CURRENT SOURCE NOTES
1 All values relate to a one-hour warm-up period.
2 Over any one-hour period, half-scale output.
3 Over any 24-hour period, half-scale output.
4 Measured optically, evaluating noise intensity of a laser diode into a photodetector with
150 kHz bandwidth.
5 Maximum output current transient resulting from normal operational situations (e.g.,
power on-off, current on-off), as well as accidental situations (e.g., power line plug
removal).
6 Maximum output current transient resulting from a 1000 V power-line transient
spike. Tested to ILX Lightwave Technical Standard #LDC-00196. Request
ILX Appliction Note #3.
7 Maximum monitor photodiode current drift over any 30-minute period. Assumes
zero drift in responsivity of photodiode.
8 Modulation input is 50 Ω terminated inside the mainframe.
9 250 mA setpoint, 50 mA modulation current, 1 Ω load.
10 50% modulation at mid-scale output, 1 Ω load.
11 Responsivity value is user-defined and is used to calculate the optical power.
12 Four-wire voltage measurement while driving calibration load. Specification valid for
values above 10 mV.
