Use this dialog box to set the following spectrometer functions:
Control Function
Integration Time Set the spectrometer’s integration time in ms starting from 8 ms. The preferred
Delimiter to separate the digits is the “.” Symbol.
Scans to average Set the number of spectral recordings to use to average for the spectrum. It is
recommended that a single spectrum be used. Use only one spectrum if a solar
simulator is being used.
The function is disabled.
Boxcar width Set the number of pixels to use for a moving average. The recommend setting is 5.
The bandwith of one pixel is ~ 0.7 nm for the QE65000 and ~ 1.6 nm for the
NirQuest512.
TEC set Set the detector temperature in °C. Use the specified temperature in the calibration
documents or see the calibration label below the RaySphere’s main body. The
calibration has an increased uncertainty if a different TEC is chosen. See
Nonlinearity Correction and Calibration for more detail.
Save TEC
settings Saves the temperature setting. After changing the temperature, it is recommended to
record a valid dark spectrum.
