All our laser control software is designed to easily integrate with either an Application Protocol Interface (API) or ScanMaster Designer (SMD) software from Cambridge Technology. The ScanMaster Controller (SMC) is designed with two proprietary technologies: GSBus data transfer protocol and our ScanPack control scheme. The GSBus protocol supports 24-bit control signals, the highest command resolution in the industry. ScanPack control is based on comprehensive modeling of the dynamic behavior of our digital galvanometer thus predictively planning the scanning path. The SMC offers a wide range of programmable control signals that provide flexibility in laser control that is synchronized with galvanometer motion and positions. Our plug-and-play interface allows for easy connection to commonly used lasers.
Our ScanMaster Designer (SMD) software is simple to use and features a graphic design environment with an intuitive user interface. The software uses standard file formats and features a wide range of editing tools for easy job creation. ScanMaster API provides access to most of the SMD functionality through your own user interface.
All of our laser control and software products are optimized to drive any of our galvanometer XY scanner sets and scan heads.
