AN-301 PWM Output control

PWM outputs are required for laser control and similar applications. This document defines the functions available on the MC405 or similar controller for PWM.

Below functions are now supported:

- Programmable Mark/Space PWM outputs.

- Optional linking of PWM outputs to velocity profile speed of an interpolating axis group.

- Ability to define a PWM output intensity profile which can be linked to distance along an XY profile.

- Gating of PWM signal with sequence of positions on axis.

Other PWM control options are possible. Contact Trio if you need further functionality.
