Laser Adapter (Optional) - Scanlab RTC 5 PC Interface Board Installation And Operation Manual

Laser Adapter (Optional)

An optional laser adapter from SCANLAB can be
®
plugged into the RTC 5's 15-pin LASER connector.
This adapter's 9-pin female D-SUB connector
provides the same signals and pin-out as the RTC
9-pin laser connector.
Notes
• The laser adapter can not be directly plugged into
®
the RTC 5 if an XY2-100 converter is already
plugged in.
• The BUSY OUT signal, 2-bit digital input and 2-bit
digital output are not available at the laser
adapter's 9-pin D-SUB connector.
Figure 12 shows the dimensions of the laser adapter.

The signals at pins (2) and (4) of the 9-pin D-SUB
connector can be selected via two solder jumpers in
the laser adapter. To do so, carefully open the laser
adapter's housing via its four clip latches (e.g. using
a screwdriver). The solder jumpers JP1 and JP2 are on
