Tailored Drivers for Optimal Control

Efficiently harness the potential of the SC-30 scanner with our specialized drivers:

  • ED Driver: Offering a square wave reference output signal and adjustable amplitude control, this driver ensures precise control over scan parameters.
  • AGC Driver: Boasting superior amplitude stability (0.01%), the AGC driver provides a sine wave reference signal for position output, TTL level square wave reference signal, and adjustment of the phase relationship between the mirror position and output signals.
  • PLD-1S Driver: Achieve synchronization to an external clock input by using the PLD-1S driver. Perfect for scenarios where synchronization of the scanner to other system components is paramount.
  • PLD-2S Driver and PLD-2SXY Driver: These drivers enable synchronized operation of two scanners, creating patterns such as circles, ellipses, and raster scans.
