Stabilizer
Stabiilizer is a CPU-based dual-channel general purpose PID controller that may be used as fast servo. The module may be used as part of Sinara based system with Kasli controller or it may work as standalone device with PoE supply or using 12 V input.
The used microcontroller is STM32 Cortex M7 that cooperates with two 16-bit ADCs with sampling rate to 2MS/s and with two 16-bit DACs with 1μs settling time. On board are also available connectors and mounts for AFE modules e.g. Pounder.

Pounder is an AFE module mounted on the top of Stabilizer. It is responsible for generating lock signal used in Pound Drever Hall (PDH) method. Except that the main purpose of developing this method was stabilization of light frequency in laser, it may be used in variety of applications that requires good time accuracy.
