It is also possible to assign a “Virtual Device” to the hardware channels. This is
required if no real hardware output interface is connected to the computer or if
more than the connected hardware interfaces shall be used for programming and
3D preview.
If Laserworld Showeditor is run in Freeware/Demo Mode, only one hardware channel
can be assigned and only the virtual device can be chosen.
The Output Routing describes which hardware interface should output which
programmed track, so it’s also possible to route several tracks to one hardware
interface or vice versa.

2.8.3. Optimize Output
The tab Optimize Output allows for configuring the output settings of the very
hardware output device. These settings are important as they impact the output
quality. Settings that do not fit the scanners used in the very laser projector may lead
to damage of these scanners, so always read the user manual of the show laser
system you’re using at the respective hardware interface first!
Most important is to set the PPS-rate (PPS is an acronym for points per second) for the
respective Galvo system/scanner-system used in the laser system that is controlled
with the very hardware interface.
To get started it is recommended to set this value to 2/3 of the maximum given PPS
rate of the Galvo system/scanner system (see user manual of the show laser system).
Setting the scan rate too high may damage the scanners, so extra care needs to be
taken when setting this.
