USB offers a very simple interface to the LED Analyser with no requirement for an additional power supply. Very high baud rates, up to 460800 baud, are available.
The RS232 Serial Port is easy to use with a max baud rate of 115200. It requires the use of an external power supply.
The 20pin ICT Port can be used in either Frequency Out or Synchronous Serial Mode.
Frequency Out
The Frequency Out protocol can be used where access to an RS232 Serial Port is not available. Three frequencies are used to represent the Color and Intensity of the LEDs.
Synchronous Serial Port
The Synchronous Serial protocol is suitable when tester resources are limited or no other options are available.
Daisy Chain
Multiple LED Analysers can be connected together using the Daisy Chain Connectors. Only one RS232 Serial Port or USB Port is required to connect up to 30 LED Analysers.
Led Analyser Test Time
The speed of the test is dependent on the intensity of the LEDs being tested, i.e. Bright LEDs have a shorter Test Time, Dimmer LEDs have a longer Test Time.
The capture (measurement) of up to 20 LEDs is done in parallel and can be achieved in times as fast as 1.2ms depending on the Intensity (Brightness).
The data is read back from each fiber sequentially and takes approximately 5ms per fiber, for example:
Ultra High Brightness LEDs Test Time
- 1 LED Capture Time is 1.2ms and Read Back is 5ms, Total 6.2ms.
- 20 LEDs Capture Time is 1.2ms and Read Back is 100ms, Total 101.2ms.
Dim LEDs Test Time
- 1 LED Capture Time is 1.2s and Read Back is 5ms, Total 1.205s.
- 20 LEDs Capture Time is 1.2s and Read Back is 100ms, Total 1.3s.
USB / RS232 Serial Port - Range Capture Times

Range |
Capture Time |
C (Auto Capture) |
350ms |
C1 (Low Intensity) |
650ms |
C2 (Medium Intensity) |
200ms |
C3 (High Intensity) |
22ms |
C4 (Super High Intensity) |
4ms |
C5 (Ultra High Intensity) |
2ms |
The Read Back Time per fiber is always approximately 5ms.
For ICT the Capture Times are the same as USB/RS232 Serial Port. However, the Read Back Times are dependent on the frequencies being measured. Using an Agilent i3070 the Read Back Times are 400ms to 700ms approximately.
