Chapter - 1 INTRODUCTION
The A-TAKT V-7HS is designed for high-speed in-line testing/verification of flat panel displays (FPD). It is
a true spectroradiometer and consists of an objective lens, sampling aperture, diffraction grating, and 512
element, thermoelectrically cooled detector.
Target viewing is accomplished by the built-in, high-resolution full color CCD camera. The camera output
provides an image of the sample under test, in the center of which is a black spot--the sampling aperture.
The black spot is the entrance to the optical system and unambiguously represents the precise area
being sampled.
The V-7HS is supplied with a USB 1.1 and RS232 interface. Control of the V-7HS is by the included
Software Developers Kit (SDK). Please see the SDK section of this manual for full details.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
The standard A-TAKT V-7HS includes:
oA-TAKT V-7HS Spectroradiometer
oObjective Lens.
oUSB 1.1 Port.
oRS232 Port
o6’ Universal input AC Adapter.
oCD with drivers, Instruction manual and SDK software.
oNIST Traceable Calibration (certified for six months).
