The following options are available for the RTC
®
4.
Please contact SCANLAB for further information.
• I/O Extension Board
An optional I/O Extension Board for the RTC
®
4
is available from SCANLAB. It includes
– a 16-bit digital input,
4 bits are opto-decoupled
– a 16-bit digital output,
4 bits are opto-decoupled
– 4 differential analog outputs,
each with 10-bit resolution
– 4 analog outputs,
each with 10-bit resolution
• Second Scan Head Connector
This option allows controlling two scan heads
simultaneously, e.g. in a double scan head
configuration.
Also see chapter 5.3 "Using Two Different Correc-
tion Files", page 42.
• Processing-on-the-fly
Control signal inputs and outputs for Processing-
on-the-fly applications are optionally available
on-board.
• Controlling the Third Axis of a 3-Axis System
The optional third data channel can be used, for
example, for controlling a varioSCAN module in a
3-axis scan system.
• Optical Data Interface
SCANLAB’s Optical Data Interface enables trans-
mission of data via a polymer optical fiber linking
the RTC
®
4 to an optical interface (optionally)
integrated in the scan system (see the section
"Optical Data Interface (Optional)" on page 56).
• Optoelectronic Couplers
The digital laser control signals on the 9-pin laser
connector can be optically decoupled from the PC
ground (see the section "Laser Connector" on
page 52).
Note
•The command get_rtc_version (see page 84)
provides information about the options
currently installed on your RTC
®
4 board.
