Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There may be provided a laser unit including a display configured to display one or both of electric power consumed by the laser unit and electric energy consumed by the laser unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium holding a program that is configured to cause a computer to display, on a display, one or both of electric power consumed by a laser unit and electric energy consumed by the laser unit, wherein the electric power consumed by the laser unit includes a sum of electric power consumed by a charger included in the laser unit, electric power consumed by a motor included in the laser unit, and electric power consumed by a standby-power supply included in the laser unit, and the electric energy consumed by the laser unit includes a sum of electric energy consumed by the charger included in the laser unit, electric energy consumed by the motor included in the laser unit, and electric energy consumed by the standby-power supply included in the laser unit. 2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the program is configured to calculate one or both of the electric power consumed by the laser unit and the electric energy consumed by the laser unit. 3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the electric energy consumed by the charger is obtained by integrating the electric energy consumed through applying a voltage to a pair of electrodes included in the laser unit. 4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the electric power consumed by the motor is calculated based on pressure of gas fed to a clearance between a pair of electrodes included in the laser unit, and the electric energy consumed by the motor is calculated based on the pressure of the gas fed to the clearance between the electrodes included in the laser unit.
