RTC Software

Scope of Delivery

Each RTC board includes a CD with the following

• Drivers for the current versions of Microsoft Windows with plug-and-play support for RTC PC interface boards and the ability to operate multiple RTC boards simultaneously. 
• A DLL and import declarations for binding of RTC commands to user programs.
• An HPGL converter utility for straight-forward testing of RTC operation and scan system control. Images in HPGL format can be loaded and output to an RTC board.
• iSCANcfg program for querying iDRIVE info.

• Individually calculated correction files (when ordering a package including a scan system) enable precise positioning of the laser focus and constant scan speeds.

Programming

The DLL provides a comprehensive palette of commands for creating user-specific applications (C, C++, C#, Basic, Delphi ...):

• Commands for synchronous control of the laser, scan head and peripheral equipment
• Laser signals for controlling all common laser types
• Commands for outputting vectors, arcs and bitmaps
• Commands for querying scan-system status info

• Additional commands support options such as SCANahead control, processing of moving objects (processing-on-the-fly), control of 3-axis scan systems, and simultaneous control of two scan systems
