Ophir-Spiricon Inc. Announces Pulsar-4, Multi-Channel Smart Head Interface for Laser Meter Measurement Applications
January 22, 2008 - San Jose, CA - Ophir-Spiricon, a global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today introduced the Pulsar-4 Multi-Channel Smart Head to PC Interface at Photonics West. The Pulsar-4 accommodates Ophir's Smart Heads and converts a PC or laptop into a full-featured laser power/energy meter. With plug and play connectivity, the Pulsar-4 channel USB interface functions as the gateway connection between the PC and the laser/power energy meter, eliminating the need for an external display. It records pulse energies at up to 20,000 Hz for all 4 channels simultaneously, and is designed with an external trigger that measures missing pulses or specific pulses designated by the operator.
Pulsar-4 supports up to 4 smart heads at once, giving operators the ability to conduct testing simultaneously or sequentially. It is compatible with most Ophir products including thermopile, photodiode, and pyroelectric smart heads. Ophir's USBI PC software is included with each device and converts any PC into a comprehensive laser power/energy meter, with functionality such as log power and energy, averages, statistics, histograms, and more. ActiveX and complete LabVIEW support will be standard with the Pulsar-4.
"Eye-safe requirements and other industry regulations have accelerated the importance of testing lasers and energy power in a wide range of applications," stated Gary Wagner, President, Ophir-Spiricon, Inc. "Pulsar-4 provides the widest flexibility for laser and energy testing with support for testing up to four smart heads at once and recording pulse energies up to 20,000 Hz. With that kind of flexibility, our laser meters are able to withstand the most adverse or high power applications that are being driven in the defense and medical instrument sectors."
Availability & Pricing
The Pulsar-4 Multi-Channel Smart Head to PC Interface is available now. OEM pricing based on quantity ordered.
