V. COMPUTER CONTROL
1. Interfaces
The MIRcat system includes hardware for two different computer control interfaces:
USB 2.0 - allows for control and communication through a standard USB cable and PC. The laser controller
hardware provides a full-speed USB connection. It is a self-powered device; namely, it draws no current
from the +5V line of the USB cable. MIRcat is designed to be compliant with USB Human Interface Device
(HID) class. This means that no additional drivers need to be installed on your computer to use the USB
interface. You will, however, need to install suitable third-party software to send commands via the USB
interface.
An SDK command set is available for the MIRcat, and is available for use with your system, if required. This
command set emulates the functionality of many of the commands available via MIRcat’s rear panel
connections and GUI. Check the CD that was shipped with the MIRcat, or contact customer support for the
latest revision.
For more information regarding USB computer control of your MIRcat, please contact

Ethernet – although an RJ-45 jack is built into each MIRcat, this is in preparation for potential future
Ethernet control of the system. Presently the MIRcat GUI does not support Ethernet control and
communication. For more information, please contact Daylight Solutions or your authorized distributor.
