mic.lightsource.DHOMLaser532: Matlab Instrument Class for DHOM Laser 532.

Description

This class controls DHOM laser module, setting power within the range of 0 to 400 mW (measured on 2/23/2017). The power modulation is done by providing input analog voltage to the laser controller from a NI card (range 0 to 5V). Needs input of NI Device and AO Channel.
