Depending on sensor configuration and range, the 1940-R and 2940-R provide up to 200 kHz analog bandwidth, enabling detailed characterization of modulated photodiode signals, pulsed and chopped beams, dynamic waveform behavior, rapid changing optical signals in optical alignment, and more. Real-time acquisition up to 10 kHz allows precise visualization of transient optical changes. A high-speed analog output mirrors the raw sensor signal, enabling oscilloscope or DAQ capture.

High-rate, time-stamped data can be logged to the 2 GB internal memory (stores approximately 40 million measurements) or to external storage via user-supplied USB flash drive. Users can immediately review trends, zoom into events, or export data for offline processing. Time-correlation enables tuning, alignment, and automation workflows with precise traceability.

The 1940-R/2940-R power meters offer extensive connectivity for seamless integration into automated test environments, including USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet (RJ-45), and RS-232 (9 pin D-type). A trigger in enables synchronized measurements. A programmable analog output with selectable full-scale ranges (0–1 V, 0–2 V, 0–5 V, or 0–10 V), 0.003% of full-scale resolution, and 50 Ω output impedance enables precise interfacing with PLCs, alignment stages, and DAQ systems. Together, these interfaces support remote operation, closed-loop alignment, and efficient data logging across automated production environments.

The knob-and-button interface allows for fast and precise manual adjustment making it ideal for tuning, threshold setting, scaling, and scrolling. The knob provides tactile control for operators who prefer physical inputs and enhances usability when interacting with long menus or graphical zooming. It also allows operators to wear gloves while interfacing the power meter.
