The OmniDrive™ from Orb Optronix is specifically designed for LED test and measurement in lifetime testing applications. Each OmniDrive™ has 8 separate current output channels. Each output channel can be independently assigned a current amplitude via computer controlled software. Four internal pulse generators can be programmed to control frequency, duty cycle, and phase. Each output channel may be configured to use one of the four internal pulse generators or one of 2 external waveforms.
The synchronized measurement capabilities of the OmniDrive™ include current and 4-wire forward voltage monitoring for accurate power measurements at each LED. When operating in PWM mode, current, and voltage measurements are synchronized to the on-time of the LED. Additional external thermistor or RTD temperature inputs allow measurement of LED or TEC temperatures in LED lifetime test applications. The voltage, current and temperature monitors can be configured to shut off specific channels if out of range. Software control allows the user to easily set up multi-LED lifetime tests by assigning current and measurement sequences to each channel. For LED testing applications that require turning some LEDs completely off during optical measurement sequences, the OmniDrive™ ensures no light is emitted by HB LEDs with an off state leakage current of less than 10 microamps.
