8.3. Channels (RTI PIKO RGB 22 / RTI PIKO Rainbow Series):
8.3.1. 3-Channel Adapter
This adapter is required to operate the 5 or 6 color channel laser system with an interface
which otherwise supports only 3 color channels. If there are only 3 output channels instead
of 5 or 6, this adapter is required to get the full power of the laser system.
In case you are using a controller with just three color outputs (RGB) you can use the provi-
ded D-Sub connector to wire both red together and blue and cyan together.
You just need to plug the connector into the ILDA OUT plug.
Important: If you are using this D-Sub connector you cannot use controllers with more than
three channels. Otherwise the controller hardware would pull down the intensity of red and
blue! If you have a controller with more than three channels you need to patch the colors in
the software and should not use this D-Sub connector.

The above table shows the assignment of the channels with red and blue. Only the first thr-
ree channels are occupied by RGB, the remaining three channels can be used freely.
8.3.2. External Interlock
The Remote Control Pad has a built-in emergency stop. If there is the need for an external
interlock, please disconnect the Remote Control Pad and use the ‚Control‘ connection (RJ-45
connector) to connect it with an external interlock.
8.4. Browser operation instructions
The RTI PIKO laser series can be configured via browser over LAN / WiFi. This is possible through
computer, laptop, but also through mobile phones or tablets, if the control signal is sent over
WiFi via a WiFi capable Router / Access Point. Devices connected to the same local network as
the laser systems are capable to accessing the dedicated laser user interface through a previ-
ously configured IP address or an automatically assigned IP address from a DHCP server.
If only one single laser shall be configured and the laser system is directly connected to the
control computer by LAN cable, please continue with chapter 8.1.2.1.
