Recording mode | Transmission mode
Switch to transmission mode. In this mode transmission spectra are shown. Transmission is
calculated using the actual spectrum and a reference and dark spectrum which have to be defined
before.
Recording mode | Reflection mode
Switch to reflection mode. In this mode reflection spectra are shown. Reflection is calculated using
the actual spectrum and a reference and dark spectrum which have to be defined before.
Recording mode | Absorption mode
Switch to absorption mode. In this mode absorption spectra re shown. Reflection is calculated
using the actual spectrum and a reference and dark spectrum which have to be defined before.
Switching between the recording modes is only possible while recording and monitoring are
