User Manual Laser Diode Controller PilotPC 4
Simplified Temperature Control Block Diagram
The main temperature control blocks are build in software.
This has some advantages for the user.
- free programmable PID Setup
- free programmable current limit
Also some diagnostic features are implemented to protect the laser
diode
- Open load detection of TEC
- Bad heat sink detection
- temp watch window supervising
- Open/ short circuit detection in sensor lines
