Spectrometer
Enables you to input data to and output data from the connected spectrometer.
Location: Click the Device Manage button and select Rescan or Add Device to insert a new spectrometer
node on the schematic diagram.
Number of Inputs: Varies based on the spectrometer model.
Type of Inputs: Only output control nodes can be wired into the spectrometer node.
Type of Output: scalar or array
User Controls: Varies based on the spectrometer model.
Notes:
The icon for this node varies depending on the type of spectrometer connected. The serial number for the
device appears under the icon.
Right-click on this node to bring up a selection menu for additional input and output options.
Double-click on the Spectrometer node to display a list of device features and specifications.
Splice (Splice)
Combines multiple arrays into one larger array and outputs the combination.
Location: Advanced Math -->Array Math --> Splice
Number of Inputs: infinite
Type of Inputs: SubRange Node
Type of Output: array
User Controls: Starting Wavelength slider, Ending Wavelength slider, Full Range button, and Remove
Data Range button for each SubRange node; Apply and Add Range buttons
Notes: A SubRange node must feed into the Splice node for each data array to be spliced together. To
keep the y-axis units consistent, the SubRange nodes should not get their data from different source types
(e.g., relative irradiance and absolute irradiance).
►
Procedure
1. Once all the SubRange nodes have been wired into the Splice node, double-click the Splice node
to open it and set the x-axis ranges for the different arrays. The slider bars allow easy selection of
starting and ending values for each array. The final combination is shown in the bottom graph.
