The Vue-MV controller was designed for applications that use multiple high-powered discrete diodes. With 15V compliance, the Vue-MV can control as many as 7 diodes in series at up to 10A. Thanks to the Vue-MV’s digital and analog interfaces, multiple controllers can be combined and operated either individually or as a group. This makes the Vue-MV a perfec choice for fiber laser control. Pulsed operation makes it ideal for materials processing and medical applications.

The Vue-MV has all the attributes expected in an OEM controller–and more. In addition to being compact, low cost and configurable, its extensive feature set allows it to be a bench top controller, a stand-alone system controller, or an embedded control component in a complex instrument.

With WinVue software and an attached PC the user can do more than just control the laser diode. WinVue provides tools to aid the researcher in R&D and the production engineer in manufacturing: data logging, one-click LIV acquisition, power calibration, pulse repetition rate and width selection, power and current limits, and display of all control settings and inputs.

As a stand-alone system controller, the Win-MV can be programmed with warm-up and operating conditions. The controller will maintain a pre-set operating state while protecting the diode and the system by monitoring temperature, input and output voltages, current, and an interlock.

Features:

• 10A and 15A versions available
• CW or Pulse Operation
• Advanced control and Monitoring
• Stand-alone or embedded operation
• WinVue user interface

When the Vue-MV is embedded into an OEM system, it can be controlled by an extensive library of serial commands.
