Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
Operational parameters can also be set up via the RS232 interface.
The iQ421 automatically recognises and adjusts the LED head's maximum current requirements, monitors and controls its temperature, displaying overtemperature warning signals, and provides 0-100% intensity variation.
A light feedback loop maintains intensity to +/-2% regulating current to compensate for LED intensity degradation.
Trigger mode with programmable delays offers synchronisation to provide light output only when needed.
A 15Hz to 50kHz strobe feature offers freeze motion capability, remote switching enables on/off functions in any operating mode.
A simpler version the iQ121 controller offers automatic current and temperature control, high temperature warnings and manual intensity control. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
