PM101x
DE-9 connector
Sensors can be hot-swapped to the power meter interface. After recognizing a new valid
sensor, the type and calibration data will be downloaded to the power meter interface in ap-
proximately 2 seconds and the unit is ready to operate with the new sensor.
Note
Older Thorlabs Sensors without a DE-9 connector
The PM101x will
NOT
automatically recognize sensors lacking a DE-9 connector, as for the
case of the 'A' and 'B' series. Please contact
for an upgrade of old sensors with
DE-9 connectors.
Note
Custom Sensors
To use sensors without a DE-9 connector, manufactured by Thorlabs or else, the user may
provide an appropriate adapter. To build the adapter, refer to the Pin-out of the DE-9 connector
shown in the
. The adapter will per default automatically be recognized by the ap-
plication
as "Photodiode adapter". This can then be adjusted in the soft-
ware.
