CONFIGURATIONS
3.1
Master-Master Configuration
It is possible to run up to four master SP-ICE-1 PCI/e PRO control cards in one PC in order to
control up to four RAYLASE scan heads independently. All cards are supplied with the on-
board processor. Each card controls one scan head and one laser. Each head is associated
with its own correction file via software. To switch between the scan cards, the
Set_Active_Card control command can be used.
3.2
Master-Slave Configuration
You can run up to four SP-ICE-1 PCI/e PRO control cards in one PC interconnected through
an data bus of the boards. In this way it is possible to control up to four RAYLASE scan heads
synchronously. Each scan head needs its own SP-ICE-1 PCI/e PRO control card. The card
which serves as master must be equipped with an on-board processor. It controls the first
head, the laser modulation and the timing. All the other cards serve as slaves and do not need
an on-board processor. Each head is associated with its own correction file. This ensures that
all heads are executing synchronously.
* In master-slave mode only the master may use AD1.
Please note:
A master control card can not be used as slave (v. v.) because of a different
hardware configuration.
