Optimal Autosense
Optimal Autosense
is used to determine the optimal output voltage for the current set-up. As
soon as the
Optimal Autosense
check box is enabled, the device corrects the desired voltage
to the lowest voltage that is needed to reach the desired current on all channels.
Having the optimal voltage for illumination operation set, can reduce the heat generation at the
MOSFETs significantly, which will dissipate all superfluous energy into heat.
To make
Optimal Autosense
work properly, the value set on
Voltage Output
should be
significantly higher than needed. The determined values can then also be applied manually
after disabling
Optimal Autosense.
Caution:
Exchanging the illumination (even with the same light head type) can show
differences in brightness. This is caused by normal tolerances in manufacturing that might make
slightly higher voltages necessary to reach the specified current.
