We’d all like to imagine that our things will stay in mint condition forever. But we know that’s not the case. Just like laser degrade (and therefore must be measured), the measurement equipment itself will slowly drift away from its precise calibration.
This is why we recommend yearly calibration. If you aren’t sure when your laser power or energy is due for recalibration, you can check by connecting it to a meter. If it needs to be recalibrated, a notification will pop up on the first screen.
Here’s how the recalibration process works.

You can now measure your laser directly from the Ethernet network, without any need to go through to a PC.
Ophir’s new EA-1 is an Ethernet Adapter which can be used with virtually all power sensors to turn them into an Ethernet laser power meter.
