5. On the A/D Interface tab, enter the same values that you entered in the Configure Hardware

screen (see

Configure Hardware Screen

). When you exit the OOIBase32 application, this data is

stored in the .SPEC file.

6. Click OK to save the data and close the Spectrometer Configuration screen.

Upon exiting OOIBase32, the software stores this configuration information in a spectrometer
configuration file named [your serial number].SPEC. Upon restart, OOIBase32 loads this as the
default .SPEC file. You can change the name of this file by selecting Spectrometer | Save
Configuration As
from the menu and changing the name of the saved .SPEC file.

Enabling the Pushbutton

The Curie features a pushbutton software trigger. To use the pushbutton feature to save spectral data, you
must enable Software Trigger mode in the OOIBase32 software. Note that when the pushbutton feature is
enabled, the spectrum on the screen will only update after the pushbutoon is pushed. The display is frozen
until the pushbutton is used.

See

Autoincrementing Filenames

to save all spectra in the spectral window automatically and name the

file with the base name and numerical index that you specify.

Procedure

To enable the pushbutton feature in the OOIBase32 software, do the following:

1. Select

Spectrum | Configure Data Acquisition from the menu or click the

button. The

Configure Data Acquisition screen appears.

2. Select the External Trigger tab.
