PC Software & Drivers

This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available.

StarLab

The StarLab application together with an Ophir meter turns your PC or laptop into a full-fledged laser power/energy meter. Supports most Ophir laser power/energy sensors. Up to 8 sensors can be displayed at once on one PC. By using the Ophir COM Object, you can control the device from your own application. Supports the Ariel, Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and Ariel devices.

LabVIEW

Library supplied for a complete measurement interface with most of our USB speaking devices (Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova-II, Pulsar, Vega). Makes use of our new COM object.

Firmware - Pulsar

Embedded Software for Pulsar Interface
On startup, StarLab loads the Pulsar interface with its firmware automatically (current firmware version: 1.30).

Smart Sensor to Pulsar to PC

Ophir’s 1-4 channel Pulsar interface turns your PC or laptop
into a full-fledged Ophir multi-channel laser power/energy
meter. Just install the software, plug the sensor into thePulsar and the USB cable from the Pulsar to the PC USB
port. With the Pulsar series, you can connect up to 4 sensors
to each module, monitor each pulse at up to 25kHz and
utilize external trigger.

Software - StarLab

StarLab turns your PC into a laser power/energy multi-channel station

Software - LabVIEW Solutions

Ophir has long recognized the growing LabVIEW community of developers. For over 10 years, we have been providing
LabVIEW libraries for all of our devices. These are full open-source applications that can be used as is or tailored by the LabVIEW programmer to his specific needs.

These starter applications are basic software only that allows the LabVIEW programmer to experiment freely to fully feel
the strength of our devices’ respective command sets. These applications contain VIs (Virtual Instruments) to control the instrument. You can combine VIs to create successively larger and more versatile larger VIs by simply connecting them together. Users can create sophisticated, custom applications in minutes. In most cases, applications can be built and tested even before the instrument even arrives. The versatility of these tools is limitless.
All of our LabVIEW libraries can be downloaded from our web site: www.ophiropt.com

StarLab 3.0: Introduction and First Steps		StarLab 3.0: Second Steps

This video explains the various items on the StarLab screen, and shows you how to perform basic laser measurements. Part 1 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.		Sometimes we want to not only get a reading, but perform additional processing on the reading. This video shows you how to use various functions in StarLab, such as Averaging, Scale Factor, Normalize, Density, etc. Part 2 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
How to Detect Missing Laser Pulses with a Pyroelectric Sensor		Laser Measurement PC Interfaces

This video will show you how to detect and record any missing pulses in your pulsed laser beam application.		If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, rather than a stand-alone meter, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC interfaces could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, but instead of having a separate on-board display, the PC becomes your display. In this video you will learn about the range of PC Interfaces available from Ophir.
Ophir Laser Measurement Virtual Meters

If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC virtual meters could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, and - together with the sensor and Ophir’s powerful StarLab software application - turn your PC into a full-function, multi-channel laser measurement workstation. In this webinar, you will learn about the range of virtual meters and interface options available from Ophir.
