We hereby inform you that from now on we offer a new firmware version 1.41 for the Meerstetter Laser Diode Driver LDD-1137.
Therefore, from now on we will send all our new LDD-1137 quotations and order confirmations (and the resulting devices) with firmware version 1.41 as standard.
Order confirmations with different versions as well as your existing specific customer requests will remain valid. If you would like a different firmware version for your LDD-1137, please contact our sales team.
The most important improvements:
- Fixed an issue in the supervisor logic of the laser diode driver LDD-1137, which sometimes prevented error status information from being forwarded to the on-board controller in case of an interlock error. Shutdown of the laser output was not affected by this issue. This issue was only present on firmware v1.40.
More information on the firmware update can be found in LDD-1137 Software Release Notes (PDF).
Updating the LDD-1137-Firmware yourself
The firmware can be updated by yourself. Just download the latest software package from our website and install the firmware in the LDD-1137 Configuration Software under the “Device” tab, “Firmware Update” section.
Attention: The new firmware version is only compatible with LDD-1137 hardware versions ≥ HW v1.10.
Do you have any questions or suggestions? Please contact us. We will be happy to help you!
Laser Diode Driver LDD-1137 with LPC Option
Our LDD-1137 laser diode driver is also available with the LPC (Light Power Control) option. This enables precise control of the optical output power and prevents power losses due to aging or temperature influences on the laser diode.
If you are interested in the LPC option, please contact our sales team.
Best regards
Your Meerstetter Engineering Team
