Each instrument includes memory and a display for stand-alone operation as well as capability for personal
computer (PC) and personal data assistant (PDA) assisted operation. PC communications to the
instrument are available through its USB client port, a Bluetooth wireless connection, or via RS-232. A
PDA may control the instrument via a Bluetooth connection or via RS-232.
The instruments include a second Bluetooth channel that may optionally communicate with an external
sensor suite.
When operated in stand-alone mode, up to 1 spectral readings can be stored within the instrument for
subsequent down loading and analysis using a PC. All spectroradiometer identification and calibration
information is stored on board, so there are no external files to manage.
The instrument contains an internal GPS device to record the latitude, longitude, and time of each spectral
reading.
This instrument is self contained and incorporates an easily replaceable battery called a SMARTPACK.
The battery chargers supplied with the instrument have the capability to charge the LI-Ion batteries from
line voltage with the AC adapter.
The computer based operation allows for real time data display and data analysis. Radiance and percent
reflectance are provided within the acquisition software. Stand-alone operation makes this same
information available for display on the instrument’s LCD (liquid crystal display), which is located on the
rear panel on the instrument.
A full range of options are available. These options include alternate foreoptics, fiber optic light guides,
irradiance spheres, cosine diffusers, Reflectance Probe, back packs, white reference panels, tripods and
other custom engineered field devices.

2. INTRODUCTION
The PC Data Acquisition Software provides the user with a flexible, easy to use software package. The PC
Data Acquisition Software is used to acquire data from the instrument, store data to files on disk, and
display data graphically.
The PC Data Acquisition Software can modify spectroradiometer parameters, take spectral measurements,
and download spectral measurements from the on-board memory of the instrument to files on disk. The
PC Data Acquisition Software allows data to be configured and stored to a file on disk when taking a
spectral measurement.
The software has a number of features that provide a great deal of flexibility for spectral data acquisition,
display, and storage:
•Data files can be configured as SIG Files for use with PC Data Acquisition Software; SIG
Files are saved to disk and may read back into the PC Data Acquisition Software at a later
time for analysis.
•Data files can be configured as user defined ASCII Files for export to other software
packages; ASCII fo mat files cannot be ead back into the PC Data Acquisition
Softwa e at a later time.
•Data files can be automatically created and given an incremental extension at the end of the
acquisition.
•Data can be saved to a unique file name at the end of the acquisition.
•New data may be acquired manually by clicking the mouse on a button or pressing a “hot
key”; or new data may be taken automatically using a configurable timer.
•Spectral data may be displayed in one of two ways:
o“Single Graph” mode, which displays the Reference and Target Radiance on the left
Y-axis and the Percent Reflectance on the right Y-axis for a single measurement.
o“Multi Graph” mode, which displays the Reference Radiance, Target Radiance, or
Percent Reflectance of up to 24 measurements in one graph.
Several tools are built into the software that allow SIG format data files to be merged, re-sampled, or re-
processed automatically (see the Tools Menu description below.)
The Data Acquisition Software’s initial screen is shown below.
