Well... it's finally finished! 
To avoid writing a whole bunch of information over again, here's a link to the project page on my website with information and screenshots:
LumenOS « Rapture Innovations
And here's the documentation:
LumenOS P1 Documentation « Rapture Innovations
What do you get?
Most importantly, LumenOS P1 attenuates the noise present in some Kenometer Pros and gives you the ability to measure low-power lasers accurately to 0.1mW. I tested this on my Pro with a HeNe against a Coherent Lasercheck.
LumenOS P1 also gives you a richer, intuitive interface that offers very easy configuration of the LPM.
The Price
$40 for the standard version. I have a little upgrade utility I wrote that can flash the firmware, but if you are willing to pay shipping both ways, I will do the upgrade.
NOTE: If you ship it to me for the upgrade I will tailor your install for optimal performance on YOUR Kenometer!
I've considered selling an advanced version for $60. This would let you boot up the meter in Debug Mode and connect to the PC to take screenshots or videos directly from the meter screen (example video - note the meter runs at about half the original sample speed when streaming video). However, in Debug Mode the meter will not stream readings. If anyone has a need for this sort of thing and thinks it's worth $20, send me a PM so we can discuss it.
Note
In the interest of full disclosure, just be careful when logging to the PC. The meter does not transmit readings unless it's on the graphing screen. So if you exit from the graphing screen, you could potentially mess up your dataset.
----------
I've worked really hard on this for a very long time. I'm hoping people like it and, well, want to buy it.
But, more importantly, here's to hoping that Radiant Electronics or Jerry come up with an answer to it. It would be great to have a more advanced LPM easily available to us! :beer:
