The SCANLAB RTC5 Real Time Scan-System Controller is a hardware device used primarily in laser scanning and laser marking systems. It is typically employed in high-precision applications such as industrial automation, material processing, and laser-based manufacturing. The RTC5 controller manages and synchronizes laser scanners, ensuring that they function in real-time for precise control during operations such as engraving, cutting, or marking.

To communicate with the RTC5 controller from a Windows computer, you need the appropriate Windows driver. This driver allows the computer to interface with the controller, enabling the management of scanning parameters, real-time feedback, and integration with other software tools for controlling the scanning or marking processes.
