We attach great importance to quality when developing and producing our measurement technology<\/a>. And to great effect: With proper handling and regular maintenance, many of our measuring devices can continue to be used long past the expected end of their service life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this longevity can become a real challenge for some beam profilers<\/a> that rely on specialized measurement software.
In particular, M2 systems<\/a> and beam profilers \u2013 some of which were purchased well over 10 years ago. The software for these measuring devices is based on operating systems that were current at the time, but which Microsoft now no longer supports. The measuring devices themselves, however, still function perfectly. How should users proceed here, and where are the pitfalls?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glimpse back into the history of beam profilers<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For example, take Photon cameras<\/a>: At the beginning of the millennium, these used the BeamPro software, which was developed on the 32-bit operating system Windows 98. While BeamPro was discontinued over 15 years ago, there are still isolated users even today! At the same time, the beam profile measuring devices from our Spiricon brand used the BeamStar software until 2007. After the merging of Ophir and Spiricon, the use of a unified platform was marked by the introduction of the LBA software.
Since 2012, most Ophir beam profilers have used the BeamGage <\/a>software, which is already based on a 64-bit operating system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does the end of the operating system put an automatic\nstop to the measurements?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now, many of you may be thinking, \u201c2012 was eons ago!\u201d But, in fact, questions have been popping up lately about how to use these measuring devices. Especially since Microsoft stopped supporting the Windows 7 OS in 2020, it has been banned from most corporate networks. And when it goes, so does the basis for using the old software that runs the beam profilers. While the LBA and BeamStar programs themselves were never tested on the Windows 7 OS (as they were developed on Windows XP and Vista), they still worked when run as 32-bit variants. On our website you\u2019ll find the various legacy software versions to download<\/a>, along with an overview of which operating system they\u2019re based on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No more FireWire support<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Additional challenges exist with our M2 devices that\nuse a camera with a FireWire connection: This has not been fully supported\nsince Windows 8 ended! If you want to continue operating this system, you\nshould do so with open eyes, taking this hurdle into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fastest way to success<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are a few things to keep in mind\nwhen operating older \u2014 indeed, almost historic \u2014 beam profilers. To save you\nunnecessary effort, we recommend the following procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Check the Legacy\nSoftware<\/a> section of the website to see if\nyour software supports a 64-bit operating system. If so, then download the\nlatest software version available, in accordance with your license.<\/li>
  2. If you own a\nbeam profiler that still has a FireWire connection or whose measurement\nsoftware requires a 32-bit operating system, contact our Technical Support<\/a> before investing time and\/or money \u2013 potentially in\nvain!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    And one last tip about software updates in general: On\nour website, you can always find the latest software versions in the download\nsection. You can download these free of charge with the license you once\npurchased along with your beam profiler. Additional costs arise only if you\nswitch from an older software to a new one (e.g. from LBA to BeamGage).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
