The Centauri dual channel laser power and energy meter (P/N 7Z01701) is the most feature rich desktop laser power/energy meter on the market. Just plug in one of the many Ophir sensors and you have a whole measurement laboratory at your fingertips. The Centauri’s dual channel capabilities enable the user to simply plug in any of Ophir’s thermal, pyroelectric or photodiode sensors and measure the two channels independently, or a comparison between the two channels. The bright color display gives unparalleled legibility and ease of interpreting information. Centauri has many on board features such as laser tuning, data logging, graphing, normalize, power or energy density, attenuation scaling, max and min limits. Centauri can also display the power or energy as a high resolution simulated analog needle display. Centauri can be either battery operated or from an AC source with the charger plugged in at all times. Its bright display and user selectable color format enables ease of use in dark room conditions or when wearing protective glasses. The built-in USB and RS232 interfaces and StarLab PC software allow display and processing of data either in real time or from previously stored data. Results are displayed graphically on a PC. To support PC interfacing, LabVIEW drivers, a COM Object Interface and demo source code are provided.
