USB port. The PM102 can alternatively use the DA-15 interface for instrument con- trol and to connect a power supply. Further, the PM102 can even be controlled via an external micro-controller, supplied by the customer. For more information on the special features of the...
To run the PM102x power meter, additional cables or mounting devices may be required. Cables · PM102: Cable to attach to the provided DA-15 connector housing. · PM102A: SMA cable: Please provide a cable with a SMA connector to operate the PM102A.
PM102: Please provide an appropriate cable to be attached to the DA-15 connector. PM102A: Please provide appropriate cables to connect to the SMA ports. Software Requirements All models of the PM102x can be run with the Thorlabs' OPM software. Please see the require- ments for the OPM on the website. Sensor Requirements Thorlabs C-Series Sensors The PM102x supports all Thorlabs C-Series thermal power and position sensors.
· Connect the PM102x to a PC or other power source via the USB port. o The PM102 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.

Older Thorlabs Sensors without a DE-9 connector The PM102x will NOT automatically recognize sensors lacking a DE-9 connector, as for the case of the 'A' and 'B' series. Please contact Thorlabs for an upgrade of old sensors with DE-9 connectors.
The PM102 features a number of additional options, due to the DA-15 output connector. The PM102 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 PM102 can be accessed by external micro-controllers for instrument control and data export.
Termination Character LF (x0A; \n). The termination character needs to be enabled. Note PM102: To operate the PM102 via RS232, RxD, TxD, and GND need to be wired from the DA-15 con- nector to a 9 Pin female connector to perform the connections. PM102 DA-15 Pin...
PM102 control. In RS232 operation the PM102 uses voltage levels of +/-5 V, while in UART mode the voltage level is shifted to 0/5 V. The PM102 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.
POS). 3.2.14 NTC Input To monitor the temperature in a test environment, the PM102 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.
Please find the requirements for the PC intended to be used for operation of the PM102x on website. 3.3.2 PM102x Specific Software Functions When using a PM102 power meter interface, the latest version of the OPM software shows several power meter specific functions. To see details, please also visit the manual.
3 Operating Instructions 2. When a PM102 is connected, it is possible to configure the analog ports POWER, X POS , and Y POS. There are two configuration options for these three ports: One for the port POWER and one for the two ports X POS and Y POS to configure the position in X and Y.
Note: The PM102 features an amplifier after each Thermal Sensor Input port TH1, TH2, TH3, and TH4 (Pins 4, 5, 8, and 9). All 4 amplifiers are always on the same range.
The PM102x must not be operated in explosion endangered environments! Only with written consent from Thorlabs may changes to single components be made or com- ponents not supplied by Thorlabs be used.
