QUICK GUIDE TO MEASUREMENT   

 

This section provides a quick guide to perform basic measurements with the 

PcPlug-R

 Sensor. 

 

9.1- Get Started:  

 

To start measurements simply follow this list of actions:  
 
1-

 Insert the RS-232 connector into the PC port. 

 

 
2-

 Run Serial Terminal SW or your own SW   

 
3- 

Set the personal instrument settings:

 

 

Select  the  Measurement  Range,  Zero  the  instrument,  and  choose  between  the  Power  or  Energy  measurement 
mode.  For  detailed  instructions  please 

refer  to  the 

“PcPlug-R  -  RS-232  Communication  Interface”

 

document. 

 
4- 

Verify the set wavelength: 

Select the laser wavelength. 
  
5- 

Zero the instrument: 

 

Resetting the zero value is a recommended action every time a 

PcPlug-R

 Sensor is used.  

For detailed instructions please 

refer to the 

“PcPlug-R - RS-232 Communication Interface”

 document. 

 
6-

Start the measurement session:

 

Place  the  detector  head  in  front  to  the  laser  source.  The  measured  Power/Energy  values  will  be  promptly 
displayed on the instrument screen.
