Notes
• Each RTC
®
5’s ID number indicates which options
are enabled and/or installed. Enabled or installed
options are stated in the packing list as follows:
– “Fly” (Processing-on-the-fly option)
– “3D” (3D option)
– “SSHC” (“second scan head control” option)
– “DCDC” (optoelectronic couplers)
• The get_rtc_version command can be used for
querying whether the Processing-on-the-fly, the
3D and/or the “second scan head control” option
are enabled.
• If you need one or more of the Processing-on-the-
fly, “3D” and/or “second scan head control”
options and they aren’t already activated on your
board, then you can activate them via special
upgrade software available from SCANLAB. When
requesting the upgrade, you’ll need to supply the
serial number of your RTC
®
5 board.
If, on the other hand, you want optoelectronic
couplers installed on your RTC
®
5, then you’ll
need to send the board to SCANLAB.
• For optical data transfer between the RTC
®
5 and
the scan system (via a polymer optical fiber), an
appropriate data cable is required. But special
(optical) data interfaces are not required – neither
for the RTC
®
5 nor for the scan system (see
page 44 ).
2.4 Jumper Settings and Type
Identification
SCANLAB ships RTC
®
5s in various jumper configura-
tions. The jumpers JP1-JP8 are soldered junctions and
customers can subsequently reconfigure them by
using a soldering iron.
2.4.1 Jumper JP1: Selecting the
Output Signal Level at the
EXTENSION 1 Connector
Via Jumper JP1 on the back side of the RTC
®
5 (see
figure 3 on page 40 ), the level of all output signals at
the EXTENSION 1 connector can be configured for
5 V or 3.3 V (also see
page 49 ).
2.4.2 Jumper 2-8: Configuring Pin15
and Pin17 at the EXTENSION 2
Connector
Via the jumpers JP2-JP8 on the back side of the
RTC
®
5 (see figure 3 on page 40 ), pins (15) and (17) of
the EXTENSION 2 connector can be configured (also
see
page 50 ). The most significant bit (DATA7) of the
8-bit output value can be assigned to pin (15) or to
Caution!
• When altering a jumper configuration, take
care not to damage the board’s electronics!
Jumper JP1 Signal Level
Position 1-2 5 V
Position 2-3 3.3 V
open no output signals
Caution!
• Be sure that not all three jumper pins are closed.
Otherwise, the board’s electronics will be
damaged.
