USBKIT USB Interfaces for Laser Diode Drivers and TEC Drivers

USB Interface for Wavelength Electronics Laser Diode Drivers and TEC Drivers; USB Powered; A/D Resolution 13, 14 Bits; D/A Resolution 12 Bits; 81 x 71 x 30 mm

Expand the capabilities of your Wavelength Electronics laser diode drivers and TEC drivers with the USBKIT and QuickConnect™ software. The USBKIT USB interface provides convenient computer control of most Wavelength Electronics chassis mount drivers and evaluation boards at a surprisingly low price.

The QuickConnect™ software provides an intuitive virtual control panel that allows you to leverage the low-noise, high-stability laser diode and temperature control capabilities of Wavelength Electronics’ components to save time and money. The QuickConnect™ software is compatible with x86 (32-bit) and x64 (64-bit) PCs.

The USBKIT loads many features into one small package, making it a terrific value-add for your laser lab or manufacturing floor. The USB board includes D/A for remote setpoint control and A/Ds for monitoring actual temperature or current. The software provides control of one laser diode driver, one temperature controller, an auxiliary monitor, and full graphing and datalogging of selected parameters.

Multiple USBKITs can be attached to the same computer, allowing for control of complex systems. Setup configurations can be saved for repeating experiments or manufacturing testing routines. The QuickConnect™ software includes on-screen wiring diagrams for the selected Wavelength modules, making set-up a snap. Two strip charts graph laser and temperature data as a function of time. Selected data can be continuously logged.

Build the USBKIT into your OEM laser system and enjoy the convenience of closed-cover system calibration and troubleshooting—all you need is the USB cable that comes with the USBKIT. The software is built on the Windows .NET framework so you can write your own code for a manufacturing test system, a field-calibration kit, or for laboratory applications.
