9. Operation Modes
(Firmware version: 20190520x - Admin tool: v1.33)
This laser system can be operated in many different operation modes. It is possible to directly control the laser system via computer and laser show software as well as to trigger effects stored to the internal SD card via DMX/ArtNet consoles, in stand-alone mode or in sound-to-light mode. It is also possible to use the laser system as receiver for ILDA streaming signals from external ShowNET interfaces.
1. Download admin tool
For testing the show laser system and for other purposes, like uploading ILDA files to the integrated SD card, download the admin tool here:
https://www.laserworld.com/shownet_mainboard
Open the „ShowNET-Admin_Tool.exe" whenever this manual refers to the admin tool.
IMPORTANT: It's not possible to access the admin tool, when you are accessing the laser system via software (Showeditor, Showcontroller, etc.). When opening the admin tool while accessing the laser system in a non-direct-control operation mode, the admin tool asks to press on a button to switch to network mode for manual control.
2. Direct computer control
a) ILDA control with external DAC interface
The laser system can be controlled via ILDA control signal. There are an ILDA-in (ILDA input) and an ILDA-thropugh connector at the back side of the device. Connect the laser system to the control interface (DAC) by using an ILDA cable. Do not connect the laser to the standard parallel port at the computer, but always use an appropriate ILDA interface. After that the laser can becontrolled by a show laser control software. Use the ILDA-through connector to daisy-chain the ILDA signal to another laser system.
As this laser system has an integrated DAC interface as mainboard (ShowNET) it is possible to directly control the laser via LAN without the need of ILDA cables or an external DAC interface.
b) Direct operation via laser show software, with LAN connection
(1) SHOWEDITOR - free laser show software
This laser system comes with an integrated network interface. The Showeditor laser software is included with this ShowNET mainboard for free. It is a full feature laser control software with LIVE and Timeline control mode and many free laser shows included in delivery.
Use standard ethernet cable (RJ45 standard) to connect the LAN port of the show laser system to the computer. Standard network switches can be used to connect multiple laser systems at once.
The software can be downloaded for free on:
https://www.showeditor.com
After downloading and installing the software, open the .exe file on the computer and use the software to operate the show laser system.
Details on installation and use of the software please find on the aforementioned website.
(2) SHOWCONTROLLER - professional laser show and multimedia control software suite
The integrated ShowNET mainboard fully supports the direct control of the laser via Showcontroller as well. Showcontroller is a mightly software tool with many professional features. It is very intuitive and thus easy to get started with, too.
The Software and a Demo Version can be downloaded on:
https://www.showcontroller.com
A license can be obtained from where this laser has been purchased.
3. Trigger ILDA files on the internal SD card and own effects
This laser system has an integrated memory (SD card) that can hold ILDA files with laser frames and animations that can be triggered in different ways. It is possible to just use the standard files that come with delivery or change the files to new, custom ones.
a) Upload own ILDA files to the integrated SD card
Besides the possibility to just upload *.ild files to the SD card with a standard card reader, it is also possible to remotely load ILDA files to the integrated SD card via LAN without having to open the device and extract the SD card from the mainboard.
To change the ILDA files, open the admin tool and select the tab ,SD Card' as shown in the picture below:
Select the folder with the ILDA files on the local hard drive by clicking on the button with the three points on it:
IMPORTANT: Custom laser files have to be stored in *.ild format and must be named with a number from .000.ild' to .255.ild'. Each number represents a DMX value on the respective fader.
To upload *.ild files greater than 6 MB, please use an external card reader. Otherwise the import may cause problems.
Select the *.ild files to be uploaded from the computer (left side) to the integrated SD card memory (right side).
Click on the button with the two arrows to the right to upload the *.ild files to the integrated SD card. The files are copied and saved now.
Be aware that, due to the optimized data structure on the mainboard, the upload of ILDA files can take a while! (several minutes!)
IMPORTANT: It is not possible to upload any other data than *.ild files to the SD card!
If you want to change the microSD card inside the housing, please contact the Laserworld Service Department.
Due to the huge number of available micro SD cards in the market, it cannot be guaranteed that all cards are compatible with the laser systems mainboard. The use of standard sized (max. 2GB) SD cards instead of high capacity SDHC or XDHC cards is recommended.
It is also possible to copy the existing *.ild files on the SD card to the computer by selecting the files on the right side. Then click on the button with the two arrows to the left.
