Problem:
A manufacturer of optical and laser systems asked us to develop a new generation laser etching system.
It needed to be based on a hand-held device with an easy to use pen-based application.
The application had to control laser power levels, selection and editing of marker shapes and
editing of galvanometer parameters. To meet these requirements we developed both a Windows
Mobile 5.0 application running on a HP iPaq and an embedded system module. The multi-threaded
Windows application features a series of easy to use custom tabbed dialogs for laser control,
marker editing and system configuration. The application communicates via a BlueTooth link to a
custom embedded system utilizing a Silicon Lab's microprocessor for lower-level laser and galvanometer
control. Video can also be sent back from a camera mounted on the microscope for visual feedback.
