2.5.5 ADC Add-On Board

SCANLAB offers an ADC add-on board (product
number 121126) for the RTC
®
(but not for the RTC 5-Express board,
®
RTC 5 PC/104-Plus board and RTC
board). With installed add-on board, the RTC
provides two 10 V analog inputs (see
®
RTC 5-Express board provides two 10 V analog
inputs even without any add-on board (see
page 595).

2.6 Supplementary Software

®
For customizing RTC correction files on the basis of
test measurements, SCANLAB offers the correXion5
program and its associated manual (also see
page 121).

2.7.1 Hardware Changes

When migrating from the RTC
need to consider the following hardware changes for
correct cabling of the system components.

Scan System Control

• To control a scan system with the XY2-100 or
XY2-100 Enhanced interface, you'll also need an
XY2-100 converter (available from SCANLAB – see
page 42).
®
• The RTC 5 can't control scan systems with
XY2-100-O interfaces (for optical data transfer).
• To control a scan system with the SL2-100
interface, you'll need a different data cable
(available from SCANLAB – see
• To use the secondary scan head connector, you'll
need a different adapter cable (including slot
cover available from SCANLAB – see
• For controlling a 3-axis scan system, both scan
head connectors must be used (and a 3D
correction file must be correctly assigned) (see
page 171).
• Simultaneous control of two 3-axis scan systems
®
will require two RTC 5 boards (see
