Mamba 2.0 software only or Mamba Elements software with dac

[michelrietveld]

Looking for Mamba 2.0 software (license) to use with my easylase II usb since i already have a dac.
Or, if the price is atractive, software with dac for example Mamba Elements because i don't need the full package and don't have a large budget.

Dont know if this is interesting for you, but u can get the Elements plus DAC for €230 here which I think is not bad.

Greets!

Wow , great price !
Isn't this supposed to go on your Sinterklaas list Michel ?
you can sell the interface and keep the mamba ?

[michelrietveld]

that is a great offer, unfortunately the elements version only works with the supplied dac.
i have to investigate it this dac is also suited for the rest of my applications.
thanks for the hint by the way

ok, so i ordered the mamba elements version, apperantly the mamba elements does not run on the easylase 2 i was told but wil test it. If it does work on easylase 2 i have to figure out which dac to sell.
The resolution of the mamba dac seems higher than the easylase 16 bits vs 12 bits.

specs of

easylase:
USB full speed Interface (12MBits/Sec.)

Never judge a dac on its resolution.

Let us assume your galvo deflection is 60 degrees.
Let's assume your divergence is 1 mrad.
12 bits resolution resembles a 1/4th of your beam-diameter.
In practice you never project details as small as the diameter of your beam.
Let alone 1/64th of your beam diameter.

Probably the drift of your scan-set is much greater than the resolution of a 12 bit dac.

i canceld the order after talking to medilas engineering.
the quickport interface is only suitable for mamba elements and no use for my other programs that i run on easylase II.
so i would have to work with two controllers and i thought that i could run everything one one controller.

i will keep the easylase and look at lds dynamics (not the pro version) and compare it to maba black. They both support easylase.
