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

Smart Sensor to EA-1 to Ethernet to PC
The EA-1 is suitable for customers who desire Ethernet connectivity and want to remotely monitor and control the sensor via their own custom software or the Ophir provided PC application. The EA-1 is designed to connect an Ophir smart sensor to your Ethernet. Standard thermopile, pyroelectric and photodiode sensors are supported. The unit is powered directly from the Ethernet bus if Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is available, or from a standard Ophir 12V power supply if not. The sensor can be monitored remotely over the Ethernet bus, allowing remote connections from distances far in excess of those allowed via RS232 or USB. The device is suitable for industrial or other environments where the bus of choice is Ethernet. Telnet, HTTP and UDP protocols are supported.
Installation and choosing an IP address are simplified via the simple Ophir Ethernet App PC application supplied with the unit. The PC application allows setup and basic functionality such as monitoring power and energy and changing measurement scales or wavelengths. Configuration of the IP address is via the Ethernet or a separate USB connection. The PC operating screen is shown below measuring power and energy.

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.
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.
