Digital piezo-controllers from Piezosystem Jena (d-Drive and d-Drivepro) offer flexible control for customized systems such as cameras, illumination syst-ems, optical shutters or external measuring systems.
Now, piezosystem jena can offer a comfortable trigger function.
Trigger signals can be generated dependent on the position of the stage:
- Rising edge
- Falling edge
- On both edges in the direction of the movement
An additional function sends out a trigger signal for a period of movement.
This trigger-point can be shifted automatically as a free chosen and defined value. In connection with a camera or a controllable light source slow motion effects can be realized.
Application example
Pictures of an object should be recorded every 10 ms by using a MIPOS 500 micropositioning system.
Totally 500 pictures should be generated. Total time for the task will be 5 sec. Single step of the MIPOS 500 system will be 100 nm (50 µm / 500 steps).
Finally the piezo amplifier generates a trigger signal every 100 nm which operates the function of the camera.
