Strip Charts
Overview
SpectraSuite allows you to use Strip Charts to track processes, perform kinetic analyses, and monitor
spectral events all as a function of time. The Strip Chart shows you how the value that you selected
appears over time. This value can be any of the following:
 One pixel (a single wavelength)
 The average of a range of pixels
 An integral calculated by one of three methods representing the area beneath the graph’s trend line
You can acquire this data using any processing mode (transmission, absorbance, etc.).
