[tony220171]

Anyone heard of this program? Looks good.

That's Jian's company, he makes the DT40 pro scanners. He's a member of this forum (Jian725), you could try PM'ing him and ask him about it directly.

DR Lava has a copy, and I've seen it.

Seems to be a very solid system.

Its available from its creator in Germany.

Its not that new.

The only issue besides freezing up on me was that the DAC never outputs a full 5v on the laser modulation lines. That happened at the first SELEM....I was very happy Bill was there and had a QM2000 for me !

I have been using LDS 2008 with the EzAudDac driver with good results, but the LDS 2009 version is designed to prevent EzAudDac.dll from working as an Easylase.dll replacement (the sound card DAC is NOT a replacement for easlyase). That said, the RIYA DACs are supported by LDS and work well.

LDS works well with easylase too. In fact I have a LDS2007 lying around that I never use - too busy programming my own stuff. PM me if interested.

Hum, now we have a German laser mofia too?

Not mafia exactly, to sum it up "You scratch my back I'll scratch yours"is the way they seem to roll. A few LDS users complained about the 'politik' of what and how drivers get into LDS. A Easylase reseller writes much of the driver code for LDS and as such has control over things like this, that might have played a role. In public the reason was given that they wanted to prevent the easy export of shows through a driver DLL that writes ILDA. However shows can still be exported through any number of analog-to-ilda methods, and no driver DLL that exports to ILDA has ever surfaced. Plus, I don't think they did this to RIYA drivers.

In contrast, carmangary added support for as many DACs as he could to spaghetti, even if the manufacturers hadn't 'scratched his back'.

LDS 2007 Pro can export shows directly to an ilda file with an entry in the geosbas.ini, so the analog-to-ilda device is not necessary...
