Control Function
Continuous Strobe Set the continuous strobe period.
Acquisition Delay Set the trigger delay.
Baseline Correction This control appears only for STS spectrometers. Check this box to display the
nonlinearity correction and straylight correction controls.
*Electric Dark must be enabled to use nonlinearity correction and stray light correction. Otherwise, these
controls will be grayed out. These controls will not appear in the panel if the stored coefficients are invalid
or missing.
Note
For NIRQuest spectrometers, a dark spectrum must be stored first. A dark spectrum is different
from a background spectrum since a dark spectrum is totally devoid of light. A dark spectrum is
stored by clicking Store Now in the No dark spectrum stored section of the Acquisition
Parameter Controls panel. Once a dark spectrum is stored, nonlinearity and stray light can be set.
Add/Remove Controls Tab
Select this tab to add or remove functionality from the Main Controls tab on the Acquisition Parameters
Controls dialog box.
• Adding a control will cause those settings to be applied every time this acquisition requests new
input data.
• Removing a control means that its settings will be left alone by this acquisition. If multiple
acquisitions are sharing a single data input, you might want to remove controls from all but one so
that the settings can be changed in just one place for all of the acquisitions.
Note
The controls for the feature that the acquisition was started for cannot be removed. These settings
will always be used prior to each request for data. For example, if an acquisition was started for a
spectrometer, then its features (such as integration time) may be provided by default and cannot
be removed. However, controls for certain supporting features (such as lamp enable or shutter)
may be enabled by default but can be removed if desired.
GPIO Function
In the Acquisition Parameter Controls panel, the GPIO table consists of three separate controls for each
GPIO pin in the device: Value, Out?, and Alt?.
