Drive Electronics

The JetDrive™ V drive electronics, built on the robust JetDrive™ III architecture, is designed to provide
complex drive waveforms to MicroFab’s MJ microdispensing devices. It is computer controlled via
USB communication and an external trigger is provided for real-time control during printing
operations. An output to drive an LED strobe for drop observations is also provided, including a delay that is
controlled either through the computer interface or a knob on the front panel. A Windows® based control
program (JetServer™) is provided, along with the command set for customers who want to integrate
control of the JetDrive™ V into their own software. An optional LabView® sample program is available. The
JetDrive™ V comes in single output configuration for now. The multiple output configurations of JetDrive™ V will be available in near future. Till then the JetDrive™ III will be offered in multiple output configurations only.
Standard Features
- Computer controlled; Windows® based control program provided, along with command set.
- 8 point bipolar trapezoidal waveform plus 12 point arb waveform mode.
- External trigger for real-time control; LED strobe output / delay.
- Integrated into VaportJet™, SphereJet™, Jetlab® II, and the Jetlab® 4 family.
Available Options
- USB relay unit for multiplexing of a single channel output.
- Multichannel units for simultaneous drive. Configurations for up to 4 and up to 16 output channels currently available for JetDrive™ III units only.
- LabView® sample program.
