0. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MUSTANG optical interrogator developed by
Pyroistech S.L. This document describes the equipment and provides you with instructions
for its correct operation. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any
questions or concerns about this manual.
The equipment integrates an SLD light source, an optical circulator and a
spectrometer to measure the power reflected by the sensor connected to the output of
the device. The equipment also has a processor in charge of managing both the light
source and the spectrometer as well as the graphical interface. The end user can connect
a screen, a keyboard, a mouse and a USB memory to the equipment, as well as the
desired sensor to the FC / APC output of the device and have the values measured by the
spectrometer through the software.
1. Package content
The shipment contains the following items:
•MUSTANG Optical interrogator
•Power source
•Power cord
•Keyboard and mouse
•User manual
Carefully inspect the device and other items in the shipment and make sure there is
no damage. Otherwise, do not use the equipment and contact us through
[email protected] for information on repair or replacement.

2. Operation
2.1 Blocks diagram
2.2 Instructions for use
Insert the power cord plug into the power source and connect the power cord to the
outlet. Then insert the plug of the power source into the device's power connector
(female type DC connector).
Insert the screen's HDMI connector into the device's HDMI input, as well as the
provided keyboard and mouse into a USB connection.
Unscrew the protective cap from the FC/APC connector on the front face of the
device and connect the fiber. Then press the button on the front of the device and wait
afew seconds for the button indicator light to come on. The Pyrometer Spectroscopy
Software program will launch on the screen. If you want to save files, connect a USB
memory to the device.
IMPORTANT: To turn off the device, click on the off button on the screen, wait at
least 10 seconds, and then press the same button used to turn on the device. Wait at
least another 10 seconds before unplugging the power cord or turning the device on
again.
If the device hangs, it is recommended to try turning the device off and on.If the
blockage persists, repeat the same steps but also disconnecting the power.
2.3 Maintenance
The output connector of the device should be periodically cleaned using
compressed air to remove dust. It is recommended to have the output connector with
the dust cap on whenever the device is not in use. The fiber connector that connects to
the output of the device must also be clean to ensure the best possible performance of
the equipment.

1. Spectrometer control area
2. SLD control area
2.5.1 Screen description
1. Spectrometer control area
To modify the value of the parameters, the arrows can be used and the change
will be made automatically, or a value can be entered with the keyboard. In the
latter case, it is necessary to press enter for the change to be effective.
a) Temperature: spectrometer temperature in degrees Celsius (ºC).
b) Integration Time (ms): integration time of the spectrometer in ms.It can take
a value between 1 and 65.536 ms.
c) Scans to average: number of spectra that are averaged.
d) Boxcar width: filter parameter. It can take odd values between 1 and 15.If an
even value is entered, the program will replace it with the odd number
immediately above it.If a value greater than 15 is entered, the value sent to
the spectrometer will be 15.

5. Off button: closes the application. Once closed, the device must be
switched off with the button located on the front face.

a) Slider: control of the power of the SLD by means of a slider that allows
selecting between 13 fixed positions, where the first corresponds to the
SLD in off state and the last to the SLD in on state at 100%.
Note: The SLD is in ACC mode (Automatic Current Control).
a) Full screen: resets the y-axis between 0 and 65.536.To zoom, place the
cursor on the graph and draw a rectangle over the area to be enlarged.
b) Black spectrum: enables/disables the black spectrum subtraction. When
activated, the current spectrum is saved as the black spectrum and the
button is highlighted in blue. Once the black spectrum is acquired, the
spectrum displayed on the screen corresponds to the difference between
the measured spectrum and the black spectrum.
c) Capture spectrum: freezes the current spectrum on the graph in blue.
d) Remove capture: removes the spectrum frozen with 'Capture spectrum’.
e) Configure data acquisition: opens the menu in which you configure the
directory in which the spectra data are saved, the name of the files
generated, as well as the frequency with which they are saved. For more
details, see section 2.5.2 Spectra acquisition.
f) Start/End data acquisition: starts/ends the process of saving the data.
When data acquisition is activated, the button will remain blue.

2.5.2 Spectra acquisition
To configure the spectra acquisition, press the button
The following menu will open:
a
b
c
d
a) File format: ASCII without header ('ASCII (plain)') or ASCII with header ('ASCII
(with header data)'). Each spectrum is saved in a .txt file. The header includes
the date and time, user, device identity, spectrometer settings, graph units, start
and end wavelengths (see example on next page).
b) Output Directory: enables to select the directory in which the spectra are
saved. By default, when you click on , the /home/pi directory will open,
from where you can access the desktop (‘Desktop’ folder) or the ‘USBs’ folder. In
the ‘USBs’ folder, folders will appear with the names of the USBs that are
connected to the device (see example on the next page). The selected directory
must be /home/pi, the desktop or the inserted USB.
c) Filename: enter the name you want for the files in which the spectra are saved,
and press enter. The name entered must appear in 'Preview Output'. The full
name with which each of the spectra is saved will be this name plus the
timestamp (date plus time including min, s and ms).
d) Save Options: There is the option of saving each one of the spectra ('Save
every scan') or saving one every certain number of spectra ('Save after every:'). If
the latter option is selected, enter the desired number and press enter.
Once all the menu options have been configured, click on 'Apply' and then on
'Exit' or on the cross in the upper right corner to close the menu.
To start the spectra acquisition, press the button
