The Smart Line Camera is designed for general laboratory use. Integrated routines allows
averaging, smoothing, as well as saving and recalling data sets.
The initial setup is simple to complete. Following installation of the software, the LC100 line
camera is ready to use. Simply plug it into a USB 2.0 port and run the application software
SPLICCO. The remainder of this manual is devoted to the setup procedure and features of the
line camera. A troubleshooting section and detailed specifications of the various components
are provided to further assist. The description of the instrument driver commands can be found
in the VXIpnp VISA instrument driver package.
Application software SPLICCO
SPLICCO is an acronym for "SPectrometer and LIne Camera COntrol". This software can be
used for acquiring direct, transmittance and absorbance measurements in conjunction with
Thorlabs line cameras and spectrometers.
After the installation the software is able to communicate with the line camera. Additionally, two
virtual devices are included: a line camera and a spectrometer, to demonstrate the functionality
of SPLICCO.
