I was thinking the same thing.
Ben, the new Maxyz modules sport one of the fastest blanking circuits available for a show laser. My Maxyz module pair is faster than *EVERY* other laser I own or have ever tested, including the newest model Lasever blue that I just received from China. (Which, I'm happy to report, is now re-installed in my projector and working quite well!)
Marconi guarantees 50Khz performance on these new units, but the circuit has been tested to 120Khz, and could be pushed to 150Khz with a few mods.
Actually, the super-fast blanking (and recovery) on the new Maxyz modules is a bit of a pain if you're using Chinese lasers with them... They're so quick, they make red tails at the beginning of just about any line that has a little red in it. I need to build that delay circuit that Bill Benner was talking about in an earlier thread. (Think the circuit is still on the Pangolin website somewhere...) Sorry Chuck, but there really is such a thing as too fast!
Ben, my old TTL Maxyz module wasn't much faster than my original lab top Lasever Green (which was also TTL) that I've had since 2002. If you've got one of those old TTL units, then what you're reporting makes sense.
But if you've got a new Maxyz module, then either something is seriously wrong with it, or your galvos aren't tuned properly and the fast blanking recovery on the Maxyz module is showing you the "skid" of the scanner as it overshoots the point and snaps back, while the other laser doesn't come on until the galvo has already centered on the point.
