Modular Controller
The Model 8000 Modular Controller is a result of Newport s continuing
commitment to provide advanced laser diode instrumentation at affordable
prices.
The improved version includes a sophisticated microprocessor providing
enhanced system control and data collection capabilities.
Four fully isolated bays accept a wide variety of modules. Many new laser diode applications, requiring multiple current sources and temperature controllers, are accommodated:
- Multiple beam, individually addressed laser diodes
- Multiple laser diode pumped fiber amplifiers
- 2-D vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode arrays.
The Model 8000 mainframe automatically detects which module is located in
each bay and displays the entire system configuration on the large LCD display.
All you do is follow on-screen instructions to configure and operate the modular
system.
Advanced 16-bit technology coupled with careful designs that isolate digital and
analog signals ensure precision control and measurement capabilities.
GPIB/IEEE-488.2 and RS-232C interfaces are included with the Model 8000
mainframe for complete remote control and data collection. LabVIEW drivers are
supplied with every Model 8000 Modular Controller.
The Model 8000 Modular Controller is a cost effective solution that meets your
laboratory, production, and quality control applications. A flexible system design
guarantees that the Model 8000 accommodate future modules making this controller the most complete instrument for laser diode control, characterization, and testing far into the future.
