AT 38

Electronic control unit.

The unit intended to control multychannel devices exhibiting capacitive or inductive reactance of the actuators.

The unit is used to control multychannel deformable mirrors and can be used in other devices containing piezoelectric or electromagnet actuators.

Provides independent computer or manual control of several channels or devices in static or dynamic modes.

  • High quality and reliability
  • High accuracy
  • Wide frequency area
  • Static and dynamic control
  • Independent control on channels
  • Simple management and service
  • Optimum design
  • Flexible program algorithm of control

The control program works under Windows 95/98 and allows to establish a voltage of each channel manually, to write values to a file or read voltage from a file created by other interface program, for example, wavefront sensor.

The control program interface.
Pulse output voltage shape under load on capacitance of 200 nF.
Sawtooth output voltage shape under load on capacitance of 200 nF.
Sinusoid output voltage shape under load on capacitance of 200 nF.
