    Hey gang,

    Is there any data available on the packet construction of the (TCP/UDP?) packets which are exchanged by QS/Beyond and the FB4's?

    I have access to a couple of units with FB4's installed and I would like to experiment developing my own laser driving software, however I understand that due to competition this may be proprietary.

    In that case is there alternatively an API for QS or Beyond so one might drive frames/vertices through from an external source. Sorry I'm not familiar with the software as it is.

    Best Regards, Sam.

    Hi Sam,

    BEYOND has an API which allows you to send info into BEYOND from an external source.
    The actual protocol between Computer and FB4 is indeed proprietary.

    On github there are a couple of api examples : https://github.com/search?q=beyond+pangolin However for full information, please contact sdk(at)pangolin(dot)com

    Best regards,
