Laser Measurement Software converts PC into power/energy station.October 4, 2011 -
StarLab v2.20 graphically displays, processes, and logs power, energy, beam position, and beam size measurements from BeamTrack sensors. With software, laser sensors can be displayed separately or multiple data sets can be displayed in one graph. Graphic options include line plot, histogram, bar chart, and simulated analog needle. Using COM object, developers can integrate laser beam measurements into programming environments such as Microsoft's® Visual Basic, LabVIEW®, and MatLab®.

New StarLab Laser Power/Energy Software Adds Support for BeamTrack, Industry's Only Power/Position/Size Sensors
Logan, UT - Ophir Photonics Group, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced StarLab 2.20, laser measurement software that converts a PC into a multi-channel laser power/energy station. The newest version of the software includes support for the unique BeamTrack sensors; they combine multiple measurement functions in a single device: power, energy, beam position, and beam size.
The sensors also provide information on centering and beam wander, all in a single, compact device. StarLab provides an easy-to-use, PC-based application that graphically displays, processes, and logs all these measurements.
With StarLab 2.20, laser sensors can be displayed separately or multiple data sets can be displayed in one graph. Graphic options include line plot, histogram, bar chart, and simulated analog needle. Data can be displayed graphically or saved in text format. The COM object allows developers to integrate laser beam measurements into sophisticated programming environments, such as Microsoft's® Visual Basic, LabVIEW®, and MatLab®.
LabVIEW support, for example, integrates real-time control and advanced analysis and signal processing functions with Ophir's Juno. The Juno is a compact USB module that connects any of Ophir's 100+ smart laser sensors - thermal, pyroelectric, or photodiode -- to a PC USB port.
With its support for BeamTrack, StarLab 2.20 can now measure beam position and beam size, in addition to power and energy. Windows 7, 64 bit compatibility makes working with large data sets easier, computations faster, and multitasking more efficient.
StarLab 2.20 works with Ophir's smart displays and PC interfaces, allowing users to measure, analyze, and record laser power and energy parameters from a wide variety of smart power/energy sensors. Data can be collected from thermal, pyroelectric, and photodiode heads using any of the company's laser power/energy meters, PC interfaces, or combinations of the two.
Juno: USB laser sensor to PC interface; multiple devices connect up to eight (8) heads to one PC
USBI: USB laser sensor to PC interface
Vega: compact, stand-alone meter with bright, color display Nova II: high definition, stand-alone meter with LCD display
Pulsar: high speed, multi-channel USB meter supports data logging to PC, up to 25,000 Hz
Quasar: wireless Bluetooth meter with range >10 meters to PC
Pricing and Availability
StarLab 2.20 is available now. It is included free of charge with all Juno, USBI, Vega, Nova II, Pulsar, and Quasar power/energy meters. It works on Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, Vista (32-bit), and Windows 7 (32-bit and
64-bit) platforms.
