The Nova II is a very versatile and sophisticated handheld laser power/energy meter. Just plug in one of the many Ophir sensors and you have a whole measurement laboratory at your fingertips. The Nova II has many on-board features such as laser tuning, data logging, graphing, normalize, power or energy density units, attenuation scaling, max and min limits. The Nova II can also display the power or energy with a high resolution simulated analog needle display.

The Nova II can be operated either by battery or from an AC source with the charger plugged in at all times. Its backlight allows illumination of the power meter in low light conditions.

The built-in USB and RS232 interfaces and StarLab and StarCom PC software allow on-line processing of data or processing previously stored data; results are displayed graphically on a PC. To support PC interfacing, LabVIEW drivers and COM Object Interface are provided
