Metaphase Technologies Metaphaser MP-LE1007, Руководство по эксплуатации

Страница: 6 / 35

Introduction
MP-LE10
07, the Metaphaser, is Metaphase Technologies’ high power LED fiber optic bundle
illuminator. There are currently two different versions, a high-power DC version and a high-power
Strobe version with standard power DC. The hi-power DC Metaphaser utilizes the Metaphase
Technologies’ ULC-2 current controller and one custom hi-power DC driver. The Strobe/DC
Metaphaser utilizes the
Metaphase Technologies’ ULC-2 current controller and one of the ULC-2
drivers. The Metaphaser is controlled by utilizing a suite of built-in menus via the front panel or
accessed by
Ethernet UDP or USB. Metaphase Technologies’ Windows based GUI, called
MetaBOSS, allows Ethernet UDP/USB control via PC. Alternatively, by utilizing the Metaphase
command list, Ethernet/USB control can be achieved by using any Ethernet UDP/USB controller
(PLC, HMI, etc.).
Theory of Operation
Hi-Power DC Version
The Hi-power DC version permits adjustable High-intensity illumination for the fiber optic bundle.
The Hi-Power DC version uses a unique high-power Metaphase Technologies driver in conjunction
with an internal ULC-2 controller and one custom hi-power DC driver. This version has two levels
of internal menus. The Setup menu (supervisor level) sets the maximum values, such as %
Intensity and Trigger functions, to prevent exceeding the LED component specifications or the
displayed values in the Run-time menus. The Run-time menus are used for changing the real-time
settings up to the limits imposed by the Setup menus. The Metaphaser is available with a
universal nose piece and a variety of adaptors for different diameter fiber tips. Also available are
dedicated nose pieces for the more popular fiber optic bundles that are on the market.
Strobe Version
The Strobe version allows for extremely high-intensity pulses of LED illumination. This is achieved by
Power Boosting (current overdriving) for short periods of time (microseconds). In general, maximum
PEAK strobe intensity is achieved by minimizing the pulse width and maximizing the trigger period and
current (amperage) setting. (In other words, the shorter the strobe pulse duration and the more time
between triggers, the higher the PEAK intensity output). The Strobe Metaphaser will automatically
protect the LED by not allowing the LED pulse width or duty cycle to be too high. The Strobe version
uses the ULC-2 controller and one of its two driver modules. This version has two levels of internal
menus. The Setup menu (supervisor level) sets the maximum values, such as Max DC/Strobe currents,
Max Pulse width and Trigger functions, to prevent exceeding the LED component specifications or the
displayed values in the Run-time menus. The Run-time menus are used for changing the real-time
settings up to the limits imposed by the Setup menus. The Metaphaser is available with a universal nose
piece and a variety of adaptors for different diameter fiber tips. Also available are dedicated nose pieces
for the more popular fiber optic bundles that are on the market.
NOTE: Critical values such as Max DC current, Max Strobe current and Max Pulse
width should NOT be increased beyond the factory-set defaults in the Setup menus
without first consulting Metaphase Technologies.