With the button, invert selection' it is possible to select all files with just one click.
The button with the exclamation mark formats the SD card and thus deletes all existing files.
To delete single files, select the very *.ild file and then click on the button with the ,X' on it (next to the one with the exclamation mark).
In case they got deleted by accident, the standard files card can be downloaded on
https://www.laser-interface.com
b) Stand-Alone Mode / Automatic Mode / Playback Mode
| Dip switch setting | |||||||||

| On (1) / Off (0) | 0 0 0 0 1 | 0 1 0 0 | |||||||
In stand-alone mode the ILDA files on the integrated SD card are triggered automatically. This setting is especially suitable for demo purposes or for fixed laser installations.
The stand alone mode allows for additional advanced features: As standard, the stand alone mode cycles through the ILDA files on the SD cards and plays the consecutively and in a general loop.
If DIP switch 4 is activated too, the stand alone mode only plays one specific ILDA file and just loops this file.
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 9 1 | 0 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 0 0 1 0 1 | 0 1 0 0 |
Dip switch 1 can be used to step to the next file (just switch DIP switch 1 to on, then to off again)
Dip switch 2 can be used to step to the previous file (just switch DIP switch 2 to on, then to off again)
c) Demo Mode / Automatic Animation
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 00010 | 0010 |
In demo mode the ILDA files on the integrated SD card are triggered automatically. The ILDA files are not only played back like in the stand alone mode, but they are also automatically animated by ShowNET's internal intelligence. This creates dynamic animations, even if only static frames are on the SD card.
This setting is especially suitable for demo purposes.
d) Sound-to-Light Mode / Music Mode
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 00000 | 1010 |

Important Note: Operate scanners/galvos only at appropriate speed according to the respective scan angle. Too high scan speed will damage the scanning system.
4. Network Operation
Important:
Only ShowNET interfaces and potentially an ArtNet controller must be used in the same network. Avoid using other network devices in the same network.
Avoiding connectivity issues, Troubleshooting:
- Make sure that no firewall is blocking the network traffic between the computer and the show laser device. The firewall has to be configured to grant network access to the laser show software.
- If the network connection does not work, try to temporarily disable the firewall. If this helps, create a matching rule and re-activate the firewall.
- Whenever the DIP switch settings for the network mode are changed (for example, change static IP address or switch from DHCP to AutoIP mode), the show laser device has to be restarted (switch power off and on).
- The interface has to be connected to a 100Mbit or Gigabit Ethernet LAN. 10Mbit Ethernet is not suitable.
- The use of WIFI (WLAN) is not recommended. This will result in decreased output performance and unsafe operation.
Attention - maximum cable length:
When using ethernet cables with RJ45 connection, always pay attention to the maximum length of the very cable. E.g.:
Cat 5e = .100m
Cat 6 = .50m
Cat 7 = max. 50 m

You can use normal network switches to amplify the signal and extend the range!
Without amplification of the signal (e.g. via a switch) it is recommended to use fiber transmission as soon as longer distances are required.
a) DHCP Mode
| Dip switch setting | |||||||||
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 9 10 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 0 0 0 0 0 | 0 0 0 0 | |||||||
In this mode, the IP address is provided by a DHCP server. Therefore, a DHCP server has to be available in the network. For example, this could be a cheap 100MBit network router with integrated DHCP server. This option does not work if there is no device in the same network that can distribute and manage network addresses as DHCP! In this case, try AutoIP as connection method (e.g. if the laser is directly connected to the computer)!
b) AutoIP
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 000010000 |
In this mode, the IP address is negotiated automatically without the need for a DHCP server. A Windows computer with enabled AutoIP is necessary to use this feature. In Windows 7, 8 and 10, AutoIP is enabled by default. In Windows XP it has to be enabled manually. Before trying to connect a ShowNET to the computer, make sure that the AutoIP feature is enabled. If AutoIP is selected, but there is a DHCP server in the network (e.g. in a router), the IP assignment cannot work sometimes. Use DHCP mode in this case.
