New And Changed Functionality; Interface To The Pc; Controlling Scan Systems - Scanlab RTC6 PCIe Board Installation And Operation Manual

2.10.3 New and Changed
Functionality

Interface to the PC

• The RTC6 board driver supports simultaneous
control of any number of RTC6 PCIe Boards in a
single PC, see Chapter 6.6 "Using Several
RTC6 PCIe Boards in One PC", page
• Connectors and commands for master/slave
synchronization of several RTC6 PCIe Boards, see
Chapter 4.4 "Master Socket Connector,
Slave Socket Connector", page

Controlling Scan Systems

• New interface to the scan system, see
Chapter 4.5.1 "Scan Head Connectors and
Transfer Protocol", page
– 9-pin female D-SUB connector at the
RTC6 PCIe Board slot cover and 10-pin
socket connector
– SL2-100 protocol
– 2 data channels each for both scan head
connectors
– Galvanically isolated signals
– 20-bit positioning resolution, see
"Image Field Size and Image Field Calibration",
page 167
– Enhanced status return from the scan system,
see Chapter 7.3.7 "Status Monitoring and
Diagnostics", page 183
– Control channels and status channels for
enhanced data transfer with iDRIVE

scan systems
• An XY2-100 Converter (Accessory)
data transfer according to the XY2-100 protocol.
– 25-pin female D-SUB connector
– 16-bit positioning resolution
– Status return according XY2-100 protocol or
XY2-100 Enhanced protocol
– Transfer synchronization is configurable for
long data cables by solder jumpers in the
XY2-100 Converter (Accessory)
The RTC6 PCIe Board provides power for the
XY2-100 Converter (Accessory).

• For optical data transfer between the
RTC6 PCIe Board and scan systems, no special
variant of the RTC6 PCIe Board (with XY2-100-O
interface) is required. Optical data transfer can be
realized by a SCANLAB data cable with electrical-
to-optical conversion in its D-SUB connector
housing, see Chapter 4.5.3 "Data Cables
(Accessories)", page 71.
• For controlling a 3-axis scan system, see
Chapter 8.5.2 "3D Scan Systems", page
– Both scan head connectors must be used
– Simultaneous control of two 3-axis
scan systems requires 2 RTC5 PCI Boards
• Image Field correction
– New correction files are needed, see
Chapter 7.3.5 "Image Field Correction and
Correction Tables", page
• File name extension ".ct5"
• Correction with higher resolution
• Queryable information in the correction file
header
• For the RTC6 PCIe Board, RTC4
correction files (.ctb) need to be newly
calculated or converted by
CorrectionFileConverter.exe
the RTC6 Software Package.
– Up to 8 correction files can be loaded to the
RTC6 PCIe Board
– Enhanced 3D Image Field
correction tables, see
3D Correction", page 240
• Coordinate transformations, see
"Coordinate Transformations", page
– The correction file is no longer transformed
(rotation, shift, extension) at download
– Matrix transformations are only applied after
Microstepping – this may cause the mark speed
to change
