LaserTrak Software
LaserTrak® is a Windows
®
-based software program, which allows you to
acquire and display the Length, Velocity, Quality Factor, and Gauge Status in
real time. The LaserTrak software configures the gauge’s operating
parameters, displays data, and collects data, which can be stored on a
computer hard drive. This LaserSpeed series of non contact speed and length
gauges provide a set of versatile tools that are applicable for a wide variety of
process measurement schemes. LaserTrak allows you to take full advantage
of this versatility in a straightforward, easy to understand manner.
There are several features available with the LaserTrak software. LaserTrak
mimics a chart recorder output on the screen and monitor the speed, length
and Quality Factor in real time and presents a time history depiction of the
data. LaserTrak can acquire and store data, and load and display stored data
from a previously acquired data file.
LaserTrak also allows the configuration of the gauge operating parameters to
optimize the gauge’s performance for each application. The gauge can
emulate any mechanical pulse tachometer by using the gauge configuration
feature. To configure the pulse outputs or any other parameter of the gauge,
Click on “tools”, then click on “LaserSpeed Configuration”. Change the
operating parameters to match your operating conditions and then save the
parameters to the gauge by clicking on close. Once the parameters have been
saved to the gauge you do not need the LaserTrak software to operate the
gauge. However, LaserTrak software can be a very useful tool in getting
familiar with the gauge’s operation and performance. It can be useful to
monitor the gauge's operation until you are comfortable with the gauge’s
performance.
LaserTrak for Windows
Note: LaserTrak Version 4.0 or later must be used with the LS9000 gauge.
1) Make sure the RS232 cable is properly connected to the gauge and the
computer. See the LS4000-3 Instruction Handbook if more information
is needed.
2) Make sure the power is applied to the gauge.
