Figure 24: Card Settings for RTC5 Card
Files:
Program: Specifies the path to the RTC5 Files folder, delivered together with the scanner controller card driver.
RTC DLL: Specifies the path to the RTC5DLL.dll file. This file is in the RTC5 Files folder, delivered together with the scanner controller card driver.
Using a 64 bit operating system you should nevertheless load a 32 bit RTC5DLL.dll, not the 64 bit RTC5DLLx64.dll. |
Correction: Specifies the location of the correction file. This file is delivered together with the scanner card. The extension is *.ct5. Click on Browse button to make a search on the files location or type in the file name into the edit window. It is possible to load two different correction files. This is mainly used in connection with the secondary head feature of the RTC5.
Offset, Gain, Rotation: Allow a global adjustment for each correction file. These features are mainly used to adjust the fields of both heads when a secondary head is used. See also: Chapter Optic Settings Dialog.
For the RTC5 card the X and Y Gain values have to be equal. |
- This high-end laser marking software system is richly featured, loaded with advanced capabilities, including importation of many vector and bitmap graphics formats, finely tunable bar code formats including ID Matrix 2-D codes, precise vector hatch fill for graphics, True Type fonts, ID Matrix 2D bar codes, tool path optimization, and a large.
- Common Specifications. XY2-100 enhanced protocol. 16-bit positioning resolution. 10 ps output period. Drivers for (32-bit and 64-bit) Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP and DLLs (32-bit and 64-bit). Outputs for controlling a scan head and a laser. Various laser modes selectable (e.g. YAG modes, CO2 mode, fiber laser, polarity). Two 10-bit analog outputs. One 8-bit digital.
- RTC 5 - SCANLAB Here you can download RTC software packages with the current drivers for your SCANLAB RTC control board. For RTC5 boards (PCI, PCI-Express) and RTC6 boards, the SCANLAB laserDESK software is available. LaserDESK lets you easily create and execute professional laser jobs.
3D Ext: Opens a dialog, where a Z-Table can be defined. For detailed information have a look at the RTC5 manual. See chapter Optic3D for RTC cards.
Laser: Globally enables or disables laser output.
Mark on Fly: Requires the MarkingOnTheFly RTC option. MOTF related parameters are described in chapter Card Specific: RTC cards.
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number. Here you can download RTC software packages with the current drivers for your SCANLAB RTC control board. For RTC5 boards (PCI, PCI-Express) and RTC6 boards, the SCANLAB laserDESK software is available. LaserDESK lets you easily create and execute professional laser jobs. Please ask your sales contact, if you should need additional information.
StandBy: Globally enables standby mode.
Stand-by: Q-Switch length in µs for stand-by modus. If this is set to zero the stand-by mode is switched off.
Half-period: Half of the laser pulse period for stand-by modus.
Settings are done after leaving the global dialog Settings. Standby Settings for pens will overwrite these settings if enabled for a pen as soon as this pen is used. |
EdgeLevel: The variable Polygon Delay gets very high if the angle of two successive vectors is close to 180° . This can lead to burn in effects. To prevent this an EdgeLevel value can be defined. If the Polygon Delay between two mark commands is greater than this value the RTC5 card switches off the laser after the first command and after the laser-off delay is over. Then a new polygon marking with the second vector will be started.
Var Jump Delay: Normally after a jump command a constant jump delay is inserted. But for very small jumps it is not necessary to have such a long jump delay. The jump delay can be reduced without loosing marking quality. The miminum delay is the delay for a jump of length 0.
IO:
Lamp/8-bit: Sets the 8 bit or one of the digital outputs of the RTC Card during start up (as selected under Laserport). The 8 bit Output corresponds to the write_8bit_port command of the RTC.
16 BIT Out: Sets the 16 bit output of the RTC Card during start up.
Figure 25: If LEE Mode is selected, the eighth bit is selectable separately
Mode: Here you can choose the type of the laser.
YAG2, YAG3 and YAG4: YAG4 corresponds to Laser Mode 4 like described in the SCANLAB RTC manual - YAG2 and YAG3 respectively.
LaserMode6: A synchronization signal will be given at Laser1 output for laser active and laser standby operation. Please see RTC5 manual for detailed information.
VarPolyDelay: If checked the length of the polygon delay gets varied depending on the angle between two successive vectors.
MoF: Shows whether the scanner card is able to do MarkingOnTheFly or not.
z-Axis: Indicates whether the card is able to do 3D Marking or not.
PixelDAC: Enables Amplitude Modulation.
PixelTime: Enables Pulse Width Modulation. For more details see chapter Pulse Modulation.
InvertPixel: Inverts bitmap pixels.
Pixel Mode 0: See chapter Pixelmode.
InvertLaserOn: Inverts the LaserOn status bit ( 15-pin SUB-D Laser connector ).
InvertLaser1/2: Inverts the Laser1 and Laser2 status bits ( 15-pin SUB-D Laser connector ).
AutoCal: Displays the ScAutoCalib button within the functionality object toolbar to generate AutoCalib control objects in the entity list, see section AutoCal Control Object.
DoNotCutOffPulsesOnLaserOn: The final pulse is fully executed despite completion of the LASERON signal. Please consult RTC5 manual for Ctrl Command set_laser_control at Bit #0 Pulse Switch Setting.
Enable Output Synchronization: Synchronize scanner signals with a freely running laser. Please read RTC5 manual section 7.4.10 for detailed information.
Laserport: Defines the port that sends the power signal for the laser if the laser is not a CO2 Laser. For a CO2 Laser the power signal is done by modulating the Laser A signal.

Invert: Here the laser power value can be inverted. Note: In case of 8-bit this checkbox does not invert the bits.

Auto Laser Control...: By clicking this button a new window opens where a position or speed control of the laser can be defined. For more details pleas refer to the RTC5 manual. See chapter Auto Laser Control.
