Specify the minimum duty to be clamped for laser power control. When
the calculated pulse duty is less than this setting during laser power
control, this setting is used.
Specify the type of assist gas to be used 0 to 3 or 0 to 7 (which depends:
on the setting of PRM15001#0) can be specified. When 0 is specified, no
assist gas is selected. When address P is specified for the assist gas select
command (G32) in the program, the program execution overwrites the old
setting with the new setting.
For the correspondence between settings 1 to 7 and actual assist gas types,
refer to the relevant manual of the machine tool builder.
The setting assist gas selection is set to 0 by reset.
Specify the supply pattern of the assist gas flow.
1 to 3 can be specified. One of gas flows 1 to 3 is selected accordingly.
