Ledcheck VIII automatically tests color, wavelength and light intensity of LEDs on PCBs while under test on automatic test equipment. Each module can accommodate eight LEDs; modules can be cascaded for additional channels. Each channel measures the true color of the LED under test and provides an analog output to the test system proportional to the wavelength of the light detected from the LED. Using digital channel addressing, the channel selection is under control of the test system.
