Cobolt Monitor software

The Cobolt Monitor software provides a graphical way to monitor the laser performance and to change power, operation mode and other settings.

Driver for USB communication

To connect to the laser via USB, the USB driver must be installed. When installed, a virtual COM port will be created to communicate with the laser.

LabVIEW

Integrate the Cobolt lasers into LabVIEW environment.

Micro-manager drivers

The Cobolt lasers can also be easily integrated into Micro-Manager environment. The appropriate drivers can be downloaded from the open source community website here.

Omicron Laser Tools App

The Omicron Laser Tools App for iPhone, iPad, Android based mobile phones and tablets helps you in your daily work with lasers.

The App offers calculations of coherence length, beam divergence and focal diameter. Furthermore you can find out which Omicron laser is the best choice for your application. You can search by wavelength, operating mode,application and flourescent dye/protein (microscopy/biotech)

The App is available for the iPhone / iPod and the iPad in the iTunes App Store aswell as for Android mobile phones and tablets.
