The D5020 Liquid Crystal Digital Interface is the next generation in the evolution of Meadowlark Optics Liquid Crystal Controllers. The Digital Controller is designed for user functionality and productivity. The D5020 provides a “set and go” function that allows the controller to run autonomously without a computer.
Controlling multiple Liquid Crystal cells has never been easier. CellDRIVE 5000 software provides a separate sync output for each channel as well as temperature sensing and control on both channels. The 2kHz square wave output can be amplitude modulated with sinusoidal, square, triangle, sawtooth and transient nematic effect waveforms. Filters Sort results
