6.3 Simple LabVIEW Example using SCPI Commands
This example works with PM100D, PM100A and PM100USB
PM100D Simple Example.vi
This VI shows how to communicate with a PM100A optical power meter or
PM100D optical power/energy meter with SCPI commands. The following
steps are demonstrated within this application:
- Initializing the instrument
- Getting system info
- Setting parameters
- Measurement configuration
- Measuring queue
- Fetching and displaying a measurement value
- Closing the application
Averaging Rate
Sets the averaging rate - 3000 averages take approximately 1s for
performing a new measurement value
Readout Config
Selects the measurement parameter
- POW power measurement in W
- CURR current measurement in A
- VOLT voltage measuremetn in V
- ENER energy measurement in J (PM100D / PM100USB only)
- FREQ frequency / repetition rate measurement in Hz (PM100D/USB)
- PDEN power density measurement in W/cm² (PM100D/USB only)
- EDEN energy density measurement in J/cm² (PM100D/USB only)
