• Main Controls – Set the basic and advanced features of the attached spectrometer. The Automatic
button in the Integration Time control box automatically adjusts the spectrometer’s integration time
to bring the highest point of the signal to 85% of full saturation value. This value is represented by
the horizontal blue line on the preview graph.
The integration time may also be set manually by using the numeric spinner control and the drop-
down units menu. Note that the Nonlinearity Correction control is grayed out until the Electric
Dark control is enabled. Also note that once a triggering mode for the spectrometer has been set, the
device will wait for an external trigger before continuing. It will appear as though the spectrometer
has locked up and no further data acquisitions will occur until the External Trigger pin on the device
receives a signal.
Caution
If you have accidentally entered a trigger mode without an external trigger available, you
must disconnect and reconnect the spectrometer to continue.
• Add/Remove Controls – Select which feature controls are displayed on the Main Controls tab. To
enable a control, check the box next to that feature. Note that the Spectrometer feature is already
checked and grayed out. This feature places certain necessary spectrometer controls on the Main
Controls tab and cannot be removed.
• The Feature Control section allows you to control certain features of the spectrometer such as lamp
and trigger controls.
