closed line.
The following parameters are available if “Continuous trigger” is set for “Trigger mode”:
• “Allow to stop halfway”:
If the check box is selected and TRIGGER IN turns off during the marking process, the
marking process is immediately terminated even if the process is not finished.
If the check box is not selected and TRIGGER IN turns off during the marking process,
the marking process is terminated after finishing the current process.
• “Scan interval [s]”:
Set the interval period at overwriting.
There is an interval of around 10ms between each lasing process, even if you set “0” for
“Scan interval [s]”.
• “Minimum number of scans”:
The value of “Minimum number of scans” must be less than or equal to the value of
“Maximum number of scans”.
If “Trigger mode” is set to “Continuous trigger”, the setting value of “Minimum number of
scans” is used for the test marking.
