Remarks

Performance Improvement

To speed up modifying a job, open a job using the CreateJob(int, int) method and close it after modification using the EndJob(int) method. This means that the job only has to be verified once, and not with every change.

Constructors

LaserModule(string, ICommunication)

Initializes a new instance of the LaserModule class.

public LaserModule(string name, ICommunication communication)

Parameters

name string: Module Name.
communication ICommunication: Instance of communication module.

Remarks

The communication argument is normally a TCP client, the default port is 50002. The encoding should be UTF8 to use UTF-8 encoded content. The encoding must also be configured on the laser (Settings→Controller→Communication Settings→CharCode).
The start delimiter is empty and the end delimiter is CR ("\r") by default.
