3-3-6 Trigger mode: TMS

Specifies how you will input TRIGGER IN (marking start signal) to a static object by selecting "single trigger" or "continuous
trigger". According to this setting, the behavior of TRIGGER IN signal in I/O terminal is defined. Trigger mode setting is
applied to only the selected file.

End code
• With "single trigger", one lasing operation
is executed by each input of TRIGGER
IN.
• With "continuous trigger", lasing operation
is repeated while TRIGGER IN is on.
• With setting "0": Single trigger, end the
data here. Do not send any subsequent
data including a separator ",".
• Specify these values only when the
trigger mode is continuous trigger. When
the trigger mode is single trigger, do not
input anything.
• Without "allow to stop halfway" setting if
TRIGGER IN turns OFF when the lasing
operation is running, the lasing operation
is terminated after finishing the running
operation.
• With "allow to stop halfway" setting when
the marking operation stops halfway
because TRIGGER IN turns OFF, it is
counted as one normal scanning.
• Minimum number of scans should be
less than or equal to maximum number of
scans.