c) Static IP address
Using a static IP address is the most stable option for network control. The IP address consists of 4 numbers, seperated by a point. The first two number are always 192.168 and cannot be changed. The last two numbers (adr1 and adr2) can be configured with DIP switches. The resulting IP address will be something like
192.168.adr1.adr2
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 000 - adr2 = 50 | 00 - adr1 = 0 | 1000 | ||||||
| 1000 - adr2 = 51 | 10 - adr1 = 1 | ||||||||
| 0100 - adr2 = 52 | 01 - adr1 = 2 | ||||||||
| 1100 - adr2 = 53 | 11 - adr1 = 254 | ||||||||
| 0010 - adr2 = 54 | |||||||||
| 1010 - adr2 = 55 | |||||||||
| 0110 - adr2 = 56 | |||||||||
| 1110 - adr2 = 57 | |||||||||
| 0001 - adr2 = 58 | |||||||||
| 1001 - adr2 = 59 | |||||||||
| 0101 - adr2 = 60 | |||||||||
| 1101 - adr2 = 61 | |||||||||
| 0011 - adr2 = 62 | |||||||||
| 1011 - adr2 = 63 | |||||||||
| 0111 - adr2 = 64 | |||||||||
| 1111 - adr2 = 65 | |||||||||
The Windows computer needs to have an IP address within the same network subnet.
Example:
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 6 7 8 9 1 | 0 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 1 0 1 0 | 0 | 1 0 0 0 |
This will assign IP address 192.168.0.61 to the ILDA interface. Assign a different IP address inside the same subnet to the Windows computer, for example 192.168.0.100 (subset = 255.255.255.0)
d) ILDA Streaming
The Laserworld ShowNET interface is capable to act as range extender for ILDA signals by transforming an incoming ILDA signal on the ILDA IN interface to a standard UDP network signal and transferring this signal back to standard ILDA in a receiver unit (obviously an external ShowNET interface is required as sender for this kind of application!). Do NOT send the signal over Wifi, this transmission method is not suitable in a professional environment.
Sender-Receiver configuration for ILDA over LAN, range extender use
The sender uses an IP address range between 192.168.2.70 and 192.168.2.85 and transmits the signal to a receiver that has addresses in the range between 192.168.2.50 and 192.168.2.65. The specific IP addresses need to be set with DIP switches. Make sure there are no other devices in the same network that use the same IP addresses.

| On (1) / Off (0) | 0000 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.70 sends to 192.168.2.50001 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.71 sends to 192.168.2.51001 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.72 sends to 192.168.2.520011 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.73 sends to 192.168.2.530100 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.74 sends to 192.168.2.540101 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.75 sends to 192.168.2.550110 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.76 sends to 192.168.2.560111 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.77 sends to 192.168.2.571000 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.78 sends to 192.168.2.581001 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.79 sends to 192.168.2.591010 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.80 sends to 192.168.2.601011 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.81 sends to 192.168.2.611100 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.82 sends to 192.168.2.621101 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.83 sends to 192.168.2.631110 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.84 sends to 192.168.2.641111 -> IP sender: 192.168.2.85 sends to 192.168.2.65 | sender: 0 receiver: 1 | 0 1 | 1 0 | 0 | |||||
Example:
Sender IP address setting:
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 00100 | 1100 |
This assigns IP address 192.168.2.71 to the Sender.
The corresponding receiver needs this IP address setting:
| switch 1 2 3 4 5 | 678910 | ||||||||
| On (1) / Off (0) | 00110 | 1100 |
This assigns IP address 192.168.2.51 to the receiver.
The only difference between sender and receiver configuration is dip switch 5, which is 0 for the sender and 1 for the receiver.
10. Operation Instruction - FB4 version
The following operation instructions only apply, if the Diode Series laser has been purchased with built-in Pangolin FB4.
With built-in Pangolin FB4 interface, the Diode Series laser can be controlled over LAN (network cable) or ILDA cable. It is possible either to connect a LAN cable directly from the PC (laptop / tablet) to the laser, or use a network infrastructure (switch, router).
a. Connect the power cable to the device and then to the mains.
b. In order to provide the control signal to the laser device, connect the built-in FB4 interface with the PC or Laptop through network cable (CAT-5 or higher). The built-in FB4 interface can be controlled directly from a PC (laptop / tablet) over Pangolin Quick Show or Pangolin Beyond Software.
c. On software startup, the FB4 interface should be automatically detected and it should show up in the status bar.
d. Connect the interlock adapter to the interlock connector. The show laser doesn't work if the interlock adapter isn't connected to the device.
