GOSSEN Foto- und Lichtmesstechnik GmbH 5
1 Introduction
GL SpectroSoft is optional evaluation software with an intuitive user interface and
extensive measuring functions for the spectral analysis of light sources, as well as
transmission and reflection measurements. Spectral values measured with the
MAVOSPEC and the respectively required accessories, as well as externally generated
spectra, can be evaluated in accordance with current CIE standards. The software
calculates colorimetric magnitudes such as chromaticity in accordance with various CIE
standards, correlated color temperature, chromaticity error, peak wavelength, dominant
wavelength, color rendering index and index of metamerism. Extensions such as
scotopic and photopic values, PAR and PPFD values and MacAdam ellipses can be
implemented upon request.
The software is extremely well suited for general light assessments, for laboratory
applications and for quality assurance in production. The configurable desktop can be
adapted to the respective measuring task, and displays only the required information in
a clear-cut fashion. Various program versions are available to match different
requirements.
