9. A message will then indicate that the drivers have been successfully updated and a QC- LASER USB Communication Port is now available. 10. You can now communicate with the Jewel using either the included Jewel Laser application or by using any generic communication terminal program. You can view the Com Port number assigned to the Jewel in your computers device manager under Ports. -
Page 17: Jewel Laser Application
Power up the Jewel laser head. Start the Jewel software. The Jewel Laser application startup screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 12. o This application has been designed as a graphical user interface for ease of use. It includes a Command Terminal section that can be used to manually send and receive commands, to and from the laser system. -

Page 20: Laser Operation
MANUAL SHUTTER OPERATION The Jewel Laser utilizes a manual shutter, located at the output of the laser head (see Figure 13). The shutter blocks laser output when in the CLOSED position. An internal switch prevents the laser from firing. The switch is satisfied only when the lever is fully in the OPEN position. -
