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.

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

StarBright Laser Power/Energy Meter Overview

StarBright is a compact, feature-rich, handheld laser power/energy meter. Displaying measurements from pW to kW’s and pJ to hundreds of Joules, StarBright measures power, single shot energy, repetitive energy, frequency, and beam size with Ophir’s wide range of thermal, pyroelectric, and photodiode laser sensors. It also measures irradiance and dosage with the PD300RM radiometer sensors, and laser beam size and beam position with the BeamTrack power/position/size laser sensors. The newest version of StarBright can be used to measure the instantaneous power of a laser pulse. This is especially useful for measuring lasers in high power applications. StarBright can now also be used to measure total energy exposure with a Photodiode sensor, a big plus for photolithography applications.
StarBright – Full Tutorial		Firmware Upgrade of StarLite and StarBright

The new Ophir StarBright is the most advanced of Ophir’s family of handheld laser meters. This video walks you through the range of capabilities, and shows you how to use them. This is the FULL video teaching you how to use StarBright.		Field upgrade of the firmware for the StarLite and StarBright meters is very simple. In this video, we’ll walk through the process, step by step.
Measuring Kilowatt Laser Beams with 50W Sensors		Introduction to the StarLab Laser Measurement Application

For measuring high average powers, you may not need to use a high average power, water-cooled, big and heavy sensor. This video shows you three practical solutions to “get away” with using lower power sensors to measure high power beams, using short exposure times.		This video gives an overview of the StarLab application and its various functions. Part 1 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
Calibration Factors - Laser Power/Energy Meter		Clarifications: Range Selection, Measurement Duration

When a power/energy meter is in "Calibrate" mode, various "Factors" are displayed to the user. This video explains the meaning of each of these factors.		Sometimes, even experienced users of laser measurement equipment come across some issues that, although basic, need to be clarified. This video reviews 2 such issues: (1) selection of correct range when it's not quite obvious (and what happens if one goes over range), and (2) how long a measurement duration may be.
