Be In Control

Control At Your Fingertips

Talon‘s Window‘s-based Saber GUI allows access to the entire range of configuration variables (range, dimming response, temperature limits, blocked fan controls, light guide port sensor, etc.).

Automated Configuration Control

Calibration and recalibration is simple using Talon‘s XXX GUI designed to automate the calibration process. Data on the device is stored securely in the cloud so modifying Talon‘s configuration (limits, response curves, etc) can occur at any time without the need to collect any raw data associated with Talon‘s irradiance.

Full Automation

Fully automated systems often benefit from a simple serial command structure where the automated system can rapidly and efficiently send commands to a peripheral device, such as the illumination device, coordinated with cameras, stages, and the like. Talon has a full complement of serial commands that it will respond to.

Precise Dimming Control

LED Efficacy

Light Emitting Diodes require increasing amount of electrical current to generate equal increases in irradiance. This relationship between electrical current and irradiance is fully described by a quadratic (2nd order) polynomial function.

Linear Coefficients

The relationship between electrical current and irradiance is measured and stored to the cloud during manufacturing. With this information a set of values (linear coefficients) can be determined and loaded into Talon at any time. These values set the upper and lower limits for the irradiance and the slope of the curve across the range. This simple system ensures that, for each channel, an X% shift in the commanded dimming will result in a corresponding X% shift in the irradiance.

Resolution

Talon has ~ 3500 unique dimming steps between the limits established during calibration providing exceptionally fine radiometric control.

Flight Control

Talon‘s unique LandingPad (Flight Control?) module enables full manual control - no computer required for full operation.
