LB1005. Safety Considerations The LB1005 is a versatile instrument that can be used in a variety of feedback control applications. However, the LB1005 is not intended for fail-safe operation in hazardous environments or life-threatening situations. The user...
• AC Power Cord Electrical Fuse & Voltage Selection The LB1005 is pre-configured at the factory to work with the AC mains voltages for your region. Before supplying electrical power to the LB1005, confirm that the power entry module located on the rear panel is installed with the proper fuses and set to the correct wallplug AC voltage.
± 10 V and a bandwidth of 10 MHz. 4. Sweep In: This BNC input allows a low frequency periodic sweep signal to be added to the output of the LB1005. The input impedance is 1 M Ω and the Bookham Revision 1...

Introduction LB1005 Operating Manual input voltage range is ± 10 V. See Sweep Center and Sweep Span controls discussed below for more details. 5. Output: This BNC output is the control signal from the proportional-integral (P-I) filter, summed with the sweep and modulation signals. This output has an impedance of 50 Ω...

Introduction LB1005 Operating Manual 3. Input Offset Range: This 3-position switch determines the voltage range for the Input Offset front panel knob. For more information, please see the above section Front Panel Connections & Controls). Selecting the Off position disables the Input Offset control so that no voltage offset is added.
Demanding applications will require familiarity with feedback control theory and good characterization of all system components. The primary function of the LB1005 is to condition an input signal from a detector and to provide an output signal to a transducer that controls a system parameter.

Error Monitor output on an oscilloscope is highly recommended. 4. Function generator output to LB1005 Sweep In: For detector signals that are derived from optical resonances, it is convenient to sweep the transducer so that the optical frequency scans over the resonance. Observing the resonance...
Note that the two lock points have opposite gain signs. Typical Operation The controls of the LB1005 are conveniently arranged for acquiring and optimizing lock. In this section, five steps are suggested that will meet the needs of most applications.

LB1005 Operating Manual Getting Started Figure 5: Typical Operation of Controls The Lock On position disables the low-frequency gain limit and applies the full integrator gain to the output. Most servo systems should be locked in this position to minimize DC errors. When correctly locked, the Error Monitor signal should be very near zero volts, and the LED indicator light should be green (see Figure 6 for more details.)

Chapter 3 : Detailed Operation Signal Architecture The LB1005 is comprised of three stages of analog signal processing. Figure 7 shows the different sections and how the various input signals are used to derive the output signal. Each section is briefly described below. See Appendix A for more detailed specifications.
Detailed Operation LB1005 Operating Manual Filter Transfer Functions This section describes the transfer functions available from the P-I filter, which are shown in Figure 8. The filter is specifically designed to have independent control over the three main parameters that shape the filter frequency response: •...
Setting Output Voltage Limits The positive and negative voltage limits of the LB1005 Output can be independently adjusted with the Output Voltage Limit trimpots located on the rear panel. The following procedure can be used to set the output voltage limits: 1.
LB1005 Operating Manual Using the Integrator Hold The LB1005 has a feature that allows the user to electronically trigger the integrator output to “hold” its current value. When a TTL digital “high” signal is applied to the rear panel Int Hold BNC connector, the error signal input to the filter stage integrator is disabled until the TTL signal goes to a “low”...

Appendix B: Service & Maintenance The LB1005 is designed to be maintenance free. No user-serviceable parts are inside the unit. No further calibrations are necessary for the LB1005 to meet its accuracy specifications over the lifetime of the product. Opening the instrument case voids the warranty and exposes to user to hazardous voltages that are present inside the instrument case.
