Versions:
SLS701 version 1.1.1, published by THORLABS Inc., is a Windows-based instrument-control utility that provides full graphical remote command of the company’s SLS701 broadband light source. Designed for laboratory and manufacturing environments where optical benches are enclosed or otherwise difficult to access, the program replicates almost every physical front-panel action—intensity fine-tuning, on/off cycling, open- versus closed-loop mode switching, and independent activation of rear-panel output ports—through a single, responsive interface. Because the firmware continuously streams status data, the GUI and the hardware panel remain perfectly synchronized; a change made on either side is reflected instantly on the other, eliminating conflicting set-points and removing the need to repeat adjustments after switching control methods. This bidirectional awareness makes the software particularly useful for automated test sequences, long-term stability studies, or multi-user facilities where operators may alternate between local and remote interaction. The application is categorized under Science / Laboratory equipment control software and, as the sole release to date, version 1.1.1 is distributed as a no-cost download on get.nero.com, with installations available through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always retrieving the newest build, and supporting batch deployment alongside other scientific utilities.
