Controlling the Laser

• The signal levels of the
no longer determined by a jumper configuration.
Instead, they are software-configured, see
set_laser_control
• LASER Connector with all
the RTC6 PCIe Board slot cover, see
"LASER Connector", page
connector only by the SCANLAB laser adapter, see
Section "Laser Adapter (Accessory)", page 76
• LASER Connector configurable by software
command, see Chapter 7.4.2 "Configuring the
LASER Connector", page 187
• Laser Control Signals with 15 ns resolution and
20 mA output current
• Standby signals in YAG modes, see
"YAG Modes 1, 2, 3, 5", page 190
• YAG Mode 5: Time between FirstPulseKiller signal
and first laser pulse in YAG mode is freely
programmable, see Chapter 7.4.4 "YAG Modes 1,
2, 3, 5", page 190
• Laser Mode 6: LASERON signal synchronized with
a continuously-running LASER1 signal, see
Chapter 7.4.6 "Laser Mode 6", page 194

Interfaces for Peripheral Equipment

• 16-bit digital output, see
Input Port and 16-Bit Digital Output Port",
page 78, and Chapter 9.1.1 "16-Bit Digital
Output Port", page 282:
– Level of output signals selectable by a jumper
(3.3 V or 5 V)
– LATCH signal for synchronization of data
transmission
• 8-bit digital output port, see
Output Port", page 81
Digital Output Port", page
– Provided at the EXTENSION 2 socket connector
(on the RTC4, this socket connector is named
"LASER EXTENSION")
– LATCH signal for synchronization of data
transmission
– Adjustable "stop output value"
• Analog output ports, see
Output Port 1 and 2", page
"12-Bit Analog Output Port 1 and 2", page
– 12 bit resolution
– 0...10 V (0 V...2.50 V no longer available)
– Adjustable "stop output value"
• 16-bit digital input port, see
Digital Input Port and 16-Bit Digital Output Port",
page 78, and Chapter 9.2.1 "16-Bit Digital
Input Port", page 288.
– SYNC signal for synchronization of data
