Virtual meter (PC-Interface) allowing connectivity of Ophir’s smart (DB-15) power and energy sensors to automation systems and computers using RS-232 communication
- Plug and play with all standard Ophir smart sensors
- Analog output in autonomous mode: Outputs voltage relative to measurement while connected standalone to a sensor.
- Robust connectors, suited for semi-industrial environment
- Advanced logging and data processing with included StarLab application
- Pulsed Power measurements with Thermopile detectors
- Low Frequency Power - power measurement from pulse cycle energy (for VCSEL) See All Features
Software
PC Software & Drivers
This section describes various ways to interface the Ophir meter to your PC as well as the software options available. Check out the datasheet for more details.
The StarLab application together with an Ophir meter turns your PC or laptop into a full-fledged laser power/energy meter. Supports most Ophir laser power/energy sensors. Up to 8 sensors can be displayed at once on one PC. By using the Ophir COM Object, you can control the device from your own application. Supports the Ariel, Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova II, Vega, Pulsar-1/2/4, Quasar, EA-1 and Ariel devices.
Library supplied for a complete measurement interface with most of our USB speaking devices (Centauri, StarBright, StarLite, Juno, Juno+, Nova-II, Pulsar, Vega). Makes use of our new COM object.
Firmware - Juno-RS (latest version 1.04)

Features
Juno+: A New Virtual Laser Power Meter On Your PC
The new Ophir Juno+ enables you to connect your Ophir “Smart Sensor” to your PC via USB. Your PC then becomes a full-featured laser power meter, either running Ophir’s StarLab software application, or perhaps communicating with your own system via our “COM Object”. Get a glimpse of its capabilities in this overview video.
Laser Measurement PC Interfaces
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, rather than a stand-alone meter, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC interfaces could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, but instead of having a separate on-board display, the PC becomes your display. In this video you will learn about the range of PC Interfaces available from Ophir.
StarLab 3.0: Introduction and First Steps
This video explains the various items on the StarLab screen, and shows you how to perform basic laser measurements. Part 1 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
StarLab 3.0: Second Steps
Sometimes we want to not only get a reading, but perform additional processing on the reading. This video shows you how to use various functions in StarLab, such as Averaging, Scale Factor, Normalize, Density, etc. Part 2 of a series of video segments teaching you how to use StarLab.
Ophir Laser Measurement Virtual Meters
If all your laser measurement work involves a laptop or a PC, one of Ophir's direct-to-PC virtual meters could be an ideal solution. These are full-fledged Laser Power and Energy meters, and - together with the sensor and Ophir’s powerful StarLab software application - turn your PC into a full-function, multi-channel laser measurement workstation.
In this webinar, you will learn about the range of virtual meters and interface options available from Ophir.
