chapter 2.3 "Optional Functionality", page 27 ). After
activation, this connector outputs – depending on
the assigned correction tables (see above) – the same
signal types as the primary scan head connector.
Slot cover (Optional)
SCANLAB recommends using an additional slot cover
for connecting a second scan head or a Z axis. A
suitable slot cover with a 9-pin D-SUB connector –
with the same pin-out as the primary scan head
connector (see
figure 4, page 41 ) – is available from
SCANLAB.
4.3.2 XY2-100 Converter (Optional)
SCANLAB’s optional XY2-100 converter converts the
RTC
®
5’s SL2-100 control signals (20 bit) into
XY2-100-compliant signals (16 bit), and converts the
scan system’s XY2-100 status signals into SL2-100-
compliant signals (see
page 127 ).
The XY2-100 converter introduces a 10
µ
s runtime
latency to scan-system control. This runtime latency
can be compensated by increasing the LaserOn Delay
and LaserOff Delay by 10
µ
s each (see
set_laser_delays , page 442 ).
Figure 6 shows the dimensions of the XY2-100
converter.
The XY2-100 converter’s 9-pin D-SUB connector
should be directly plugged into the RTC
®
5’s primary
scan head connector or (via a short-as-possible 1:1
cable) connected to the corresponding pins of the
RTC
®
5’s secondary scan head connector (for the pin-
out, see figure 4 and figure 5 on page 41 ).
The XY2-100 converter’s 25-pin D-SUB connector is
compatible with scan heads that provide an XY2-100
standard interface. The pin-out is shown in
figure 7,
page 43 .
