RTC

2 Commands

The RTC

4 emulates some RTC

2 commands for

compatibility. Though these emulated commands
can be used with the RTC

4, new application soft-

ware should only use the commands described in

chapter 10

This section also specifies RTC

4 replacements for

those RTC

2 commands that are neither supported

nor emulated.

The following table provides an overview of
emulated RTC

2 commands and unsupported RTC

commands as well as appropriate RTC

4 replace-

ments.

Ctrl Command aut_change

Support status

The RTC

4 emulates this RTC

2 command

Replaced by

auto_change

(see page 75)

Function

same as

auto_change

(see page 75)

Integration

Pascal:

procedure aut_change;

void aut_change(void);

Basic:

sub aut_change()

List Command

field_jump

Support status

This RTC

2 command is not supported by the RTC

Replaced by

home_position

(see page 89)

Ctrl Command get_rtc2_mode

Support status

This RTC

2 command is not supported by the RTC

Replaced by

The RTC

4 has no need to query the mode, which is now be set via the software command

set_laser_mode

(see page 108)

instead of hardware.

Ctrl Command get_rtc2_version

Support status

This RTC

2 command is not supported by the RTC

Replaced by

get_rtc_version

(see page 84)

Ctrl Command get_version

Support status

This RTC

2 command is not supported by the RTC

Replaced by

get_hex_version

(see page 83)
