Thermopile Sensors
2.2.1
Using 1919-R with Thermopile Type Sensors
1.
Plug in the Thermopile sensor. 1919-R will reconfigure itself to work with the attached sensor.
2.
All of the sensor’s measurement parameters are shown on the main screen. Use the
Navigation keys to select and change the parameters.
3.
Use the Navigation keys to select the parameter to change and press the
Enter
key. Change
the setting with the Navigation keys. Press the
Enter
key to save.
4.
1919-R saves the changes automatically for next startup of the instrument.
Warning:
Do not exceed maximum sensor limits for power, energy, power density, and energy
. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the absorber.
2.2.2
Using 1919-R to Measure Laser Power
1.
Set
Mode
to
Power
.
2.
Set
Range
to
AUTO
or one of the manual ranges. The correct manual range is the lowest one
that is larger than the expected maximum power of the laser.
3.
Set
Laser
to the appropriate laser setting.
4.
Set
Average
to the period you wish to average power over or set to
NONE
to disable.
2.2.3
Using 1919-R to Measure Single Shot Energy
1.
Set
Mode
to
Energy
.
2.
Set
Range
to the appropriate manual range. (In
Energy
mode, there is no autoranging.) The
correct range is the lowest one that is larger than the expected maximum pulse energy of the
laser.
3.
Set
Laser
to the appropriate laser setting.
4.
Set
Threshold
if you wish to change the energy threshold.
5.
When the 1919-R screen flashes
READY
on and off, fire the laser.
