Chapter 2. Design
This connection needs additional cables, a switching cable and a Z-splitter, which
distribute signals from the scanners of the measuring head, of the exchangeable mount, and
of the lens.
The Z-splitter separates signals from the slave controller to different scanners. Z-socket of
the splitter (pos. 2 on Fig. 2-10) transmits the Z signal that controls the lens scanner placed
in the exchangeable mount. XY socket (pos. 1) transmits X and Y signals that control the
XY-sections of the measuring head scanner.

The switching cable (Fig. 2-11) supplies the measuring head scanner with the Z signal
from the main controller and the X and the Y signals from the slave controller instead of
the main one.
