Hardware Overview
The DCS400 and DCS800 Quad Lighting Controller is a multi-channel controller for
Advanced Illumination LED illuminators. With multi-channel control, this controller is
ideal for applications such as photometric stereo, high-resolution color and bright-field
/ dark-field combination lighting.
This controller family is not limited to computational imaging and can be used as a
general-purpose controller for a wide range of applications in both continuous and
strobe modes of operation.

*LED Cathode pins, pin 1 and pin 9 are COMMON and may be tied together.
This controller requires SignaTech to operate correctly. SignaTech is included with lights purchased
from Advanced Illumination. It is not possible to drive a non-SignaTech protected light source without
explicit instruction from Advanced Illumination.
