The Vega is the most versatile and sophisticated handheld 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 bright color display gives unparalleled legibility and ease of
interpreting information. Besides measuring power or energy from pJ and pW to hundreds of Joules and thousands of watts, the Vega has
many on board features such as laser tuning, data logging, graphing, normalize, power or energy density units, attenuation scaling, max
and min limits. For those who prefer an analog display, the Vega can also display the power or energy with a high resolution simulated
analog needle display.
The Vega can be operated either by battery or from an AC source with the charger plugged in at all times. Its bright display and backlit
keys allow easy use in dark room conditions or with laser glasses on.
The built-in USB and RS232 interfaces and StarLab and StarCom PC software allow on-line processing of data or processing previously
stored data; results are displayed graphically on a PC. To support PC interfacing, LabVIEW drivers and ActiveX controls are provided.
