Laserstar Power Tune / Audio Tune

The Laserstar has an exclusive audio tune capability within the Power Tune function that makes adjusting your laser to its maximum power easy. Unlike a bar graph or mechanical meter, the Power Tune screen graphically shows what came before as well as the current reading and the trend. This allows you to determine if you have reached maximum power. The screen is completely auto-ranging. Therefore, as soon as the cursor goes over the top or under the bottom edge of the display, it re-scales to put the cursor back to the middle of the screen. This allows you to devote all your attention to tuning the laser, without having to worry about the Laserstar settings. The Laserstar can generate a rising or falling audio tone to indicate higher or lower power. You can also use the audio tone feature so you do not have to look at the LaserStar at all while tuning the laser.

To use the LaserStar to fine-tune laser power:

From the main power measurement screen press the menu button then select "tune". Now press "go" then "setup". Set the percentage range of the power scale to be displayed by repeatedly pressing the value key. Now select the horizontal sweep time you desire. Now select if you want an audio tone for tuning or not. Now press "exit" and use the Power Tune screen to tune the laser power.
