15.3.4 Installing the Drivers and the
RTC
®
5 Software
RTC
®
5 PC/104-Plus boards use the same drivers and
other software files as the RTC
®
5PCinterface board.
Installation is also identical to the RTC
®
5PCinterface
board (see page 57 and page 58).
Notes
• Windows runs the RTC
®
5 PC/104-Plus board as a
PCI board.
• To install the driver, make sure you are logged on
with administrator rights (not necessary when
later using the RTC
®
5 PC/104-Plus board).
15.3.5 Functionality Test, User Appli-
cations and Demo Software
The HPGL conversion program HPGL.EXE is supplied
for testing control of the scan system (see page 59).
Application programming is identical to that of the
RTC
®
5 PC interface board (see page 59). You can run
the same demo programs used for the
RTC
®
5 PC interface board.
Caution!
•The RTC
®
5 PC/104-Plus board does not support
power-saving modes that switch off power to
the PCI bus. Accordingly, you must disable
standby or sleep modes of the operating
system. Particularly disable the WINDOWS sleep
mode option (some WINDOWS operating
systems enable this option by default). Also see
the note on page 27.
Danger!
• Always turn on the controller with
RTC
®
5 PC/104-Plus board and the power
supply for the scan system first before
turning on the laser. Otherwise, there is the
danger of uncontrolled deflection of the
laser beam.
Caution!
• Carefully check your application program before
running it. Programming errors can cause a
system breakdown. In this case, neither the laser
nor the scan head can be controlled.
