Embodiments of the present invention provide a laser surgical system with a basic set of functionality which is remotely controllable to implement an advanced set of functionality. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a basic laser surgical system may be coupled to an advanced control unit such that the basic laser surgical system may be controllable by the advanced control unit to implement a broader set of functionality. By moving less frequently used functionality to an advanced unit, the basic unit may be streamlined with regards to both cost and size, and the learning curve required to utilize the basic unit may be reduced relative to a more feature-ladened unit, allowing the basic unit to be utilized in myriad situations or procedures where an “all-in-one” unit would be less than desirable.本發明之實施例提供一種具備基本功能的雷射手術系統,其可被遙控地控制來執行更進階的功能。根據本發明之一實施例,一基本雷射手術系統可被耦合至一先進的控制單元,這樣雷射手術系統可以被先進的控制單元所控制而來執行更廣泛的功能。藉著將較少用的功能移到先進單元,基本單元就價格及尺寸而言可以更為合理’而且相較於功能更複雜之單元,使用基本單元所需的學習曲線也會降低,如此容許基本單元可被利用在「全包式」單元不受歡迎的無數情況或過程中。100...基本雷射手術單元110...通訊埠200...先進控制單元210...通訊埠220...監視器
