MIP Micromirror Variant

The MIP Micromirror variant bridges the gap between algorithmic/analysis and stimulus, and measurement of MEMS micromirror sensors. It presents a modular, desktop environment for MEMS micromirror and electronics device integration and validation in a system context.

The MIP Micromirror variant has a PXIe-based control system, which includes a system-level design environment, data acquisition, FPGA based signal/control processing and signal conditioning, as well as Micromirror fixtures or interface boards for Micromirror device characterization and measurement.

Benefits

Accelerates research by providing a feature-rich platform for integration and validating of micromirror-based microsystems.
Addresses specific research needs through a graphics-based programmable environment and micromirror sensors and actuator interfaces boards.
Enables a faster path to commercialization by sourcing commercial-grade components and through compliance with commercial standards and interfaces (e.g., PXI and PXIe).

Applications

Suitable research filed for this variant includes real-time control of MEMS micromirror devices in either open-loop or close loop operation. A research example of using it is shown below:
