4.3.5.1 Universal Mode (deprecated)

Note
Super Mode is only available on adapter hardware version R2 001 V2 or R3 001 V0. This Mode is depecated.

The output Alarm signal (J3 pin 26) to the SP-ICE-3 Card will be activated whenever at least one of the enabled alarm inputs is active:
- Alarm = alarm_input_J [ OR alarm_input_K [ OR ... ] ]
- On the SP-ICE-3 Card the Alarm signal will cause the currently running job to be aborted.
The user can select which of the six available alarm inputs are enabled, and their polarities, by setting the appropriate Configuration bits via the IPG-compatible Adapter's SPI.
The state of the Laser Status signals can be read from the Status bits via the IPG-compatible Adapter's SPI.

Configuration and Status Register Bit Groups

Configuration:	Bits 31-16 can be written by the SP-ICE-3 Card to configure the Adapter.
Status:	Bits 15-0 can be read by the SP-ICE-3 Card to obtain the Laser Status.

Programmatic Configuration via SPI

The IPG-compatible Adapter's SPI can be used for configuration as demonstrated in the following example.

Copy

using ( ClientAPI client = new ClientAPI( CardIP ) )
{
    try
    {
        // Get the current SPI configuration, and adjust
        // it to make sure that Module 0
        // is enabled with correct settings.
        SpiConfig sc = client.Sfio.Spi.GetConfig();
        sc.Modules[2].Enabled = true;
        sc.Modules[2].OutputSource = DataSource.Spi;
        sc.Modules[2].BitsPerWord = 32;
        sc.Modules[2].SpiSyncMode = SyncMode.SyncPerWord;
        sc.Modules[2].ClockPeriod = 3;
        sc.Modules[2].PostDelay = 0;
        sc.Modules[2].PreDelay = 0;
        sc.Modules[2].FrameDelay = 7;
        client.Sfio.Spi.SetConfig( sc );

        // Define the IPG Universal Mode configuration we want to use.
        // TODO: put some genuinely useful value here!
        ConfigFlags ipgUniversalModeConfig = ( ConfigFlags.Driver_Enable | ConfigFlags.Alarm1_Enable ) & ~ConfigFlags.s5V_Enable & ConfigFlags.Command_Mask;

        // Prepare for transmission.
        uint[] spiCommands = new uint[] { (uint)( ipgUniversalModeConfig ) }; // In this case, just a single SPI command.

        // Send the configuration via the SPI.
        uint[] spiResponse = client.Sfio.Spi.Transceive( 2, spiCommands, 10 );

        // Check the response.
        ConfigFlags currentUniversalModeFlags = (ConfigFlags)spiResponse[0] & ConfigFlags.Response_Mask;

        // TODO: something appropriate with the response.
    }
    catch ( Exception ex )
    {
        Console.WriteLine( "Uhhh, Houston? We've had a problem...{0}", ex.ToString() );
    }
}
