PC Software & Drivers

This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available. Check out the datasheet for more details.


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+, Juno-RS, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and IPM sensor 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.


Simple Measurement.vi

Program for those who want to use Centauri connected to IS1.5-VIS-FPD-800 or IS1.5-IRG-FPD-800 integrating sphere with LabVIEW 2017.
Note: In order to work with the application example, it is necessary to install the LabVIEW runtime engine 2017, downloadable from the National Instruments website.


Firmware - Centauri (latest version 5.02)

Embedded s/w for Centauri Laser Power / Energy Meter
Note: Firmware update is performed by downloading the files into a USB Flash disk from Ophir website and connecting it to the Centauri (see link above).
The firmware can't be updated via StarLab.
