pin (17). Alternatively, each of the two pins can be set
permanently to +5 V (HIGH) or to GND (LOW level).
Alternatively, pin (17) can be configured for the
LATCH signal by closing the correspondingly labeled
jumper. Figure 1 shows an example jumper configu-
ration assigning DATA7 to pin (15) and the LATCH
signal to pin (17).

Example configuration for jumpers JP2-JP8:
Pin (15): DATA7, Pin (17): LATCH signal
Caution!
• Make sure that not more than one of the three
jumpers for pin (15) is closed. Also make sure
that not more than one of the four jumpers for
pin (17) is closed.
Closing more than one jumper for pin (15) or
(17) will damage the board's electronics.

2.4.3 Type Identification

®
The RTC 5's ID number reveals the board's factory-
equipped jumper configuration. The jumper configu-
ration is additionally encoded in a three-digit type
code scheme:
Digit 1 =0: Jumper JP1 open (no signal)
=1: Jumper JP1 in position 1-2 (5 V)
=2: Jumper JP1 in position 2-3 (3.3 V)
Digit 2 =0: Jumper JP2-4 open (no signal)
(relates =1: Jumper JP2 closed (+5 V)
to pin =2: Jumper JP3 closed (DATA7)
15) =3: Jumper JP4 closed (GND)
Digit 3 =0: Jumper JP5-8 open (no signal)
(relates =1: Jumper JP5 closed (+5 V)
to pin =2: Jumper JP6 closed (DATA7)
17) =3: Jumper JP7 closed (GND)
=4: Jumper JP8 closed (LATCH)

the RTC

2.5.1 XY2-100 Converter

SCANLAB's XY2-100 converter allows the RTC
board to control scan systems equipped with a
conventional XY2-100 interface (see

2.5.2 Data Cables

To connect the RTC
SCANLAB offers appropriate cables in a variety of
lengths – either conventional cables for electrical data
transfer or polymer optical fiber cables or optical data
transfer (see

2.5.3 Laser Adapter

SCANLAB offers an laser adapter which can be
plugged into the RTC
This adapter's 9-pin female D-SUB connector
provides the same signals and pin-out as the RTC
9-pin laser connector (see
