Manual. Figure 1.4: 1,2 and 4-channel LED Driver 1.3 Fan Power Adapter The Doric Fan Power Adapter allows the usage of LEDFRJ with the next-generation LED Driver. For more details specifi- cations and operation, see the Fan power adapter manual.
Operations Guide 2.1 Getting Started 1. Installation depends on the specific source chosen. • If using the Single-LED model, the rotary joint must first be installed in its holder (Holder FRJ large, GH FRJ). It can then be mounted into the setup using 1/4 or M6 nuts and screws. •...
3. Connect one output of the Power Splitter to the Doric LED Driver 12 V input, the other to the Power Extension Cable. 4. Connect the Power Extension Cable to the Fan Power Adapter 12 V input. 5. Connect each channel of the LED driver to the input connectors of the Fan Power Adapter using M8 cables.
2.3 Stand-alone mode (without Doric Neuroscience Studio Software) The following sections details stand-alone operation of the LED driver. For installation of the LEDFRJ in stand-alone mode, see section 2.1. 2.3.1 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.
2. Install the Doric Neuroscience Studio Software on the computer. Double-click on the setup DoricStudioX.X.exe file located on Doric USB memory stick supplied with the LED driver and follow the on-screen instructions. 3. Connect the USB-A/USB-B cable to the driver and the computer.
3.1 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.

• The Triggered trigger mode is active when an input greater than 4 V is detected on the BNC input. Fol- lowing input pulses will be ignored while the sequence is running. The sequence will restart with the arrival of the first input pulse after the sequence has finished. Chapter 3. Doric Neuroscience Studio...
