LCC25 is a Windows-based control package developed by THORLABS Inc. that provides both end-user and developer-level access to the company’s LCC25 liquid-crystal controller hardware. Designed for precision photonics work, the program exposes a straightforward graphical interface for real-time adjustment of retardance, voltage, and frequency parameters, while also supplying a comprehensive LabVIEW™, C++, and Python SDK that allows the instrument to be scripted inside larger automated test rigs or OEM systems. Typical use cases span polarization analysis, electro-optic switching, laser modulation, and closed-loop adaptive optics, where repeatable sub-millisecond control is required. The software is categorized under Science / Laboratory Equipment and carries version 4.0.1 as its initial and current release, indicating that the 4.x codebase is the first public build offered through the catalog. Engineers can therefore expect a feature-complete yet evolving platform that already supports multi-channel calibration tables, waveform generation, and SCPI-style remote commands. Because the same installer bundles the runtime application and all language bindings, research groups can standardize on one package whether they prefer point-and-click operation or deep code integration. LCC25 is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
