Status: standardisation successful
Standard: LIA202307

Header file: https://sourceforge.net/p/lasia/code/ci/master/tree/LIA202307/xy3_100.h
Description: For decades XY2-100 has been the ultimate standard for digital laser scanhead control. This protocol was open to the public, easy to use and therefore accepted by all nameable vendors of scanners and controllers. Despite its big success this protocol is outdated now: limited to 16 bit working area resolution and with an even more limited backchannel, it is no longer suitable for nowadays applications.... read more

Standard: LIA202102
Specification: https://sourceforge.net/p/lasia/code/ci/master/tree/LIA202102/analog_scanhead_specification.pdf
Description: For XY2-100 and XY3-100 digitally controlled scanheads there exists a clear an unique description of the hardware interface and pinout of the used connector, but no such interface exists for scanheads that make use of analog control signals. Thus it is the goal of this standard to provide a defined hardware interface which is used by both, controller cards and analogue controlled scanheads avoiding the necessity for proprietary wiring and cable manufacturing.

Standard: LIA202101
Specification: https://sourceforge.net/p/lasia/code/ci/master/tree/LIA202101/laser_interface_specification.pdf
Description: While for majority of MOPA/fiber lasers there is a more or less common interface available which is used by most vendors at least in some compatible way, no such interface exists for CO2 or YAG lasers. It is the goal of this standard to provide a defined hardware interface which is used by both, controller cards and lasers avoiding the necessity for complex and proprietary wiring and cable manufacturing. This standard describes a hardware interface which gives the possibility to connect controller and laser with one single cable that establishes a simple 1:1 connection
