Indicators

Status

SpectraSuite provides you with feedback as to the status of the acquisitions you have graphed. The
indicators refer to spectra shown on the graph currently displayed, as well as spectra on any other graphs
that you have open (that appear on the graphs accessed from the tabs at the top of the screen). The
feedback is in the bottom, right corner of the screen in the form of different colored circles. In the
following example, two status indicators are shown for both spectral lines on Graph C, while a third
indicator appears for the spectral line on Graph B.

Each circle corresponds to a graphed spectrum. If you pass the arrow pointer over a circle, it displays the
spectrometer to which it refers and the related settings (e.g., USB2G6142, Int time: 20 ms, avg: 10,
boxcar: 3
). Click on a circle to select its associated spectrometer.
