The new PowerMax™-USB/RS sensors are the world’s first laser power
sensors that utilizes state of the art microelectronics miniaturization techniques and integrate an
entire instrument within a USB 2.0 or RS-232 cable connector. Specifically, PowerMax
USB/RS sensors have all the signal processing and power measurement electronics normally
contained in a LabMax meter, and connects directly to a PC with plug and play functionality.
Ideally suited for low and high volume embedded sensor applications, this new family of sensors
eliminates the need for a separate meter box, thus delivering a significant savings in cost and
space, but with no reduction whatsoever in performance.
Features
- PowerMax-USB provides direct USB 2.0 connection to PC.
Power provided via USB connection.
- PowerMax-RS provides RS-232 connectivity. Power input
provided via +5 VDC input.
- Instrumentation platform is compatible with thermopiles
and optical sensors
- Displays beam position with position-sensing quadrant
thermopiles (with LM-model sensors like LM-10)
- High resolution 24-bit A/D converter supports
measurement accuracy equivalent to that found in
Coherent’s top-of-the-line LabMax meter
- Four digits of measurement resolution
- Sensors include spectral compensation for accurate use
at wavelengths that differ from the calibration wavelength.
Each device receives a unique spectral compensation curve
specific to the absorption of its specific element, as well as
transmission characterization of any associated optics.
- Thermopile sensors include a speed-up algorithm that
speeds up the natural response of the thermopile detector
without overshoot
- LED status indicators inside USB and RS-232 connectors
provide health-and-status information
- Long pulse joules capability using thermopile sensors
