The RTC5 control board provides synchronous, interference-resistant control of scan systems, lasers and peripheral equipment in real time. It is available as a PC interface board, PCI-Express board, or PCIe/104 module.
A high-performance signal processor and the supplied DLL simplify programming under Windows. The RTC5 communicates with scan systems via the SL2-100 data transfer protocol. This protocol supports 20-bit control signals and thereby a 16x higher positioning resolution compared to the predecessor board, the RTC4.
