Remote operation the DLC pro is supported by:

  • TOPTICA Python Laser SDK ((updated with every DLC pro software release) makes the command interface of the DLC pro (and other TOPTICA lasers) easily available in Python. The documentation of the command interface is provided by the DLC pro Command Reference, which is included in any DLC pro software package in the documentation folder. How to use the Python SDK is explained in the project homepage of the package.
  • LabVIEW VIs for integrating the control of a DLC pro (no technical support, also included in any DLC pro update)
