For absorbance measurements, high resolution is not required, so smoothing makes the spectrum easier to
see and can reduce errors. Setting the pixels to average above 5 is not normally necessary.
Copy Data to Clipboard
The Copy Data tool takes a snapshot of the live spectral data for export as a CSV file into Excel or any
Microsoft Office application.
The data is exported into 2-headed columns in I, A an T modes. The first column is wavelength and the
second column depends on the mode.
Snapshot
Snapshot allows you to freeze as many spectral lines as you want to make comparisons. The frozen lines
can be saved by printing, printing to file or print screen. They will not be saved as spectral data; only the
live spectral line can be saved as a spectrum.
