The LC220 Programmable Logic Controller integrates and synchronizes
complex physical experiments. Featuring logic-based triggering and
timing modes unavailable in any other system, the LC220 is a smarter
digital delay generator, for authoritative control over lasers and
test apparatus.
The LC220 combines ground-breaking software with a compact, programmable
hardware controller. The two-channel controller can be programmed
from a PC, then operated in stand-alone mode for benchtop or embedded
operation. Its outputs allow control over flash lamps and Q-switches,
shutters, flow controllers, etc. External feedback to its inputs
can be used to synchronize triggering of uncertain events, such
as the motion of high-speed machinery.
LabSmith’s Trig220 experiment design software makes it easy
to build simple or sophisticated control schemes. Each channel can
operate as a traditional clock, digital delay, delayed trigger,
or counter. Additional timing modes offer functionality not available
in any other product, including Dynamic Delay for
capturing elusive events, and Noise Suppression
for reliable triggering in sub-optimal environments. The new
Drift Compensation mode offers automatic, closed loop timing
compensation for maintaining extremely high laser accuracy, run
after run.
The LC220 provides unique control for applications in laser diagnostics,
materials science, gas dynamics, combustion, radar simulation, and
many other applications. Outperforming a rack-full of typical timing
gear and available for under $2000, the LC220 represents an outstanding
value for high-resolution laser-based research.
