- possibility of complex control by means of an external microprocessor controller or external analog signals

 

 

ESLT – 045 is a hardware controller of the electrical system of  a solid - state pulsed laser. The controller services, in a complex way, all laser subassemblies, and, of course, co-operates with a software controller. The hardware construction of the controller gives a very high level of safety of laser operation owing to its resistance top interference and stoppage of  the system. It is known that these types of lasers are characterized by a high-level interference, which is often a cause of stoppage and improper operation in software controllers. The controller can co-operate with all types of lasers operating on a basis of a flashlamp. An additional advantage is the possibility to service two laser heads within one piece of equipment.

The microprocessor ESUP - 020 controller is intended for full servicing of solid - state lasers pumped by a CW flashlamp. Its construction features high resistance to interference owing to applying the isolation of the microprocessor system from the remaining laser subsystems. Individually a version of the software is prepared for a given controller. As an user’s interface, there are alphanumerical LCD numerical LED and keyboard attached to the controller. A compact metal case and standard connectors make the controller easy to use and assemble
