Software Controlled Laser Power Meter Interface

Software Controlled Laser Power Meter Interface

 

  • Software was developed to provide a computer-controlled interface to a Universal Radiometer. The Universal Radiometer is a piece of test equipment used to measure laser power. The device was controlled by a PC serial port. The software was developed using National Instruments LabVIEW graphical programming language.
  • All instrument controls are sent from the screen display through the PC serial port to the test equipment.
  • Data from the test equipment is sent via the PC serial port to the computer and analyzed and displayed on the screen display.
  • Measured data can be stored to an external file in Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet compatible format.
  • Measurement statistics are calculated and displayed in real time
