Our optical power meter kits are based on our handheld PM100 and PM200 Series power and energy meters and C-Series sensors. In addition to these kits, we also offer the power meters and sensors separately.

The PM120VA includes our PM100A optical power meter, which is a digital meter featuring an analog needle display with a supplemental LCD. The analog display is ideal when making relative power measurements. While the PM120VA includes an S120VC sensor, it is also compatible with all C-Series photodiode sensors and thermal sensors but not with the pyroelectric energy sensors.

All other kits include a PM100D digital power and energy meter or a PM200 touch screen power and energy meter. The PM100D meter offers a menu driven control panel, 4" backlit display, SD card slot for storing data, and compatibility with all of our C-Series sensors for power or energy measurements.

The PM200 meter offers a brilliant 5.7" touch screen and many enhanced features like an optional fiber inspection camera (avalable soon).

All the meters have USB 2.0 connectivity, a rechargeable battery for field work, and utilize our quick-connect C-Series sensors. Please see the Specs and Display tabs for for more information, or see the PM100A, PM100D, and PM200 full product presentations to learn about all of their features.

Numeric Display		Measurement Settings
Click to Enlarge	The large power or energy readout is the main element of the numeric display. Supplementary display icons can be added to show various pieces of information. (e.g., a corresponding bar graph scale with integrated min-max indicators offers a quasi-analog view of the data). All display elements can be quickly configured.	Click to Enlarge	This screen provides overview and control over all settings of the connected sensor. Additionally, the logging stop criteria and logging interval are configured here.
Needle Display		File Manager
Click to Enlarge	The needle display with its minimum and maximum indicators is very convenient for laser tuning. The large numeric display below the gauge provides an exact power readout. This screen offers the same convenient configuration features as the numeric display.	Click to Enlarge	The file manager provides access to the local drive or to a user-supplied USB flash drive. Typically logging files, user calibration, or correction curves are stored here.
Graph Display		Sensor Information
Click to Enlarge	The graph display shows the power or energy reading as a function of time. While recording data, this screen can be toggled with the statistic display. Directly after recording or after loading stored data, you can zoom into the graph and set a cursor for data analysis.	Click to Enlarge	The sensor information screen shows sensor-relevant data and the response curve with indicators for minimum, maximum, and set wavelength, which are stored in the sensor EEPROM.
Statistic Display		Color Schemes
Click to Enlarge	On the statistics screen, all important parameters are calculated and displayed in linear and logarithmic format. The numbers are supported by a histogram, which can be enlarged. All data is initially stored to a temporary file that can be saved.	Click to Enlarge	On the color scheme display the display color can be adjusted for own preference and best visibility.
Settings Page		Multi-Language GUI
Click to Enlarge	The settings page offers easy access to all measurement and system-related settings.	Click to Enlarge	The language of the GUI can be choosen between 6 different operating languages on the multi-language screen.

The user can customize the display screen by selecting various measurement tasks to be shown on the screen. Some screens are partly configurable by the user, for example, the user can display the min and max values within a certain time period or enable visual and audible peak indicator as a tuning aid.

They come with a post/holder/base? We do not see the information in the page here though. Ken

A resposne from Julien at Thorlabs: Dear Ken, thank you for your feedback! We indeed do not write explicitly that a post holder and a base are included in those bundles. We will modify the text on the webpage to make the exact component list clearer.

A response from Julien at Thorlabs: Dear Martin, I am really sorry about this inconvenience. We will ship you a replacement immediately. Concerning your question about the quality control, we do check each power meter individually before shipment. I unfortunately do not know what the exact problem with your console is but I assume something must have happened during the shipment. We will inspect the unit as soon as we have it back and take the appropriate measures to prevent such issue from happening again. I will contact you directly to sort out the shipping details for the replacement.

I have unpacked my PM204 (consists of a PM200 and a S120VC) but it is not reading anything. The measured value remains inf as well as the minimum and maximum value. Also in the applied software I don`t see any reading (value remains 0 or ---). I have auto ranging on an tried with several light conditions. In the software an indicator shows A (waiting for new measurement value)(in the left top corner) while I expect sometimes a T of "trigger". The detector itself is ok since it is functioning on a PM100D console. I have attached also a second detector (S155C)on the PM200 without success. I have checked for firmwareupdates but there are non available on the website. I can not find any reset functions or trigger-arm functions in the manual nor in the software. Did anybody check the console before chipping? That must be since a callibration sheet was shipped with it?!?! How do I fix it? Martin

Response from Javier at Thorlabs to dBolles: Thank you very much for contacting us. Yes, all of our C series sensors have NIST-traceable calibration data, as well as sensor information, saved in the DB9 connector. This information is automatically retrieved by our power meters as soon as the sensor is connected.
