Page 4: Introduction
The light sources within the SPECTRA are controlled by software; either via a serial interface (RS-232 or USB) to a computer running a Lumencor supplied GUI or via a TTL interface to a computer running a third party microscopy software application.The user can enable or disable each source independently and change the intensity of each source independently. - Page 5 {Mesures de sécurité}: Warning: DO NOT use an unapproved power supply. The Lumencor supplied external power supply is recommended for use with the SPECTRA light engines. Alternate 24VDC/5A power supplies may be used for the standard SPECTRA (no simultaneous outputs) or alternate 24-30VDC/7.9A power supplies may be used for SPECTRA X and SPECTRA S (simultaneous outputs) but it is imperative that it has output over-current protection, as the power input of the SPECTRA is not fused.
