Introduction
The agitator consists of a motor with a rotating reel that taps against hanging loops of fiber. This continually changes the paths of the light rays through the fibers, thereby smoothing/homogenizing the output illumination of the fibers.
The motor is controlled by a Galil DMC-30012 controller.
Two temperature sensors are also connected to the Galil controller - one to measure the temperature of the motor, and one to measure the air temperature within the crypt.
