C
- Client, Client Application, Client Program, Client-App
An application program, running on a Host-PC, which uses either the SP-ICE-3 ClientLib or the SP-ICE-3 NativeLib to communicate with a SP-ICE-3 Card.
- ClientLib
A .NET library which provides an API to the SP-ICE-3 Card for .NET (managed) Clients.
It provides facilities for communicating with and configuring the card, for building command-lists and sending them to the card, and for obtaining results, status, and exceptions from the card.
R
- RTB
That part of the SP-ICE-3 Card's firmware which provides the interface for the ClientLib/NativeLib.
It communicates with the ClientLib, accepts and interprets commands from it, executes command-lists, propagates data as necessary to the underlying firmware and hardware levels, and returns results, status, and exceptions to the ClientLib/NativeLib.
N
- NativeLib
An extern "C"/stdcall library, available for both Windows and Linux (x86 / x86_64), which provides an API to the SP-ICE-3 Card for native (non-managed) Clients.
It provides facilities for communicating with and configuring the card, for building command-lists and sending them to the card, and for obtaining results, status, and exceptions from the card.
Scanner and Optical

F
- Focal Point
The point at which the scanner system focuses the laser beam.
R
- RL3-100, SL2-100, XY2-100
Various Data Channel Protocols used for communications between the SP-ICE-3 Card and the scanners.
Laser

M
- Main Laser
Usually a relatively high power laser, used for production.
Often invisible.
P
- Pilot Laser
Usually a highly visible, relatively low-powered laser.
Typically used for manual work-piece aligment, teach-in, etc.
Process and Marking
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
J
- Jump
Movement of the focal-point with the laser off.
M
- Mark
Movement of the focal-point with the laser on.
- Marking On-The-Fly, MOTF, Target Tracking
Marking operations on moving targets.
The targets are tracked by the scanners as they pass through the Marking Field.- Marking Field
The 2D plane or 3D volume within which the focal-point can be positioned by the scanners.
Hardware and Signals
A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z
M
- Marking Engine Busy, MEB
The Marking Engine is currently outputting position updates and other timing signals.
P
- pinout
The physical arrangement of pins and their functions on a given connector or other electronic device.
