Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

Happy to hear you and TL received yours.

TL...nice graph....isn't it fun playing with the data and charting it?
 
Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

It's great fun now all I haver to do is become an expert with the graph making ;D
 
Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

Ok boys and girls here's a graph of my Aries 175mw running for 10mins on fresh recharged Nimh batteries, which don't really give the Aries the kick it likes so I'll run a test on some brand new alkalines a.s.a.p. The peak was 207.2mw once the diode got warmed up it sat at 193-197mw for a while then drifted down as the batteries waned away.
So here is the LPM chart below so don't take the piss out of my graph making skills ;D ;D ;D [smiley=smiley_down.gif] [smiley=smiley_down.gif] [smiley=smiley_down.gif] [smiley=smiley_down.gif]

Nice one TL !! I'm in the same situation as you, figuring out how to convert the data in a nice graph.

I'll put up some of my results soon,.. btw, how did you manage to hold the ND8 filter in place? you got a holder for it or something?
 
Re: ** IT'S OFFICIAL **  Laser Power Meter GB

I used good old fashioned blu-tack to hold the filter ensuring that none of the main sensor was covered and no other light can get into the meter.

Yeah I think you did hold it too :D I'm having a lot of fun with it too. As for power to the meter because it eats batteries in a big way, I'm using a telescope power pack that also has a 9volt outlet of nice clean DC power ;)

That's a nice power tank and the price is reasonable too. And a 17amp battery built in is a hefty one.. :P
