ECN 100 High Temperature Blackbody

HIGH-TEMPERATURE BLACKBODY WITH LARGE EMISSIVE SURFACE AREA

A micro-pyramidal structure for high emissivity with ECN 100!

The ECN 100 High-Temperature Blackbody Series is undoubtedly a game-changer in the field of infrared reference sources. These top-of-the-line blackbodies are specifically designed to provide superior stability and remarkable thermal uniformity of up to +600°C, making them the ideal choice for various calibration and testing applications.

One of the key features of this high-temperature blackbody is its innovative emissive surface made up of micro-pyramids. This cutting-edge design ensures that the emissivity and thermal uniformity are exceptionally high and accurate, representing a significant advancement over conventional blackbody sources.

These sources are built to be incredibly versatile, working seamlessly across a wide range of wavelengths from near-IR to far-IR. These micro-cavities offer unbeatable control over various emission profiles, making the ECN100 perfect for a multitude of research, calibration, and quality control applications.

Each ECN 100 blackbody comes with a traceable certificate of conformity that includes real measurements of thermal uniformity across the entire emissive surface. This added convenience ensures that the ECN100 is ready to use right out of the box, helping you save time and effort in verifying the accuracy and performance of your test equipment.

Integration Tests with Labview drivers:

We offer a full featured LabVIEW driver with each blackbody source compatible with LabVIEW 2019 or later, with all available communication links for Ethernet, RS232 and IEEE.

The resources provided include all the necessary VIs available directly from the LabVIEW menu. These allow the operator to send temperature setpoints, read the current temperature, check the stabilisation status and many other functions.

Also included is a sample programme built on the existing Vis!

With this driver, all HGH blackbodies can be fully controlled and can be integrated into complex test platforms to automatically run IR characterisation tests.
