Dear guys (and possibly girls, why not) I have a question which may sound quite newbie, but I can assure I'm not newbie at all (just newbie in this matter :)
I am currently building a laser cutter machine and for that I will need to be able to output pulses between 25kHz and 50kHz (50kHz would be the max but would be nice to be achievable) Now I tried this with EMC on a very high end machine I have here (A Dual Xeon quadcore machine on a serverboard) and emc is aproximately capable of doing it. Little detail: Thats a $4000 machine and a little expensive for controlling a machine :) Its nice for tests but too expensive to put in the same place as the laser. So... is there any way that I could put some kind of card into my pc (a regular $400 household machine) which could take care of these timings, so that I could nicely to 50kHz, but with a lot cheaper PC ? I have heard about these MESA cards, but I don't know at all what they do and I also don't know if they have to be programmed for something??? So any information / hints / links would be very helpfull. If I understand well, then the biggest problem for a pc is to maintain a steady rate, so maybe there is a solution for that ? Kind regards, And many thanks in advance, Bart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
