Description
The PPCC16 combines the features of the Gardasoft PP1600 series LED Lighting Controllers with the addition of 8 digital outputs for triggering cameras or general use. With new generation LEDs the PPCC16 series can provide high intensity pulses which exceed the brightness of xenon strobes.
The PPCC1620 Ethernet version acts as a miniature web server and can be controlled by image processing software on a remote PC. All versions of the PPCC16 can be remotely controlled and dynamically configured using commands sent from an image processing application on a remote PC.
Options for configuration include RS232 and Ethernet. With the Ethernet options a web browser can be used to access the PP Controllers’ internal web pages allowing status to be viewed and parameters to be changed. Please refer to the download section for a free download of a demonstration program (with fully commented source) showing how the PPCC1600 can be controlled from a PC using C++
Three modes of operation are provided separately for each channel:
Continuous: | Output is a continuous level |
Pulsed: | Output is pulsed once per trigger |
Switched: | Output is switched by a digital output |
