One Laser Hydra Switching Dual Light Source Tutorial

One Laser Hydra Switching Dual Light Source Tutorial


Note:   When configuring dual light sources in the software, make sure that the two lasers are of different types.

           If the two lasers are of the same type, the motherboard may mistakenly identify them as dual-tube mode, causing both lasers to start emitting light at the same time, thus causing potential safety hazards.

1.Preparation

① Material preparation

One Laser Hydra series devices x 1，computer x 1

② Debug software

   Light Burn ，RDWorks

2.Adjustment steps

①.Setting up dual light sources

  1. This step can only be completed using the customized version of RDWorks. LightBurn does not have this function and cannot complete the initial setup.

  1. After connecting the device using RDWorks, click "File" in RDWorks and enter "Factory Settings"

  1. After clicking "Read" button, click "Laser" tab


C.  Setup laser config

  1. For Laser config, select "Multi tube", 
  2. Select "Laser 1 type" to "Glass tube" 
  3. Select "Laser 2 type" to "RF Laser (preginition)"
  4. Make sure other config is same to screenshot below (mark as step 4)
  5. Click "Write" and wait until progress complete (mark as step 5)

D.Click "Read Parameters" to confirm that the changes just made have taken effect.
