Acquisition
This worksheet page has buttons for the control of data acquisition, and displays the color space
values for the sample being analyzed.
Store Reference
In reflective color measurements, this button stores the reflection spectrum of either the white
standard (such as Ocean Optics’ WS-1) or your working standard or field tile (see the Parameters
page). For emissive color measurements, this button stores the spectrum of a blackbody of known
color temperature (e.g., Ocean Optics’ LS-1 has a color temperature of 3100K).
Store Dark
This button is for storing the spectrum obtained when there is no light entering the
spectrometer.
Calibrate Field Tile
This button is used to calibrate a working standard or field tile so that you can use something
other than a white standard to reference your spectrometer system.
Start Acquisition
After storing a dark and a reference, this button start the real-time data acquisition, which
constantly updates the color space values and graphs.
Stop Acquisition
This button stops the real-time data acquisition.
Log Value
This button takes the current XYZ and L*a*b* values and stores them in the Stored Values
worksheet page along with a time stamp and a brief, user-entered, description of the sample
being analyzed.
