6.3 Primary Scan Head Connector

The 25-pin D-SUB connector for the scan head is
compatible with most scan heads which use the
XY2-100 standard. The pin out is shown in
on page 54.

Control Signals

Data channels CHAN1 through CHAN3 transmit
control values to the scan head. The SYNC and CLOCK
channels transmit synchronization and clock signals
to the scan system.
The CHAN3 channel is optionally provided for
controlling a third axis in a 3-axis system.
Please contact SCANLAB for further information (also
see chapter 7 "Options", page
For additional information, please contact SCANLAB.

Status Signals

The STATUS channel receives XY2-100 standard
compliant status signals returned by the scan system.
Consult your scan system's operating manual to
determine which status signals are generated by your
scan system and how they can be applied for moni-
toring purposes.
