1.3 QUICK LAUNCH GUIDE
In this section you will find how to take a power or energy laser measurement with the MIRO ALTITUDE device
and a Gentec-EO power or energy detector. Detailed instructions of all the device’s functionalities can be found in
Section 2.
Quick procedure to measure power and energy:
1. Press the power button of the MIRO ALTITUDE to turn it on, which is in the upper right part of the front of
the device.
2. Connect the power or energy detector to the input port of the MIRO ALTITUDE.
3. Tap the menu icon ( ) to open the control center.
4. Tap on “Tap to connect a detector”and choose the corresponding detector, then tap APPLY.
5. Close the control center ( ) or select “Display” to view the measurements. The software will be configured
by default for power measurements when a power detector is connected. In the same way, the software
will be configured by default for energy measurements when an energy detector is connected. The screen
will show data in scope display, which is the default measurement display, with automatic adjustment of
the range (power or energy level).
There are three display options of the average laser power or energy:

User Manual –MIRO ALTITUDE Revision 1 7
a. Chart mode: A scrolling graph in scope display to evaluate laser variations over time.
b. Needle mode: A digital pointer or needle allowing for a precise adjustment. This allows
seeing the instantaneous variation of the laser power or energy.
c. Bar mode: A bar graph display for real time measurements.
6. Remove the protection cover of the sensor and power on the laser.
Wavelength adjustment
The wavelength can be set according to the laser being used. Tap on the wavelength setting in the left-hand tab:
A menu will appear which allows selection of the wavelength. MIRO ALTITUDE will then apply the calibration
factor corresponding to the selected wavelength to convert the detector’s signal into measured values.
(See section 2.3.6.1 for more details)
Zero offset
The power measurement of the MIRO ALTITUDE might not be exactly zero even if there is no laser beam on the
sensor. The "ZERO" button sets the detector’s current value to zero. Subsequent measurements will be taken
based on this new zero power level.
1. Place the detector in the optical path of the laser. The entire laser beam must be inside the detector
aperture. Do not exceed the specified maximum energy or power density thresholds. Distribute the beam
on 60% to 80% of the detection surface to obtain the most accurate measurements.
2. Wait a few minutes so the detector reaches thermal equilibrium.
3. Thermal detectors: Block any laser radiation towards the detector. Wait until the measurement is stable.
Photodiodes: Block the laser. There is no need to wait when using a photodiode.
4. Click on the "ZERO" button. The zero will be adjusted for the selected range and it will be adjusted for all
the ranges if you are in automatic range mode.
Notes:
Please refer to the specific documentation for your power detector to see the complete installation and
operating instructions.
Power detectors are sensitive to temperature variations.
To perform high-precision measurements, we suggest the following:
⬧Wait until the detector temperature is stable before adjusting the zero;
⬧Do not touch the power detector. It is better to handle it touching its optical support;
⬧Reduce air currents around the detector.
Data recording
The “Record session” button ( ) opens the data recording settings. Start the recording by tapping on the
“RECORD”button. MIRO ALTITUDE has an internal memory with enough space to store several recordings. (See
section 2.3.5.3 for more details)

User Manual –MIRO ALTITUDE Revision 1 8

Specifications subject to change without notice
1 When low-sensitivity detectors are used for low power measurements, the application of the polarization tension
can produce a measurement error. It is fundamental to use the ZERO function to redefine the zero of the MIRO
ALTITUDE before taking measurements under these conditions. It is a best practice to use the ZERO function.
2Values might vary according to the detector that is being used.
3Including linearity.
4This transfer rate depends on the PC that is being used. The host PC must be fast enough to receive and handle
incoming data. Recommended hardware: Intel Duo Core processor with a clock speed of 2.4 GHz or more.

1. Power button
To power on or off the MIRO ALTITUDE press the power button for half a second.
In case of a problem, to reboot the device, keep the button pressed for approximately 6 seconds.
If the green LED indicator on the button is on or flashing, this means that the device is charging.
2. Touchscreen
The MIRO ALTITUDE has a 10.1” multi touchscreen with an active surface of 217.56 (L) x 136.2(H) mm.
To clean your screen, it is recommended to use a cleansing cloth or a soft, dry, and lint-free cloth. If necessary,
you can humidify the cloth with one of the following elements: water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) 70% or lower, or a
cleaner for eyeglasses.
3. Detector input
MIRO ALTITUDE has a female DB-15 connector to connect Gentec-EO detectors.
MIRO ALTITUDE works with most Gentec-EO energy and power detectors that have a DB-15 connector. See the
table of specifications for additional information. The MIRO ALTITUDE device can read the calibration information
stored in each energy and power detector, thus ensuring precise operation. Furthermore, it uses the specific data
from your detector included in the Personal Wavelength Correction™certificate. MIRO ALTITUDE reads the
information stored in the Smart Interface connector’s memory (as from version 5) and proceeds to a customized
correction of the wavelength based on the spectral data measured for your detector.
The MIRO ALTITUDE device might not recognize certain older sensors.
This DB-15 connector, though similar to that of the former TPM-310 and TPM-330
monitors, is incompatible with the power detector heads of PS-310 Series Version 1
and PS-330 Series Version 1. These heads used a different technology and do not
have the same pin-out configuration.
4. BNC connectors
The analog output, synchronization signal output and the triggering signal input can be used with the BNCs on the
device.
Analog output
Used to monitor the average laser power or energy with an independent device, such as a recorder, a computer
with an analog interface, a voltmeter, etc. To use this feature, please use a standard BNC cable.
If you are making a power measurement, the output signal will be an analog DC voltage proportional to the
amplified or anticipated signal. If you are making an energy measurement, the output signal will be an analog DC
voltage corresponding to the pulse energy.

User Manual –MIRO ALTITUDE Revision 1 13
The user must specify the maximum output voltage and the maximum value of the power or energy range through
the MIRO ALTITUDE application or the series commands. The measured power or energy is then converted to
output voltage considering the measurement range specified according to the following equation:
Voutput = (Measurement × Maximum output voltage) / Maximum of the output analog range
For example, for a maximum output voltage of 2.0 V and an analog range with a maximum of 10 W:
2.0 V corresponds to 10 W
1.0 V corresponds to 5 W
Another practical example: to configure the analog output so that 1 V corresponds to a measured power of 56 W,
with a maximum output voltage of 2 V, the analog output range must have a maximum power of 112 W, according
to the following equation:
Maximum of the output analog range = 56 × 2.0 = 112
Specifications of the analog output:
Maximum output voltage: 5.0 V
Connector type: Female BNC
Precision at full range: 1% of the measured value, ± 5 mV
The analog output should be used with a high impedance load.
Synchronization output (coming soon)
Trigger signal
To perform energy measurements, you can connect the MIRO ALTITUDE to an external trigger, using a BNC
cable.
The beginning of the external trigger signal must arrive in a time window relative to the beginning of the laser pulse.
This window begins 20% of the rise-time before the laser pulse and ends one rise-time after the beginning of the
pulse minus the minimum trigger pulse width.
5. Programmable connectors (coming soon)
6. RS232 port
Any device that has a serial communication port (computer, terminal, or another) can receive the data of the MIRO
ALTITUDE through the serial port and control it remotely.
