The PcPlug-R series includes a series of RS-232 instruments for the measurement of laser Power and Energy that
combine both the sensor and the readout electronics in a single plug-and-play product.
In this line the traditional standalone meter has been reduced in size and is now embedded in a case of only 78 x
26.4x15 mm.
Laser measurement is done by connecting directly the instrument to a PC without the need of any additional
electronics instrumentation.
For implementations that require customer written SW and or for system integration, the PcPlug-R is supplied
with serial communication protocol. See the "PcPlug-R - RS-232 Communication Interface" document.
The platform is designed to measure the optical power of lasers or other light sources and the single shot energy
of pulsed light sources, from UV to far IR.
The following sections describe the measurement functionality of PcPlug-R Electronics; for the LaserPoint
sensors and the Galileo Software refer to their specific manuals.
Before using any product from the PcPlug-R line it is worth considering the following:
1-Laser Source: What specific laser has to be measured? Which sensor is the best suitable for that source, in terms
of aperture, full scale, hardness of its absorber? What has to be measured: laser power or laser energy?
laser power, energy, and the power/energy densities exceeding the sensor ratings? (See Sensor Specifications on
http://www.laserpoint.eu/)
2-Instrument Settings: What settings have to be configured (for example, statistics, energy threshold, wavelength,
and so on)?
Each instrument has been carefully inspected and tested prior to shipment. Unpack the item(s) and assure that no
damage occurred during transport and handling.
Any damage must be immediately reported to LaserPoint and to the Carrier.
Do not use the detector(s) if the delivered parts show signs of damage. If the shipping box seems to be damaged,
carefully inspect the contents mechanically and electrically.
