MIP Micromirror Variant

Product Overview

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).
