Changed Timing Behavior
The following RTC
®
4 list commands are processed by
the RTC
®
5 as “short list commands”. This can result
in a changed timing behavior during execution (see
page 217).
• clear_io_cond_list
• list_call
• list_call_cond
• list_jump_cond (changed, depending on the memory
configuration)
• list_return
• save_and_restart_timer
• set_extstartpos_list
• set_firstpulse_killer_list
• set_io_cond_list
• set_jump_speed
• set_laser_delays
• set_laser_timing (Firmware changed)
• set_list_jump
• set_mark_speed
• set_scanner_delays
• set_standby_list
• set_trigger (enhanced)
• set_wobbel (changed)
• write_8bit_port_list
• write_da_1_list
• write_da_2_list
• write_da_x_list
• write_io_port_list
Likewise, automatic delay adjustments can produce a
changed timing behavior (see page 107).
2.7.3 New and Changed Function-
ality
Interface to the PC
•The RTC
®
5 software drivers supports simulta-
neous control of any number of RTC
®
5 boards in
one PC (see page 83).
• Connectors and commands for master/slave
synchronization of multiple RTC
®
5 boards (see
page 40)
Scan System Control
• New interface to the scan system (see page 41):
– 9-pin female D-SUB connector at the RTC
®
5
slot cover and on-board 10-pin connector
– SL2-100 transfer protocol
– 2 data channels each for both scan head con-
nectors
– Galvanically isolated signals
– 20-bit positioning resolution (see page 119)
– Enhanced status return from the scan system
(see page 127)
– Control and status channels for enhanced data
transfer with iDRIVE

• An XY2-100 converter is provided for data
transfer according to the XY2-100 protocol (see
page 42). The RTC
®
5 provides power for this
converter.
– 25-pin female D-SUB connector
– 16-bit positioning resolution
– Status return according XY2-100 or XY2-100
Enhanced protocol
– Transfer synchronization is configurable for
long data cables via solder jumpers in the
XY2-100 converter
• For optical data transfer between the RTC
®
5 and
scan systems, no special variant of the RTC
®
5
(with XY2-100-O interface) is required. Optical
data transfer can be realized via a SCANLAB data
cable with electrical-to-optical conversion in its
D-SUB connector housing (see page 44).
