Thorlabs Piezo Driver For Mac

• Thorlabs Piezo Driver For Mac Pro

Most difficulties in working with Micro-Manager arise from configuring the system and from problems/issues with specific devices. In both of these cases you are interacting mainly with device adapters. These device adapters have been written by several different authors, all behave slightly differently, and interact with specific hardware that has its own peculiarities. Top freeware video editing software. On these pages we will maintain as much information as possible about Micro-Manager device adapters. This will help you configure and understand your Micro-Manager system. We hope that the authors of the device adapters will maintain this information, but please feel free to update the information here with your own experiences. The information here will refer to the most recent Micro-Manager release.

Piezo Driver Bandwidth Tutorial. Knowing the rate at which a piezo is capable of changing lengths is essential in many high-speed applications. The bandwidth of a piezo controller and stack can be estimated if the following is known. Compatible with All Thorlabs Piezo Controllers.

I have four ThorLabs APT closed-loop piezo controllers that I have been mulling over writing a driver for. It might make sense to add an APT backend as well. One thing that we should think about, though: it is possible to open multiple concurrent connections to a device via ethernet, but it is not possible to do this via USB, serial, etc.

This code shows how to control the APT Thorlabs positioning system using the third party ActiveX controls. This code also shows how to use ActiveX controls and MATLAB.

It appears that MATLAB modifies the signature of the ActiveX method so that variables originally passed by reference are included in the output of the function. For example:

o the Visual Basic Call to the method GetNumHWUnits is:
MG17System1.GetNumHWUnits USB_NANOTRAK, lngNumNanoTraks

o the equivalent MATLAB call is:
[temp1, temp2] = h_Ctrl.GetNumHWUnits(8, 0);

So, you simply pass a dummy value of 0 into the input argument, and read the output from temp1 and temp2. lngNumNanoTraks gets set to 2 when it is
passed by reference. As expected, temp2 is set to 2 once the line has been evaluated by MATLAB.

At our lab, we have two 6-axis positioning stages. Each axis has a motor control for rough positioning, and piezo control for fine tuning. We also have two NanoTrak modules that let us position four of the axes automatically. The modules are: NanoTrak, Piezo, and Motor controls. In my setup, a fiber is placed on one of the stages and aligned to an optical modulator. Another fiber is placed on the other stage, and is used to measure the output light. The streaming video from out microscope is shown at the bottom right of the screen capture.

Features

• Two-Axis or Three-Axis Mirror Mounts with Manual and Piezo Adjusters
• For Ø1/2', Ø1', or Ø2' Mirrors
• Piezo Drive Cables are Attached or Included
• Piezoelectric Inertial Motor Mounts with ±2° Angular Adjustment (Any Combination of Mechanical and Piezoelectric)
• 30 mm Cage-Compatible Optic Mounts with ±275 µrad or ±73 µrad Piezoelectric Angular Adjustment
• Piezoelectric Gimbal Mount Rotates About Center of Optic
• Polaris^® Kinematic Mirror Mounts with Piezoelectric Adjusters are Designed for Exceptional Thermal and Long-Term Stability
• Compatible with Thorlabs' Piezo Controllers

The two-axis and three-axis mirror mounts sold on this page contain manual and piezo adjusters, enabling coarse and fine adjustment of the tip and tilt of a mounted optic.

2-Adjuster Mirror Mounts with Piezo Inertia Adjusters
These mirror mounts feature a piezoelectric inertial motor design, utilizing inertia and friction to actuate the adjuster screws. Unlike other piezo adjusters, these actuators maintain their position when no power is supplied, making them ideal for applications requiring long-term stability. These mounts can achieve a wide angular adjustment range of ±2° with typical piezoelectric steps of 0.5 µrad. The piezoelectric adjusters can be driven by a KIM001 or KIM101 K-Cube™ Inertial Motor Controller (sold separately). The PIM05(/M) actuators feature a 5/64' (2 mm) hex on the end and two Ø0.09' side through holes; they can be adjusted manually using an HKTS-5/64 thumbscrew, SA1 side hole adjustment tool, or 5/64' hex key or balldriver. The PIM1(/M) adjusters feature an adjustment knob with a 5/64' (2 mm) hex on the end. https://downqfil162.weebly.com/the-online-casino.html. Piezo inertia mounts for Ø1/2' and Ø1' optics are available.

30 mm Cage Compatible Kinematic Mirror Mounts with Piezo Adjusters
Our cage-compatible piezoelectric mirror mounts feature through holes for integration into a 30 mm cage assembly. They are ideal for cage system applications that require small, repeatable angular adjustments. Our KC1-P(/M) and KC1T-P(/M) mounts offer a ±275 µrad piezo angular range, while our KC1-PZ(/M) and KC1-T-PZ(/M) mounts offer a ±73 µrad piezo angular range. All cage-compatible piezo mounts have a mechanical angular range of ±5°. The mounts are available with either a Ø1' smooth bore or an internal SM1 (1.035'-40) thread to hold a Ø1' optic. Each can also be mounted on a Ø1/2' post using the 8-32 (M4) taps. The KC1-PZ(/M) and KC1-T-PZ(/M) may also be purchased in bundles with the MDT693B Three-Channel Piezo Controller, which provides electronic control for all three axes.

Piezoelectric Gimbal Mount
The PGM1SE(/M) is a motorized, Ø1' gimbal mount with two axes of rotation. Each axis has a piezoelectric angular range of 30 mrad with a resolution of 0.05 µrad in open-loop mode. Built-in strain gauge feedback allows for closed-loop operation, which provides a 20 mrad angular range and 0.14 µrad resolution. The mount is shipped with a factory-calibrated controller that supports Kinesis^® and APT™ motion control software.

Polaris Kinematic Mirror Mounts with Piezoelectric Adjusters
The Polaris Kinematic Mirror Mounts with Piezoelectric Adjusters are the ultimate solution for applications requiring stringent, long-term alignment stability. Machined from heat-treated stainless steel, Polaris mounts utilize precision-matched adjusters with ball contacts and sapphire seats to provide smooth kinematic adjustment. These Polaris mounts use either a monolithic flexure arm or a flexure spring and setscrew combination to hold the optic. These designs provide high holding force and pointing stability with minimal optic distortion. All of the Polaris mounts with piezo adjusters have a piezoelectric angular adjustment range of at least 280 µrad, as well as a mechanical angular adjustment range of at least ±3.4°. Two-axis mirror mounts that accept Ø1/2', Ø1', or Ø2' mirrors are available. Additionally, three-axis mirror mounts that accept Ø1' mirrors are also offered. For more details, see the Polaris Kinematic Mirror Mounts with Piezoelectric Adjusters page.
