Hi Michael,
Strange, when I open essai1.beamp I can read the card config (RTC5, correction file, ...). Yes, I did save as default config. I re-did it and hereby send to you the file again.
Yes, I created the link libslrtc5.so since my in-house app uses it.
Another point: BeamConstruct keeps unchecking the "Invert Output Logic" checkbox. Maybe it is not saved in the project?
Best regards, Axel

Hi Axel,
sorry for th troubles and thanks for the -beamp-file. Unfortunately it did not contain your scanner card configuration. May be you forgot to select menu item "Save as default configuration" after you have set up your scanner card?
Just as an additional idea: the shared library that comes with Scanlab's driver package is named "libslrtc5.so.1.10.1" while the RTC5 plug-in expects a library "libslrtc5.so". Can you please check if there really exists a symlink from libslrtc5.so to libslrtc5.so.1.10.1?
Regarding the directory path that is not taken over from dialogue: I'll check that, it seems to be a problem in BeamConstruct itself.
With kind regards
Michael

It's possible... Here an empty beamp file attached.
Ok, maybe I also misconfigured one of the 2 output ports, since I did not understand why there were 2. We use serial port (through ethernet moxa converter) to configure power on the laser.
The laser is a Coherent model Avia UV. Thanks for your help.

Axel,
that sounds a bit like a bug in RTC5 plug-in. Can you please be so kind and send your current configuration? Just save an empty project and send the .beamp-File to openapc@gmail.com
Hereby another question: how are the power (pen) parameters passed on to the laser? In my app, I use a serial port, but in BeamConstruct, I did not found any such configuration panel.
Power can be set (depending on the type of laser) via 8 bit Laser Port, PWM/frequency control or analogue output. Communication with a laser via additional interfaces like serial port is prepared but currently not fully implemented (because this requires separate laser communication plug-ins for every type of laser, their communication protocols are not compatible).
Which laser are you using?
Kind regards
Jim

Axel,
there are some preconditions required in order to get it working:
- you have to compile and install the kernel-modules (provided by Scanlab)
- you have to copy the libslrtc5.so (provided by Scanlab) to a
lib-directory where it can be accessed by applications (check ldconfig)
- the device needs to be user read- and writeable (which isn't by
default policies)
If all these conditions are met and you still have troubles please let me know, then I'll provide a special debugging version of the RTC5 plug-in to you that will tell us a bit more.
Kind regards
Jim

Hi there,
Having followed the manual and configured the RTC5 card in the Project/Settings, I keep on having a "Can't allocate required resources" error when calling the "Mark" dialog.
I have Fedora 17 and the latest OpenAPC. I gave the correct firmware path (where the .dat resides), and the right correction files and output port, as configured in my other working in-house program.
I saw there is some kind of bug: when I choose the firmware directory graphically, it is not reported in the textfield. I have to write it by hand. Is it possible that something is not take into account there? Is there a way to see the config/project file contents to check that everything is right?
Best regards
