Page 3: Safety Information
Doric LED Drivers are provided with a safety interlock connector on its rear panel (Fig. 1.1a). When the interlock circuit connector is shorted with the interlock plug, the driver is enabled. The shorting electric wire in the interlock plug can be removed and replaced by the safety interlock circuit of the laboratory. -
Page 4: Overview
Figure 2.1: Connectorized LED The Doric Connectorized LED is a compact module that couples a high brightness LED into an optical fiber via an FC receptacle. It is available in wavelengths from 365 nm to 940 nm, as well as white (5500 K temperature). The module connects to the Doric LED Driver over the pigtailed M8 electrical cable. -

Figure 2.2: LED Drivers; 1-, 2- and 4-channel Doric LED Drivers can be used as a stand-alone device or controlled via USB port. Each channel connects to a single Connectorized LED which can be controlled manually or via the Doric Neuroscience Studio Software. - Page 6 • The Power key must be properly inserted into the key switch to enable operation of the light source(s) connected to the driver. Note that, despite its similar shape, the power key is not a standard micro SD card such as those used in some digital cameras.

3.3 Stand-alone mode (without Doric Neuroscience Studio Software) The following sections details stand-alone operation of the LED driver. For installation of the LEDC in stand-alone mode, see section 3.1. 3.3.1 Driver operation modes with the stand-alone device If the light source driver is used as a stand-alone device, 3 modes are available: constant current (CW), external TTL (Ext. - Page 11 External Analog (Ext. Ana.) Figure 3.5: External analog pulse sequence behavior The External Analog mode is similar to the External TTL, except that the driving current is proportional to the voltage ap- plied on the BNC input connector (Fig. 3.5, top). On the input BNC, a maximum voltage signal corresponds to a maximum driver current.

4.1 Light Sources Doric Light Sources can be controlled by the Doric Neuroscience Studio. These include LED Modules, Laser Diode Modules and Ce:YAG Fiber Light Source. The interface is separated into two main sections, Control & settings and the Acquisition View. - Page 14 Doric Neuroscience Studio. These function are used through the Channel Config- uration window (Fig. 4.2). Figure 4.2: Light Source Channel Configuration Window 1. The Channel Types (Fig. 4.2) are displayed on the left side of the window. These include Laser light sources, Ce:YAG light sources and LED light sources, as well as the Scope to measure signal using the driver.
