5" section: extended functionality is not enabled or installed by
SCANLAB, then the associated commands will have
only partial or non-existent effect. For example,
commands to activate Processing-on-the-fly
correction will have no effect if the Processing-on-
the-fly option hasn't been enabled. If the 3D func-
tionality option hasn't been enabled, then 3D vector
commands will still execute, but no Z-axis signals will
® be outputted. Likewise, if the "second scan head
2
® ® control" option hasn't been enabled, then
3/RTC 4 are not
commands that can explicitly specify the scan head
® ® ® connector (e.g. set_matrix) will have no effect on the
2/RTC 3/RTC 4
secondary scan head connector.
If applicable, the individual command descriptions

describe such limitations.
