96M11664 „ Laser emission stop input

The laser emission stops when an emission stop (purple line) signal is input (for
20 ms or longer). The emission stops while the signal is input. The laser beam is
emitted a maximum of 20 ms after the signal input is canceled. The control
output functions according to the detection value even while laser emission
stop is input.
