  • Page 2 The warranty does not cover damages related to battery leakage or misuse. Gentec-EO will repair or replace, at its option, any device that proves to be defective during the warranty period, except in the case of product misuse.
  • Page 3 Revision 3.7 SAFETY INFORMATION Do not use a Gentec-EO device if the monitor or the detector looks damaged or if you suspect that the device is not operating properly. Appropriate installation must be done for water-cooled and fan-cooled detectors. Refer to the specific instructions for more information.

    The small but powerful meter of the INTEGRA series presents a direct USB or RS-232 connection so you can plug it into your PC. Simply use the PC-Gentec-EO software supplied with your product and be ready to make power or energy measurements within seconds! Each detector of the INTEGRA series offers the same incredible performance as the usual detector and meter combination, from pW to kW and from fJ to J.

  • Page 6: Pinout

    INTEGRA user manual Revision 3.7 Example for the external trigger timing requirements:  If the head detector has a risetime of Tresp = 20 µs, the time frame will be from (20% * 20 µs = 4 µs) before the laser pulse to (20 µs – 1 µs = 19 µs) after the laser pulse. ...

  • Page 7: Quick Start Procedure

    Energy detectors can only be used with pulsed lasers. Adjust the zero: The power read by PC-Gentec-EO when no laser beam is incident on the detector may not be exactly zero. For power measures, this is because the detector is not thermally stabilized OR there was a heat source in the field of view of the detector when you connected the PC-Gentec-EO.

  • Page 8: User Interface

    Do not adjust the zero for energy detectors, such as the QE series. iv. Avoid forced airflow or drafts around the detector. 3. USER INTERFACE Please refer to the PC-Gentec-EO manual for more information concerning the user interface. The manual can be downloaded on our website at: https://gentec-eo.com/downloads/specsheets-manuals.

  • Page 9: Usb And Rs-232 Serial Communication

    INTEGRA user manual Revision 3.7 4. USB AND RS-232 SERIAL COMMUNICATION 4.1. DESCRIPTION The INTEGRA has two communication modes: the binary mode for fast data acquisition and the ASCII mode. Both modes will require text input commands which must follow the rules stated in Section 4.3.

  • Page 10: To Echo Commands

    INTEGRA user manual Revision 3.7 RS-232 INTEGRA COM port settings Bits per second 115,200 Data bits Parity None Stop bits Flow control None Click OK to begin entering serial commands in the HyperTerminal window. 4.2.3. To echo commands The commands you type will not appear in the HyperTerminal window unless you set up the HyperTerminal to do so.

  • Page 11: Binary Mode Output Format

    The INTEGRA’s resolution is 12 bits for the joulemeter mode. To be compatible with other Gentec-EO monitors, a 14-bit value is sent, but the two LSBs of the low byte are not significant. Only joulemeters support the binary mode. Thermopiles in energy mode, thermal heads in standard mode and photo detectors are coded in ASCII.
  • Page 12 INTEGRA user manual Revision 3.7 Examples to decode binary commands The two data bytes are 0x40 and 0xB6. In binary they are: 0100 0000 and 1011 0100. The byte order bit is 0 for the high byte and 1 for the low byte. The high byte is therefore 0x40, and the low byte is 0xB6.
