## Overview

Designed to drive up to 12 LED channels with individual current control resolution of 5 mA and maximum per-channel output current up to 1,000 mA, operating from a 9 to 24 VDC power supply. Interfaces via USB for computer control supporting DC and strobe modes with per-channel enable/disable functionality. Provides high precision current regulation with ±5 mA or ±1% accuracy and ±2 mA or ±0.5% repeatability. Suitable for driving a broad range of LED light sources with variable load compatibility. Commonly applied in machine vision, microscopy, semiconductor and medical instrumentation, and lighting systems. Supports full-featured SDK and user-friendly GUI software for integration and automation control.

## Function

High-precision multichannel LED control system providing independent current regulation for 12 output channels with programmable drive currents up to 1000mA per channel. Features USB 2.0 interface for PC-based control via GUI software or SDK/API integration. Incorporates PWM dimming, strobing, and triggering capabilities with microsecond temporal resolution. Supports constant current and pulsed operation modes with thermal protection circuitry. Applications include microscopy illumination, optogenetics, photodynamic therapy, machine vision lighting, spectroscopy, and automated optical inspection systems requiring synchronized multichannel LED control.

## Platform

Designed for integration within advanced optical and photonic experimental setups, this multi-channel LED driver operates on standard DC power supplies, interfacing via USB or serial communication protocols. It supports computer-controlled modulation of LED intensity, pulse width, and timing across 12 outputs, compatible with various LED types and wavelengths. Commonly used in neuroscience, bioimaging, and optogenetics research platforms requiring precise and synchronized light stimulation with external data acquisition and control systems.

## Application

Enables precise, multi-channel illumination for advanced microscopy techniques including fluorescence, brightfield, and optogenetics. Facilitates structured light and multi-spectral applications in machine vision systems. Utilized in spectroscopy for controlled light source modulation and in biological research for photostimulation experiments requiring accurate temporal and intensity control across multiple LED emitters. Supports automated test equipment setups needing programmable, synchronized lighting profiles.

## Accessories

Required USB cable for interface connection using USB Type-B connector; suitable power supply for input power; compatible LED arrays for lighting control; software for computer integration and channel control via USB interface.

## Interface

12 LED channels each with up to 1000 mA current, adjustable in 5 mA steps; USB interface (USB 2.0) for computer control; power input 9-24 VDC; channels individually enable/disable; dual control modes (DC and strobe); connector details unspecified, typically uses standard USB-B type for host connection; no separate chassis or backplane required; supports Windows OS via SDK and GUI software.
