LED. When the lamp is new and in good condition, the LED on the front panel will remain GREEN. As the lamp ages, it will eventually begin to show signs of aging. At about 250- 350 hours the lamp will begin to exhibit measureable signs of aging and the LED will turn YELLOW.
Technologies, Inc. Innovative Photonics The unit will first characterize the new lamp, so that it has a good reference from which to make accurate lifetime predictions. During this process the indicator LED flashes YELLOW. The unit will then calibrate the lamp so that the optical output is very near the output level of the previous lamp.

LED lamp. The RS-232 interface is equipped with a DB-9 connection, and is wired as shown in Figure 5. It must be connected to a dedicated COM port. The USB option has a standard Mini USB receptacle (male), and creates its own COM port upon initialization, providing simple connection and multiple source control capabilities not limited by hardware.
