AN-329 PWM output control for Laser fire with ATYPE 36
PWM outputs are required for laser control and similar applications.
This document introduces a new ATYPE which has been created to allow accurate switching of a PWM output at equip-spaced points along an XY path.
- Programmable Laser ON time hardware switched to 50nsec resolution.
- Easily link PWM switch points to a group of interpolating XY or XYZ axes.
- Distance between switching points maintained when speed and acceleration of XY changes rapidly.
- Other PWM control options are possible. Contact Trio if you need further functionality.
