2.6 Options
RTC6 PCIe Boards can be equipped with different
options (features). For new boards, the options
ordered are enabled/installed at the SCANLAB factory
on delivery. For information on retrofitting already
delivered boards, see Section ”Notes”, page 39.
To query which options are actually enabled on a
certain board, get_rtc_version is used.
The following options are available for
RTC6 PCIe Boards:
• Option Processing-on-the-fly
Allows that a Processing-on-the-fly correction can
be activated, see Chapter 8.6
”Processing-on-the-fly”, page 242.
• Option “3D”
– Controlling a 3-Axis Scan System
Allows that an RTC6 PCIe Board can
synchronously control a third axis (z axis, for
example, a varioSCAN as a dynamic focus unit)
along with the scan system’s x axis and y axis
(usually two galvanometer scanners) by its two
scan head connectors, see Chapter 8.5.2
”3D Scan Systems”, page 237.
• Option “Second Scan Head Control”
– Controlling Two Scan Systems
Simultaneously
Allows that an RTC6 PCIe Board can
simultaneously control two xy-scan systems via
its two scan head connectors, see also
Chapter 4.5.1 ”Scan Head Connectors and
Transfer Protocol”, page 67 and Chapter 8.5
”Controlling 2D Scan Systems and
3D Scan Systems”, page 236.
• Option “SCANa“
– Controlling Scan Systems with SCANahead
Servo Control
Allows that scan systems equipped with
SCANahead servo control (for example,
excelliSCAN series) can (also) be controlled. For
further information, see the “excelliSCAN
Scan Heads – Functional Principle of SCANahead
Servo Control and Operation by RTC6 Boards”
Manual.
• Option “UFPM“
– Pixel Output Modes with pixel output
frequencies more than 800 kHz
(1)
Allows that pixel output frequencies of
> 800 kHz…3,2 MHz can be achieved in certain
Pixel Output Modes, see also set_pixel_line.
• Option “syncA“
– Support of the syncAXIS control So
ftware
Allows that SCANLAB syncAXIS control software
can be used (board and software are part of
SCANLAB’s scope of delivery for
XL SCAN systems).
• Option “DC/DC Converter”
These boards are equipped with an extra DC/DC
converter (optoelectronic coupler) ex works.
Therefore, the Laser Control Signals LASERON,
LASER1 and LASER2 at the LASER Connector and
EXTENSION 2 socket connector are galvanically
decoupled from the PC ground
