Controlling Lasers with Labjack

[MAH2681]

Hello, I'm trying to use Labview Express 7 and the Labjack U12 to control 2 lasers to begin with. Basically I'd like to turn one off and on and then do the same with the second, by pushing a button, eventually I'd like to run this by itself by some sort of timer, with just a button to start. Eventually the lasers would each perform a measurement for a brief time. I'm new to both Labjack and Labview, although I have looked through both examples and tutorials on both and checked out both websites. I would like to use the EAnalogOut VI to control the lasers, all I need to do is apply 5 volts to active them, but I'm a little unsure how to begin this. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks...

hhi
its good to knw ur working to control laser even i'm trying to do the same as mine is a diode laser and tht too its time constant in term tht time to on is greater do decided to use an acousto optic modulator to operate we send a pulse of 5 volts thru RS232 and we can vary pulse width according to our requirement hey i posted a vi named for reply of
"square waveform (not 50% duty cycle) " just search for this question and take the vi as i'm not having it at present sorry but i think that wll surely help ur
