setType(value)

Sets the value of the Type attribute.

This field records the type of this Raster Scanner. In a Galvanometer-mirror based system, two galvanometer scan mirrors (one for each axis) direct the laser beam to any XY position in the field of view. In a Resonant system laser positioning in the x-axis is provided by a special resonant scan mirror which oscillates at a fixed frequency.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
value RasterScannerType_Type

The value to set

required

getType()

Returns the value of the Type attribute.
