1.3   Requirements

Hardware Requirements

PM103:

 Please provide an appropriate cable to be attached to the DA-15 connector.

PM103A:

 Please provide 

appropriate cables

 to connect to the SMA ports.

Software Requirements

All models of the PM103x can be run with the Thorlabs' 

OPM software

. Please see the require-

ments for the OPM on the website.

Sensor Requirements

Thorlabs C-Series Sensors 

The PM103x supports all Thorlabs C-Series photodiode and pyroelectric sensors. The C-Series
can be easily identified by the red connector-housing of the DE-9 connector, compared to older
versions of Thorlabs power sensors. 

Please  refer  to  the  chapter 

Connecting  a  Power  Sensor

  on  how  to  use  older  Thorlabs

sensors or custom sensors.
