8.8.9. Output Hardware
As any output optimization setting applies per hardware, the desired output channel
must be specified. This is done with the Hardware Output dropdown menu.
Any settings refer to the hardware NUMBER, which can be selected here – not to the
physical DAC (which can be the same, but doesn’t need to be).
This means that changing the physical interface (DAC) for Hardware 1, the
optimization parameters are preserved and are used with the newly applied DAC.
8.8.10. Scrollbar PPS
The PPS scrollbar specifies the actual output scan speed for the selected hardware
device. The “PPS” is an acronym for Points Per Second ad specifies the output rate of
the scanners. This setting must be adjusted to match the scanner system of the laser
projector.
For determining the correct PPS rate for the very scanner system, please refer to our
tutorial: http://www.showeditor.com/tune-scanners
8.8.11. Picture Center after each Frame
If this option is selected, the Galvo mirrors always move from the picture center to
the first point of the figure and from the last point back to the center. This setting is
required for some Galvo. It is better to select the option if its requirement is unclear.
“Wide Move Scanners” work with this option unchecked.
Basic Galvo systems require this option checked. The movement to the centre adds
about 20 additional points, but it makes sure that longer movement paths are
displayed correctly.
8.8.12. Frame-Start, Point-Repetition
The additional blanked points that are additionally placed at the initial projection
point of the figure are specified here. The number automatically increases, if the
value for the Color Correction is negative. The value can not be smaller than the
number of color shift points. Usually this value has no significant effect on modern
show laser light systems, so the smallest possible value can be chosen.
8.8.13. Frame-End, Point-Repetition
The additional blanked points that are additionally placed at the last projection
point of the figure are specified here. The number automatically increases, if the
value for the Color Correction is positive. The value can not be smaller than the
number of color shift points. Usually this value has no significant effect on modern
show laser light systems, so the smallest possible value can be chosen.
8.8.14. Scanner movement, if output is off
These settings specify the scanner behaviour under two different circumstances:
1. Scanner Safety is in use
If the laser projector is equipped with a scanner safety, delays if the laser
output can happen after blacked out sequences. Different types of safeties
are available. If a type is in use that monitors the scanner movement only, it
can happen that the safety jumps in even if there is just a small break in the
