The Vue-HCT combines
a high current laser diode driver with an integrated temperature
servo for applications using high power fiber-coupled laser
diodes. This unique driver offers all the performance of a
bench top scientific controller with the size and attributes
of an OEM controller. These units are available as complete
systems for stand-alone operation or in PCB options for embedding
into another instrument. With advanced computer control and
monitoring functions and diode safety features like soft start
circuitry, user settable power and current limits and temperature
control, the Vue-HCT is much more than a power supply.
The unique design combines onboard intelligence and firmware
with a powerful user interface software package. WinVue software
transforms the OEM controller into a bench top lab controller
and allows the user to do more than just control the laser
diode. Software tools like data logging with one click data
export, power calibration, user settable power and current
limits, temperature tuning and servos, plus the ability to
visualize all control settings and inputs helps design engineers
shorten the product development cycle. In addition the computer
control allows you to lower manufacturing cost by automating
routine operations.
When it’s time to incorporate the Vue-HCT driver into your
application, all of the functions of the user interface software
are available through a complete library of RS-232 commands.
As an embedded controller the Vue-HCT is always monitoring
the safety and status of the laser diode and safety interlocks.
When it senses a fault condition it will safely shut down to
protect your laser diode investment. Or use the Vue-HCT controller
as the main system controller and take advantage of the programmable
auto-start macros.
