Notes
• For information on using this command, see
.
• A check (also see
) will only be performed if
Flag
= –1 (the initialization state)
prior to the call and/or if the supplied tuning numbers don’t match those stored on the
board. Otherwise, only the flag will be switched. For the check, the board must not be
BUSY or INTERNAL BUSY, because meanwhile the to-be-returned data type will change
and automatic laser control will be deactivated (both will get restored at the end of the
command). Depending on results of the check, different error codes will be returned
(see above). In case of error,
Flag
will get set to –1 (jump mode deactivated and
disabled). If the check is successful, then you can afterward (even via
during processing of a list) switch freely between the states
Flag
= 1 (jump mode activated, vector mode deactivated) and
Flag
= 0 (jump mode
deactivated, vector mode activated) without another check having to be performed.
• Use –1 as the tuning number if certain tunings shouldn’t be checked (e.g. because no
intelli
SCAN
®
scan system is attached or specific tunings aren’t available – vector tuning,
for example, isn’t needed in pure drilling applications) or if, after switching to jump
tuning, it isn’t desirable to return to vector tuning. As a result, such tunings are neither
checked nor switched on. If the “second scan head control” option hasn’t been
enabled, then the tuning numbers for the secondary scan head connector (B) will auto-
matically be set to –1 (even if others were supplied). If all tuning numbers are –1, then
Flag
will be set to –1 (return value –1).
• Even after successful activation of jump mode (
Flag
= 1), the first servo switching only
occurs after the first subsequent 2D jump (see
). If the currently set tuning
then doesn’t match the jump or vector tuning specified via
set_jump_mode
, then the
first switching can take somewhat longer (approx. 250 ms), depending on the currently
set tuning. You can determine ahead of time whether this is so by calling
set_jump_mode
using the currently set tuning as a parameter. If true (return value >
1, Error code = 2), then you can achieve the desired operational sequence by calling
before the first 2D jump to set the tuning to one that was supplied
via
set_jump_mode
.
