First laser ... Nova x125

[TheMonk]

Gazoo, thanks for sharing this.

Are the numbers in the bottom of the Eneloop graph represent number of seconds or number of data points? If data points what are the intervals per second?
I notice the power dropped from 124mW to 110mW at POINT 160 and the graph ended at 96mW at POINT 245. I am new to this, can this be considered as stable for a Green LASER.

Thanks

If you take the numbers on the bottom and divide them by 2, you will have the appx. seconds the laser was run. Nova recommends a duty cycle of 100 seconds on, 10 seconds off.

No pointer is going to be stable. The main point of my graphs was to show that the power output is consistent using any type of battery. This confirms that the regulation of the amount of current being applied to the diode is very good. In case you missed it, I posted another graph in a different thread....simply awesome... ....:
