PRESS RELEASE

Ophir-Spiricon Inc. Introduces StarLab, Laser Measurement Software for Smart Power/Energy Sensors

Ophir-Spiricon, the global leader in precision laser measurement equipment, today announced StarLab, laser measurement software for Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP, and Vista (32-bit). StarLab works with Ophir-Spiricon's smart displays and PC interfaces, allowing users to measure, analyze, and record laser power and energy parameters from the company's line of smart power/energy sensors. The latest version of the software supports Ophir-Spiricon's full line of laser power/energy meters, including the Quasar wireless meter and Pulsar high-speed, multichannel USB meter.

StarLab is designed for such applications as measuring the peak-to-peak stability of energy pulses or the power drift of CW lasers over time. The software simultaneously logs data from up to eight (8) power/energy sensors. Users can display data from all sensors at once, tiling the information onto a PC screen, or display data from each sensor individually. StarLab can also be used to control the power/energy sensors from their own software using the built-in ActiveX control.

"StarLab turns your PC into a laser measurement lab," stated Gary Wagner, President of Ophir-Spiricon Inc. "You can transmit power and single shot energy data directly to your PC via wireless Bluetooth or you can send real-time data to your PC at up to 25,000 points per second via USB. StarLab is easy to configure and provides user-adjustable calibration. It doesn't get any easier than that."

Expanded Range of Devices

StarLab gathers and records data from Ophir's pyroelectric, thermal, and photodiode heads using any of Ophir-Spiricon's laser power/energy meters:

* USBI: USB meter; multiple devices connect up to eight (8) heads to one PC
* Pulsar: high speed, multi-channel USB meter supports data logging to PC,
up to 25,000 Hz
* Quasar: wireless Bluetooth meter with range >10 meters to PC
* Nova II: high definition, stand-alone meter with LCD display
* Vega: compact, stand-alone meter with bright, color display

StarLab collects, then displays data in a variety of formats, including
moving average graphs, energy vs. time, and histograms of pulses per energy interval. The menu-driven interface makes configuring measurement parameters, such as range and laser, quick and easy. Data logging periods range from 5 seconds to 500 hours.

Pricing and Availability
StarLab is available now. It is included free of charge with all USBI,
Pulsar, Quasar, Nova II, and Vega power/energy meters.
