A controller is needed to control the system electronics and provide a
display of the distance measured. The PC is the controller for
PC- compatible electronics. Example and demon software programs are
provided with the Agilent PC- compatible electronics to set up the system
and display the measurement. VMEbus electronics require a separate
controller.
