Setting Integration Time in Software
Software, External Hardware Level Trigger and External Hardware Edge Trigger modes can have the
integration time set via OceanView or SpectraSuite.
Set Integration Time with OceanView
Use the Main Controls of the Set Acquisition Parameters in OceanView to select the trigger mode and to
set the integration time. The Automatic button in the Integration Time control box automatically adjusts
the spectrometer’s integration time to bring the highest point of the signal to 85% of full saturation value.
This value is represented by the horizontal blue line on the preview graph.
