RetinaEngrave v3.0 (RE3) is locally hosted on the machine’s internal computer so it will function even without an internet connection. Using any computer, only an internet browser (such as Google Chrome) is needed to access RE3. The easiest method is to connect the Ethernet Cable that came with your Galvo.
