4 Installation

4.1 Software Installation

The Beam Software can be downloaded from the Thorlabs website:

http://www.thorlabs.com/software_pages/ViewSoftwarePage.cfm?Code=Beam

Please check for updates to the Thorlabs Beam Software and always use the latest Software
version.

The Beam software versions 8.0 or higher support the beam profiler series BP209, BC106N,
and BC207. Software versions below V8.0 do not support the BC207 Series.

·

Save the ZIP file to your computer and unpack the archive. The Install Shield Wizards starts
by double-clicking the setup.exe.

·

The installation contains 2 main parts - the NI-VISA™ Runtime V17.0 and the Beam Software
itself, including drivers and the manual.

·

Please read the license agreements carefully, choose "I agree" and click 'Next'.

·

Windows Security will ask your confirmation to install the Thorlabs USB driver.

·

You may check the box "Always trust software from "Thorlabs GmbH".This will shorten the in-
stallation. However, if you do not want to do that, please click the "Install" button. You will
then be asked to confirm the installation of further Thorlabs software components. Please in-
stall the instrument driver packages as well as the Firmware Loader Driver Package.

·

When all drivers are installed, the "Read Me" comes up.

·

Click "Next", then "Finish" to complete the software installation.

4.2 Connection to the PC

Connect the BP209 Series Beam Profiler to a USB 2.0 port of your computer. Use only the
cable that comes with the beam profiler or a cable qualified for high speed USB 2.0 standard.

Attention

Use only the supplied high speed (USB 2.0) cable. USB 1.1 cables can cause transmis-
sion errors and improper instrument operation!

Please make sure, that the USB cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port or that a used USB
HUB provides sufficient power. Some models may not be able to deliver the specified
max. current (500mA).

After connecting the instrument to the PC, the operating system loads the appropriate USB
drivers for the Beam Profiler instrument.

Once connected, an icon will appear in the task bar indicating that the driver installation is in
progress

To verify the correct driver installation, check the presence of the instrument in the Device Man-
ager: From the Start button select Control Panel to Device Manager.

If you cannot see an entry please check the

troubleshooting

section.
