Sidne is the controller for the whole operating setup. It's discussed in Cathode Ray Dude's video 2 months ago with the title "Little Guys Ep 11" - And yes, the power button is just a janky on that was well!
Nice teardown. You will probably find between the logic and the high voltage board one optocoupler to power the lamp and another one to get the state if it's ok , we can found those xenon lamp inside 3lcd or dlp projector but with longer lifetime.
Not sure but might just be the way it works, standby moves the optical attenuator to 0% light output while the lamp stays on for instant output when required by the surgeon. Also makes stryker selling more lamps 😂 Also ensures consistent color temperature as the lamp doesn‘t have to go through its ignition phase. Igniting is furthermore quite harsh on the lamp, you wouldn‘t wanna do this too often as it shortens life expectancy drastically…
I have been thinking about this for 2 days now, and i feel sad to say you are right.. the lamp is ON !! the whole day, even if they dont use it, 500 hrs go fast this way !!
Hi Thomas, interesting toy, strange state when the stby turns on the lamp, but doesn't turn it off 🤔 it sheds a completely different light on the whole problem 😂 Nice day tom
