In addition to the array of safety features common to all VueMetrix products, the MV-21 and MV-40 are equipped with DiodeGuard™, a revolutionary advance in laser diode protection. The DiodeGuard circuit and its’ supporting firmware will protect your valuable laser diode against two of the most common causes of laser diode failure.

The new MV controllers are designed for applications that use multiple high-powered discrete diodes operated in series. With greater numbers of diodes operating in series the risk is higher of a cascade failure caused by a diode short circuit or an intermittent connection.

The Vue-MV with DiodeGuard is designed to protect your valuable laser diodes from these problems. The Vue-MV has all the attributes expected in an OEM controller - and more. In addition to being compact, low cost and configurable, its extensive feature set allows it to be a bench top controller, a stand-alone system controller, or an embedded control component in a complex instrument.

With WinVue software and an attached PC this highly advanced OEM controller provides all the functionality of an expensive lab instrument in an OEM form factor. WinVue provides tools to aid the design and production engineer to bring your product to market faster. The MV-21 and MV-40 with DiodeGuard™ combines innovative circuit design, software diagnostics and a digital control interface to set a new standard in laser diode control and safety.
