Measuring with the LaserDiagnosticsSoftware LDS
This chapter describes measurements with the LDS. For a detailed description of the software installation, file
management and evaluation of the measured data, please refer to the separate operating manual LDS.

Warning messages
DANGER
Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation
The device measures direct laser radiation, but does not emit any radiation itself. However, during
the measurement the laser beam is reflected at the rotating measuring tip. This produces scattered
or directed reflection of the laser beam (laser class 4). The reflected beam is usually not visible.
X
Please wear safety goggles OD 6 adapted to the power, power density, laser wave length and oper-
ating mode of the laser beam source in use.
X
Wear suitable protective clothing and protective gloves.
X
Protect yourself from laser radiation by separating protective devices (e.g. by using appropriate
shielding).
X
In measurement mode, a safety distance of one meter to the BeamMonitor BM+ must be main-
tained even when wearing safety goggles and safety clothing.
DANGER
Serious eye or skin injury due to laser radiation
If the device is moved from its aligned position, increased scattered or directed reflection of the
laser beam occurs during measuring operation (laser class 4).
X
Mount the device so that it cannot be moved by an unintentional knock or cables being pulled ac-
cidentally.
DANGER
Fire and explosion hazards due to scattered or directed laser radiation
When the BeamMonitor BM+ is being operated, the irradiation must be fully absorbed behind the
measurement zone. Fire bricks or other partly-absorbing surfaces are not suitable.
X
Use an adequate absorber. Dependent on the application, PRIMES offers suitable laser power me-
ters, such as the PowerMonitor PM 48/100.
