[SML] Laser spikes

[Jared Fortney]

Thanks to Scott, Bruce and Bruce for the info.  We are setting up a
system very much like what you describe as Chris Fretts' solution.  We
are waiting on delivery of a Brightline laser marker from
www.laserglow.com.  They are Canadian, though I think they ship to the
US without much hassle.  It's a 3v laser with a 120v power supply that
can be switched to activate the laser with a few seconds of warmup
(according to them).  There is also a 5v TTL control circuit for
instant switching.  We are going to set it up so it can be controlled
from the lighting console.  Fingers crossed it all works out easily!
