Waves includes from your own software. It consists source control, or general purpose sophisticated algorithms for data of a Windows DLL library for the I/O pins. acquisition and evaluation, which .NET framework, documentation, The Qwave supports three trigger provides the following features and sample code. The SDK can modes: software trigger, interval through a clear and straightforward be used with any programming trigger, and external trigger. It can user interface. language that can use .NET DLLs, be set to trigger on the start or the including C , Visual Basic .NET, Take and display series of spectra end of the exposure period. For C++/CLI, Delphi, LabVIEW, Matlab, Automatic exposure control with synchronizing the Qwave precisely and Mathematica. dark spectrum interpolation to external events, a special low- jitter mode is available. Import most ASCII-based file Communication Protocol formats The spectrometer can also Export as ASCII table to almost be directly controlled from an any numerical analysis software embedded microcontroller or other operating systems using the Comprehensive tools for device communication protocol. displaying and analyzing spectra Just like our application software, Strip charts for comparing the protocol is designed to be characteristic values between both powerful and easy to use for multiple spectra including peak software developers. follower in real time Graph printing and export to PDF Qwave Schematic Drawing Dynamic peak finder (no need to set a threshold level) Dark spectrum interpolation 10 Transmission, absorption, and 18.2 reflection measurements 68 Colorimetry Waves is very easy to use and very intuitive. Various spectrum evaluation options are available with minimal effort and only a few mouse clicks. For example, to zoom in, adjust the zoom slider. To move around, adjust the scrollbar. To change the x-axis unit, select the corresponding button. Values such as peaks or colorimetry are instantly calculated as soon as a spectrum is taken.
