2 Palm-SPEC Specifications
This chapter contains an overview of Palm-SPEC operation and component specifications.
How the Palm-SPEC Works
The Palm-SPEC Spectrophotometer uses a 2048-element linear CCD array detector inside of a miniature cross
Czerny-Turner optical bench with a 600 lines/mm grating. This provides a simultaneous display of 2048
wavelengths over the 370-950 nm range. The system also features a built-in light source consisting of a long-life
tungsten bulb paired with multiple violet LEDs. The sampling system is designed for use with 1 cm square
cuvettes and includes a cuvette holding rack.
The result of this innovative design is remarkable performance: Optical resolution of ~2.0 nm FWHM, stray light of
<0.05% and photometric linearity of ~99.9%.

Handheld PC Specifications
Ocean Optics constantly updates the handheld PC that ships with the Palm-SPEC system. As a result, a variety
of different handheld PCs have shipped with the Palm-SPEC system since it’s introduction.
For detailed specifications on your handheld PC, consult the product documentation that shipped with the
handheld PC. Alternately, you can search for information on your handheld PC (via the handheld PC model
number) at
http://www.hp.com or http://www.compaq.com .
Note: The Palm-SPEC handheld PC ships with Pocket PC 2002 or later installed. Earlier versions of the Palm-
SPEC handheld PC featured Windows CE. While functionally similar, there are aesthetic differences
between the screen shots shown in this manual and on the Windows CE handheld PCs.
