LN Modulator is a device which converts information to signals by varying intensity and frequency of light. Capacity of transmission signal can be many tens times greater than conventional capacity by using this optical modulator. Application Note for LN Modulators  

Most users who venture into the world of high-speed cameras have already tried capturing video with a home camcorder and observed that they cannot see the necessary details of the event under study because of motion blur or because the event was missed entirely. In many cases, the shutter speed and frame-rate can be determined fairly quickly by trial and...

The rollout for the new camera firmware for Baumer MXG, VisiLine® and VisiLine® IP has begun. From now on, all cameras are delivered with functional extensions. Click to download the New Firmware for Baumer MXG and VisiLine® Cameras datasheet    

IP stands for 'Ingress Protection' An IP number is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. These ratings are determined by specific tests that are standardised in order to ensure equipment can be safely used in a diverse range of applications. The IP number is composed of two numbers, the first referring to the protection against...

WHAT IS GigE? GigE or Gigabit Ethernet is a member of the family of computer networking and communication standards. The GigabitEthernet standard supports a theoretical maximum data rate of 1 gigabits per second (1 Gbps or 1000Mbps), as definedby the IEEE 802.3-2008 standard. To ensure a high data rate, Gigabit Ethernet workS using unshielded twisted pair (1000BASE-T) copper cable (specifically...

Some customers require high carrier suppression when using the external I/Q modulation inputs. Tests have shown that the SRS SG384 (with Option 3, External I/Q modulation inputs) can provide more than 70 dB of carrier suppression with careful control of the offset voltage on the external I/Q modulation inputs. The photo above shows the power signal envelope of a SRS...

Stanford Research Systems introduces their series of Rational Approximation Frequency Generators (RF) in this short video clip (~4.38 minutes along). Initially SRS present the advantages of utilising the RF against the alternatives available in the market however if you stay tuned from ~1.50 minutes the clip outlines the instrument’s major functions together with details of the reliability and purity of...

Q: Tell me more about the LATAB Strobe Controllers. Like the lighting heads they are designed in a black aluminum housing. The controller is enabled for plug and play. Just connect the LATAB lighting head and the controller automatically identifies the lighting type by an electronic sensor and gives the maximum light intensity to the lighting head. The strobe pulse...

Q: What are the General Specifications for the LATAB Continuous Mode Controllers? Supply voltage: 24 VDC +/- 10%, max. 2,5 A Power output: max. 1 A / 3 A Light intensity: 0 - 100% internal potentiometer Trigger input: 5 - 24 V, optically isolated Trigger frequency: max. 200 Hz Operation temperature: 0 - 65 °C   Q: Are LATAB light heads and controllers suitable for industrial...

Q: What protocol does the Baumer TXD use for data transfer? The TXD series uses the standardized DCAM protocol (IIDC V1.31) for data transfer, which enables simple connection of the cameras either using the Baumer-GAPI generic program interface or other image processing software which supports this standard. Q: Are the Baumer TXD’s backward compatible? Backwards compatibility means that the older...
