Introduction

 

 

The DR-VE-10-MO is a non-inverting single-ended modulators driver module for analog, pulse, 
or digital application. 
 

 

As  it  is  an  active  device,  the  DR-VE-10-MO  requires  a  DC  power  supply  [12V 

  0.45A].  The 

connection  between  the  power  supply  and  the  driver  is  performed  thanks  to  the  provided 
power supply cable (banana plugs to 2-pin Molex). 

 

 

For external control, the driver requires a connection to a computer via the provided COM cable 
(USB  to  3-pin  Molex)  and  the  use  of  a  provided  dedicated  software.  This  software  can  be 
downloaded from our website
