I’m excited to announce the release of the newest Triggerscope model the 3-B. This version replaces the V3, and is packed with improvements for practical laboratory use, including:
- DAC Software Range Selection
- Range selection is now software controllable for each channel. This means you can get a full 16 Bit resolution delivered to your device in any range from -2.5/+2.5V, to -10V/+10V, as well as -5/+5V, 0-5V, and 0-10V. A demo video of this feature is available below.
- LED Status Indication
- When integrating or first using any TTL controlled system, it’s difficult to determine whether the controller is properly firing trigger signals, and whether the device is properly outputting changes on the TTL and DAC lines. New LED’s on the Triggerscope 3B indicate an active sequence, TTL status, DAC output status, and input trigger status, all from the face of the device. In addition, these signals can be disabled or enabled for compatibility with ultra low light acquisition environments.
- High Current TTL Drivers
- When driving Lasers, the 50 Ohm impedance used can cause a tough voltage drop problem. This has been addressed by now sourcing up to 500mA per line on TTL lines 1-4. In addition, lines 5-8 now source 200mA per channel. While most systems should work great at 200mA, the higher current channels may also optionally be used to drive low intensity LEDs if needed, for applications such as transmitted illumination, powered directly from the Triggerscope.
- An External DC Power switch is now included for simple restarts.
