Hydra - Multi-Piezo Driver

Part Number: OP-8843
Details: The Hydra driver is designed to control 3 piezo elements to adjust the tilt and scan large tunable air spaced etalons.  The OP-8843 uses closed loop feedback from strain gauges that are attached to the piezo elements. The OP-8843-2 uses closed loop feedback from capacitors that are integrated into the design of the tunable etalon.  Windows based user interface software is included with the Hydra or it can controlled directly via the USB.
