Laser Measurement Software logs/manages meter sensor data.

Press Release Summary:




StarLab laser measurement software allows users to measure, analyze, and record laser power and energy parameters via Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, and Vista. It simultaneously logs data from up to 8 power/energy sensors and can display it from all sensors at once, tile information onto PC screen, or display data from each sensor individually. Data can be transmitted to PC via wireless Bluetooth or at up to 25,000 points/sec via USB and logged in periods from 5 sec to 500 hr.

Ophir-Spiricon Inc. Introduces StarLab, Laser Measurement Software for Smart Power/Energy Sensors



April 14, 2009 - Logan, UT - Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced StarLab, laser measurement software for Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, and Vista (32-bit). StarLab works with Ophir-Spiricon's smart displays and PC interfaces, allowing users to measure, analyze, and record laser power and energy parameters from the company's line of smart power/energy sensors. The latest version of the software supports Ophir-Spiricon's full line of laser power/energy meters, including the Quasar wireless meter and Pulsar high speed, multi-channel USB meter.

StarLab is designed for such applications as measuring the peak-to-peak stability of energy pulses or the power drift of CW lasers over time. The software simultaneously logs data from up to eight (8) power/energy sensors. Users can display data from all sensors at once, tiling the information onto a PC screen, or display data from each sensor individually. StarLab can also be used to control the power/energy sensors from their own software using the built-in ActiveX control.

"StarLab turns your PC into a laser measurement lab," stated Gary Wagner, President of Ophir-Spiricon Inc. "You can transmit power and single shot energy data directly to your PC via wireless Bluetooth or you can send real-time data to your PC at up to 25,000 points per second via USB. StarLab is easy to configure and provides user-adjustable calibration. It doesn't get any easier than that."

Expanded Range of Devices

StarLab gathers and records data from Ophir's pyroelectric, thermal, and photodiode heads using any of Ophir-Spiricon's laser power/energy meters:

- USBI: USB meter; multiple devices connect up to eight (8) heads to one PC

- 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 Nova II: high definition, stand-alone meter with LCD display

- Vega: compact, stand-alone meter with bright, color display

StarLab collects, then displays data in a variety of formats, including moving average graphs, energy vs. time, and histograms of pulses per energy interval. The menu-driven interface makes configuring measurement parameters, such as range and laser, quick and easy. Data logging periods range from 5 seconds to 500 hours.

Pricing and Availability

StarLab is available now. It is included free of charge with all USBI, Pulsar, Quasar, Nova II, and Vega power/energy meters.
