· Connect the PM101x to a PC or other power source via the USB port. o The PM101 accepts external power supplies with 5 V to 36 V via the DA-15 interface. When connecting the USB port while using an external power supply via the DA-15 port, connecting the USB port will automatically switch to the 5 V power supply via USB. - Page 12 DE-9 connectors. Note Custom Sensors To use sensors without a DE-9 connector, manufactured by Thorlabs or else, the user may provide an appropriate adapter. To build the adapter, refer to the Pin-out of the DE-9 connector shown in the Appendix .

The PM101 features a number of additional options, due to the DA-15 output connector. The PM101 is per default configured to RS232 configuration (+/- 5 V voltage level). This can be changed to a UART configuration (0/5 V voltage level) so that the PM101 can be accessed by external micro-controllers for instrument control and data export. -

PM101 control. In RS232 operation the PM101 uses voltage levels of +/-5 V, while in UART mode the voltage level is shifted to 0/5 V. The PM101 can also be adjusted to accommodate micro-controllers using 3.3 V. When switched to 3.3 V, UART operation is toler- ant for 5 V input signal. -
Page 19: Analog Output
Power meters PM101 and PM101A can be run autonomously by only connecting a power sup- ply and using analog output. In that case, no control device is required. For the PM101, both analog output ports can be used for autonomous operation. -
Page 20: Ntc Input
PM101x 3.2.15 NTC Input To monitor the temperature in a test environment, the PM101 has an NTC Input (DA-15 Pin 14) which allows connection of an NTC thermistor. The measurement range is 0.1 – 100 kW. The set range R0 and the bandwidth B for the NTC thermistor can be adjusted in the OPM software or through SCPI commands. -
Page 21: Software Requirements
NTC measurements results in long-time monitoring experiments. For more information, please see the OPM manual. 2. When a PM101 is connected, it is possible to configure the analog AO2 port and display the output voltage. 3.3.2.2 PM101A Specific Software Functions When a PM101A is connected, it is possible to configure the analog SMA port and display the output voltage. -
