Hardware Overview

The DCS400 and DCS800 Quad Lighting Controller is a multi-channel controller for

Advanced Illumination LED illuminators. With multi-channel control, this controller is

ideal for applications such as photometric stereo, high-resolution color and bright-field /

dark-field combination lighting.

This controller family is not limited to computational imaging and can be used as a

general-purpose controller for a wide range of applications in both continuous and

strobe modes of operation.

Important Information

*LED Cathode pins, pin 1 and pin 9 are COMMON and may be tied together.

This controller requires SignaTech to operate correctly. SignaTech is included with lights purchased from

Advanced Illumination. It is not possible to drive a non-SignaTech protected light source without explicit

instruction from Advanced Illumination.
